thanks!! it should stay that bright as long as i take care of it..like not going into the sun and getting burned..tanning usually dulls a tattoo..

Oh, and who designed it? YOU?? What a great graphic.

How long/how many sessions did it take?

Can you tell I'm a tatoo rubbernecker?

Wow - I agree with Debbie - what a great looking tattoo. In my younger days I always wanted a small tattoo but - I guess I was chicken. However, I do admire nice looking tattoos - and you have that. It's great.

haha...it was done in 2 sessions...first the outline and shading..then the color..the outline took about 3 1/2 hours and the color about the same...the color was rough..my body was so drained by the time i got home i thought i was gonna pass out..plus i didnt eat much that day which is a big no no...i didnt design it, i just gave my friend sarah (who did the tattoo) a list of items i wanted in it...she pretty much went from there...shes also a super great artist too...amazing work..

Tell Sarah that she's done a beautiful job! It's so creative and well-executed. She definitely has a gift.

I've always wanted a tatoo, but I've never been able to decide what or where I want it for the rest of my life. I have a 16 yo son who is bugging me constantly for permission and wants to go together. He says he'll even get whatever I get, but I don't think he'd go for the sewing theme.

wow! 3 1/2 hours.... I was so happy, when the artist, who made mine was done after an hour ( no sewing theme, no colour...)

Looks awesome!!
