good good things

So Karl ended up missing the train to go home the other day and stayed here for another two days. I think he intentionally missed it so we could keep hanging out, but who knows.

So now that my arm is almost healed I can finally post pictures.
A few months ago, maybe september, one of my friends, who had been tattooing for a few years, tattooed my arm. I want a lady who looked happy and said girls just want to have fun because thats kind of how ive been living my life for a while. Unfortunately, she didnt look the way I wanted her to look at all, I was so sad. Im not saying hes a bad artist, he did a heart/lock in my ditch and I love it. I tried to have him fix her, but she still wasnt the way I wanted. So after months of debating what I was going to do with her, it was even at the point where I considered getting her covered up, Ian Dana agreed to redo her for me. Looking at his portfolio I cant think of a better person to do a lady and if he hadnt been in Texas at the time I probably would have had him do her to begin with.

Getting her redone....sucked....I dont know why, maybe because he had to re-go over every line that was already in her, but it hurt a million times worse than the first time I got her done. I was supposed to get my elbow done in the same sitting as well, but he said I was bleeding a lot more than usual so he didnt want to keep going and I was in a lot of pain so i didnt want to sit any longer either.
Heres before and after pictures.

I like her so much more now. After I get my elbow done we're going to fill in the rest of my arm with that purple color. The fact that its almost done is so strange. Though part of me is considering now finishing it yet because I really want to save to get a puppy when I move....in 4 months. I guess I'll wait and see what happens. Theres really not much more left to do though.
