Luna Tail

Day Four Okay here is a better picture. Is that sweet or what? Yesterday it was really leaking black ink. Even today in the shower it was, too. Like Jen said, though, I bet they force the black in there a lot to get that deep black color. I love color in my tattoos, but I do like the sleek outline of this one, too.

I think the artists did a great job and I’m really happy with it. And believe me, I don’t get tattoos on a whim. I’ve been thinking about a dog tattoo for a couple of years. And finally decided this is what I wanted to do.

Maybe next week, or the week after, I’ll get my navel pierced again, I want to have that done, too. I do need to lose weight, too. I have gotten back on my plan again, so that’s good. Though the weekend with agility was hard. Yesterday and today I’ve been good. I wonder how the tattoo will change as my thighs get smaller. I guess we’ll see!

Okay, got up this morning, and sat around while working in my PJs.. ooo I love that. So anyway, I put on my Tattoo Goo, too, to keep it moist. I slept in pants (pajama pants) so that it wouldn’t brush the dogs at night, or the sheets too much, even though the sheets are clean.

It doesn’t hurt today, thank the gods. And I’m really, really liking it.. Oh I’ll go and get a better pic…

Well the pain has decreased significantly, thank the gods. I put more Tattoo Goo on and it seems fine now. I’m keeping it clean on a towel on the couch, and keeping it away from the dogs.

Sitting here keeping it relaxed, I have set up a couple of web directories. They are fun! I have an animal one: Tip Tail Directory, and a generic one: Tails Directory.

So if you like directories I hope you will sign up. There are free and paid options. And you can even list sites that sell Golf Equipment, because all sites are welcome!

Okay here it is. I realized the camera was right next to me on the couch so I should just take a pic and load it up.

I absolutely love it! I wanted Levi’s name on it underneath, and he incorporated it into the tattoo itself. I think it’s great. So now I have a tattoo of Levi on my leg. It’s on my left thigh, high enough I can hide it under a skirt for work, low enough it’ll just peek out under shorts so I can show it off.

At the Blackfoot Idaho show, there was a girl with a tattoo of her dog on her thigh, and I thought it was great and I needed one there. So I got this smooth collie image and now I have one too!

I love tattoos. When I retire I’m going to get some more in more obvious places. With color. The tattoo artists said my skin is a tattoo artists dream. LOL. I’m white, not tanned. He told me how many women ruin there skin with too much sun and fake tanning. I’m glad my skin is still good.
I have to leave the plastic on for 8 hours, and then keep it super super clean for a week so it doesn’t get infected.

And I love it! It’s sooo nice. I haven’t taken a picture of it yet, but I will in a while. I’m dead tired from agility still, and I need to sit for a while. The tattoo didn’t hurt too much to get, but not it kinds stings and it’s bleeding a bit, which is normal.

I love tattoos. I will have to think more to get. After I retire I’ll get some in more obvious places.

I made my appointment for my next Tattoo. I’m going to get it done on Monday at 12:30 PM. He said it shouldn’t take more than an hour and a half, since it’s just an outline. Which is good because at 4:00 PM I’m going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with my hubby and friends! Woo Hoo!

Should be fun. Still not sure I liked Goblet of Fire that much. It went by too fast. Movie III is still my favorite. Book V is my favorite book, so we’ll see how they make that into a movie.

Well I finally decided what I want as my next tattoo. This is my first tattoo that I have on my left Ankle. I got it back in May of 2005. And I love it. I love the design and I love the color. So I’ve been wanting another tattoo for a long time. I wanted something dog related, but I couldn’t figure out what.

A friend suggested I get the smooth collie logo on Smooth Collies .net, and I though geesh, how come I didn’t think of that myself! The logo is on that page. I’ve tried contacting the author but with no luck, so I hope it’s okay with him. I’m not going to have any color, though, just a black outline. And probably get ‘Levi’ written next to it. I’m excited. I’ll have it done next Monday. And I hope to get my navel re-pierced, too. It didn’t heal right last time, when I had it done about 10 years ago. So I’ll try again.
