Here are a few shots of the latest work. It's been a month since I was last tattooed and I'm still not fully healed! Yes, my healing time is a little slower these days, but I think the main issue this time is the area in question is constantly rubbing against my jeans and being irritated. If I had to do it over, I would have worn a bandage for a few days. That or not wear pants for a week - although, that tactic may not go over well with my neighbors. ;)
Is it strange that I'm often unable to answer questions regarding the details of my tattoo? If someone asks me, "What exactly is tattooed on your left thigh?", I usually can't remember. I guess it's because I don't spend a whole lot of time looking at it, and I didn't really participate in the design process other than in the broadest sense (along the lines of "Yup, more koi and maple leaves sounds good.")
Question of the week, from random guy at the beach:
"Yo! Yo! Yooooo! How much that tattoo cost?"
"A lot"
"Yeah, but how much?!"
"A lot"
Gotta love the classy folks at Coney Island.
Next session: will the background be completed? Could happen, we're pretty damn close.
