I went on Tuesday with the knowledge that I could back out because this was technically a " consultation" appointment. The next thing I know, I'm up on a chair, one that looks like an old dental chair, with my ass/back facing the guy and I'm hugging my knees!! The guy is Jason Riedel and he's been tattooing for 10 years and I know this is only my first tatto, but I think he was great! I got there early, to get a feel for things and, as anyone who knows me, I'm early for EVERYTHING!!! His assistant was very nice and explained everything to me. She was right, it's not a pain you're used to. I wouldn't even describe it as a pain--I felt like it was a burning sensation, a warmth that washes over you. There were moments where it was a bit sore but nothing like I'd imagined. Jason was great, he kept me talking which kept me calm and before I knew it, it was done. The tattoo isn't big, it only took him 20-30 minutes to do. What amazed me was that he drew it on me, no stencils. So I asked him about that. Guess what? He free hands everything! The pictures up in his shop of the tattoos he's done are a true testiment to his talent. His website doesn't do him justice. Check it out anyway.

When I left, all I could think about was what my next one is going to be!

um...hello? what did you GET?!
It's a bit hard to describe so here it goes.....it's a zodiac symbol for gemini with 2 dots on either side and one on top--those are to represent my 2 kids and Chris.
Post a pic, I'd love to see it. Congrats on the first tat, they're totally addictive, the only thing stopping me from getting more is the lack of funds at the moment.
sweet!! i love it when people get inked! (what a nutter eh! lol) I would love to see pics too! Please post!
I can't!! My computer won't recognize my camera's software BUT I'm going to try and add it to a cd and see if I can download it that way. This could take a while......
