DRAGON :: Back
Created :: 2005
Time it took :: About 9 hours give or take half an hour.  It took 4 sittings.

Notes :: This was to cover up an old dragon tattoo that I didn't like very much.  You can still see it slightly underneath if you look closely in the picture.  

I love this tattoo, I think it was really well done and I'm so pleased I chose to get this rather than try to get my old one looking better!

CHINESE SYMBOLS :: Right forearm
Created :: 2003
Time it took :: About 30 minutes.

Notes :: As simple as this tattoo is, it's probably my favorite next to the dragon tattoo above.  The top symbol means something along the lines of spirit, but a Chinese guy told me it's more like
Karma.  The second one means calmness and death - morbid huh?!  They both have pretty personal meanings to me and I know I'd never regret having them. Oh and the marks on my arm
in the pic, are from a catsuit

SYMBOL :: Back of neck
Created :: 2001
Time it took :: About 20 minutes.

Notes :: This one looks wonky in the picture but it's just the way I'm sitting!  This doesn't really mean anything, it was just a symbol that I liked, slightly inspired by the film Blade!  A bit sad I guess but I do love movies!  This was also probably the most uncomfortable to have done.  I could feel the vibrations down my spine and it wasn't very nice!  Surprisingly the dragon one above didn't hurt as much as this!  Well maybe in a couple of places...

STONE DRAGONS :: Left shoulder blade
Created :: 1998
Time it took :: About 40 minutes.

Notes :: This is not one of my favorites!  I liked the picture but I don't think the tattoo was done very well and it faded fast!  I'm going to see if someone can fix this one up for me and make it
look better

BAND :: Left upper arm
Created :: 1997
Time it took :: About 45 minutes.

Notes :: This was the first tattoo I ever got and I was so nervous! I really built it up in my head about how much it would hurt, but as soon as it started, I realised I had nothing to worry about!  
This one isn't something I'd pick to have done now, but I don't mind it.  If I ever find something that's not too big that I could have over it, maybe I will!
