Hi there!
First of all, I'd like to extend a big thank you to this community. I'm a long time lurker that finally pulled the trigger and got my first tattoo about a month back. It would most likely not had gone as smooth as it did if it wasn't for all the feedback and tips that is posted on this forum on a daily basis. So again, thank you kindly.
I thought I'd summarize by posting 3 pictures of my experience below. The first two pictures were taken after I removed the dermalize film (Seriously, how awersome is this stuff?) that was protecting it, which was about 3-4 days afterwards. The third and last picture was taken little over a month after the final session.
Session 1:
Session 2:
Final session - 1 month healed:
I struggled a little with the lighting when I tried to take the pictures, but I'm sure you can all relate to that.
The whole thing took about 10,5 hours and I felt very well taken care of. It was supposed to be only two sessions but I had to cut the second session short due to an unforeseen circumstance. He told me it was no big deal and that I could come back 3 days later to wrap up the last hour of work.
I am super happy with the final outcome. I've already made another appointment for September as I intend for this to be a full sleeve when it's all said and done. The waiting is definitely the worst, I'm completely hooked. :P
Thanks for reading! Feel free to speak your mind about what you think of it.
