that really hurts

well, getting a tattoo really hurts but the result is awesome.

it took 2 1/2 hours to finish 3/4 of my dragon. it's black and grey and fills up the space between my bra straps (in other words it's BIG). i have to go back in two weeks to get the right wing finished up. i haven't had a chance to get a good look at it, since it's in a kind of awkward place, but everyone who's seen it has said it's gorgeous. the tattoo artist said it was "diesel" and "bad ass". that sounds good to me!

the outlining hurt like razor blades. right now it feels sort of warm and sore, like sunburn.

i honestly will put up pictures of the tattoo and the pincer very soon. really.
