I just couldn't wait for Thursday! I was so happy with the way it turned out. Tribal, but more 'girly' with the dots and stuff. She also made the elephant look a little more realistic, which works well. It hurt like hell... Dean-a, the tattooist, describes herself as a perfectionist. I was there at 6:30 and she estimated two hours. I didn't get home until almost 11:00. Next time around, I will definitely do the outline and fill in on two seperate days. As much as I was hating it last night, it is over now and done.
I have two more tattoos that I want done. I want to add some tribal designs to my left arm to tie in the heart and armband. I also want a large piece on my back that will go over my right shoulder.
ooooooooouuuuuucheeeeee! It looks great! You are now officially elephant crazy!

Fantastic design! Well done! A nice double entendre. A beautiful design to the casual observer; hidden imagery to those of keen eye and sharp mind.
