Ahhhh the shop had a same-day appointment available so I'm gonna get a tattoo today!
I got the thing!! Pictures coming when the dressing comes off.
@starkatt Aaaa!! Where did you go? And what didja get? I'm overdue for mine.
@mawr Got a cute li'l necker cube on my hip, from Battershell at True Love tattoo. I was gonna name them when I showed the pics, but since you asked :)
@starkatt Aww!! That's awesome :D :D :D
I need to get a design decided on for mine. I'm afraid of walking into a tattoo shop and being all "Hey I have an idea but no idea how to execute it, can you sit with me and art for like an hour and then permanently mark the end result on me?" The fear is unreasonable but I can't make it go away. XD
@mawr Also from what I understand artists are super happy to let you just come in and browse portfolios. Most have a decent amount of their art online too.
@starkatt Yeah!! I'm totally good with browsing, just uh, going from that to actually talking art is for some reason a thing that makes me hella anxious. ^^;;;;
@mawr Yeah, I totally get that. I get all... blushy and self-conscious. I imagine they're fairly used to that though?
@starkatt Probably! I dunno. Like I said, it's not rational. ^^;
@mawr That's totally a thing artists do, though. You'll definitely pay for the design time but that's like... the cool part of the job, from what I understand?
