It takes me a long time to think up a tattoo. It took me about a year to design and get the tattoo that I got. I want it to mean something to me and mark an important stage in my life.

That's a very nice tatty. Don't feel bad I have been working on my tatty for over a year now. I have a whole back one that I am going for. I want certain colors and I want it the way I want it. I have talked to the artist that will be working on it for me and she said when you are ready we will go ahead with it. She has given me alot of input into it as well. Like changing different things in that would work better. I do however want this tatty done all in one sitting as that is how I like to do it.

Can you really pull off an entire back piece in one sitting? If you do you will have to sit really still for a few days as it heals. Really really still and get others to do things for you.

I will have 2 artists working on me at the same time. We have already discussed it as well so this is the way it will go. And yes I can sit there till it is done. It will however be an all day thing but I don't mind at all. The 2 that I am getting to do it are really fast. That is not true that I will have to sit really still for a few days. I have had others and I still went about my business like always. I did not have anyone help me nor did I complain. Tattoos don't bug me at all. The only thing I will need help with is putting on the lotion as I won't be able to reach all of it.

What I am talking about is that every time you twist a little you will stretch the skin at it is a bit painful. There are many places that you can get a tattoo and not notice, but on the back it can be kinda irritating.

You didn't say what your tattoo meant? I have a few and have decide what i am getting next but they cost so much. I want a rose with never let go down the side of it. It is something between my husband and I.

Oh my tattoo is a broken Chinese yin-yang symbol. The halfs are dragons, an animal that is interesting to me as it is a mysterious and powerful animal. The two colors are green (my color as an earth sign) and blue (my wife's color as a water sign). I got it after my marriage and the space in between the broken halfs is who I am now after my marriage.
