YAY!!! Tattoos! Photos of tattoos! WHOOHOOOO!!!

This is AWESOME! :-D They are gorgeous!!! It took from 11:30am to 14:30pm approximatily to make the new tattoo of Scrooge McDuck and to do a touch up off my beloved first tattoo, my dear wolf. :-) The tattoo-artist was brilliant, I tell you. Bloody brilliant. I am pleased as punch. :-) My guests for tonight hasn't arrived yet, so I have time to make this post first. :-D

Lets start with my old tattoos, since I know I have some new people here reading that might not have seen them. And these are new photos of them as well, that peting73 took with his awesome camera yesterday. :-)


First one I made. When I was 19 years old, to celebrate taking my drivers licence. My beloved wolf that was in dire need off some lovin' as you can see. The colours are horrible faded. Tattoo-artist was Martin at Tattoo-Martin.(Click for bigger.)


Second one I made, my viking/celtic bracelet. Yes, it goes all the way around, under the arm as well. Painful under the arm, take my word for it. Still holding up pretty well, I'd say. I was about 21 or 22 years old when I made this, I think. Tatoo-artist was Nicke at Tattoo-Martin.(Click for bigger.)


Third one I made. An image of Cutter from the graphic novel series, Elfquest. I really love this one. :-) The swirling mist was done free handed by the tattoo-artist. Looks gorgeous. I was about 24 or 25 when I made this. The tattoo-artist was Helenius at Helenius Tattoos. (Click for bigger.)


Fourth one I did. Yeah... Thats Xena's weapons. ;-) Chakram and two swords. I love it. Same thing here, the tattoo-artist did the swirling mist totally free handed. :-) I was about 27 or 28 when I made this. Tattoo-artist was Jörgen at Pistolero Tattoo.

Now for the tattoos of today! :-D The tattoo-artist was Jörgen at Pistolero Tattoo. Same one who did the Xenas weapons tattoo. :-) I had such a good experience with him the last time I was there, so the decision to go to him again, was not hard. ;-)


We started out with Scrooge McDuck! :-D This is very much a symbol of my childhood, since I have loved reading about them Disney ducks since I was a wee little girl. And I have had a subscription off the Donald Duck & Co comic since I was 6 years old. Haven't thrown a comic away since. Original artist is the amazing Don Rosa. :-D Ain't he cute! *loves on the grumpy gold-digger* Maybe he'll give me economical luck to... Who knows? X-D


Then we went on to take care of my beloved wolf in need of lovin'. And did he ever... First reaction to my dear wolf from Jörgen was that it was badly made. Something I have never thought about. The motive he liked, but being a tattoo-artist himself, he could see that technically it wasn't that well made. I told him who made it, prompting the reaction that yeah... Tattoo-Martin can do wondrous work. At times. Just not every time. And now a days, he mostly drinks... Sad news. I liked him back then. Anyway. Once he had filled in the old tattoo, I told him to do something more. I didn't care much what. After some thinking he made that misty pawprint with the mist going around the whole wolf. As before, he did this fully free handed. I think it looks damn epic. :-D

I couldn't be more pleased with my tattoos. :-D I am so going back to Jörgen at Pistolero Tattoo again if I want something more done. Chances are that I will. Give me a year or two. I love tattoos. It is so, so beautiful. :-D

I've wanted to get celtic done on me.. wanted it near where I have my clovers - and I want to get my clovers fixed. +sigh+ Damn stretchmarks. I'm irish - so it makes sense. lol.

Ohh, lovely tattoos! And I love what you had done to the wolf. Very nice rework on that.

My ex got a band around her arm, too, and said the only place it really hurt was right underneath. I didn't even want to try it after that. I think I'm too wussy. lol
