Being tattooed with a machine is much different than being tattooed with bamboo.
Perhaps it was the location and the amount of work being done that was the "real" difference, but phewww that was an intense way to spend a few hours.
Once Mal and I arrived in Daegu (10/13), we headed straight out to meet Jeff. A few minutes shooting the breeze and it was time to get down to work.
My tattoo was significantly smaller than the piece Mallory was having done, so despite being an almost tattoo virgin, I was up first. Since my first tattoo was not done by machine; I was a bit... a little... a lot... I was freaking out nervous. But once the stencil was on and the arrangement was sorted, my worries subsided and things got permanent.
Important lesson to note: when having a tattoo done on your stomach/hip do NOT laugh. Laughing pulls the muscles in your abdomen which can in turn cause the tattoo machine to jump placing ink in areas that it is NOT supposed to be. Luckily we were doing some shading on the flowers and this little laughing blip was easily covered up.
I'm really happy with it. He did an amazing job.
Only trouble is I'm a little bit sore
But now my Thai tiger is no longer lonely, she's added a bit of Korean to the streak. ^^
