My journey into body mod: PT 3 Body art

Well everyone I have a surprise for you both of which came back to back and both of which I am in love with and very proud of. As of NOV. 5 I had gotten my first custom tattoo on my forearm. I was something I had come up with a few months prior and decided I was gonna let it sit on the shelf until I was ready, however I decided that since I wasn't getting any younger what was the reason for waiting this time around.
                                                       

Its kind of a bad picture and it wraps around but I figured it was a start until I can get more decent pictures of it. The custom piece is called "Daydream with me" and its written in greek in the cloud that surrounds her head. Then point of the art piece was that since people always say I have my head in the clouds that I should start there. The cloud turns into a rain cloud to symbolize how emotional I am, hence the Pisces symbol on her back. That also pays along with the puddle of water that she's sitting in and I guess you could say that the rest is history.

The piece was done at Emerald Tattoo the Elk Grove location and the credit goes to my artist Trevor, who spent three lovely hours on my piece to make sure the vision was realized. The experience wasn't too bad but I did find that it hurt exceptionally they had to constantly wipe the color away. It was extra sore in some spots but it didnt bleed like I thought it would so I guess you could say thats its kind of a relief. The process was pretty awesome and me and Trevor click very well

I have gotten 3 more since then (all by Trevor and I will put them up next Body Mod chronicle). My tattoo has since then healed and I will say the worst part of the process was keeping up with the ointment   and the peeling (flakes and more flakes everywhere, however I loved the look it was that of a snake). It didnt really itch like most people told me to expect it to so I guess I am grateful for that. I did have some inflammation in both of my forearm tattoos, not sure what made it happen but they are both back to normal, So it looks like I will keep an eye out for that overall its been about 5 months for this one and its still going strong and being at work all of the time keeps me out of the sun for the most part. 

Alright thats all I wanted to add I will keep you guys posted  :)
