Yeah, theres some scaring. And it didn’t scab too bad, but it did scab. And since starting with the lubriderm, it’s gotten SOO much better. The lotion I was using before just wasn’t cutting it. And I got it done by Mike Olson at Mark of the Vampire in Burien. He did my first one and it turned out awesome. I’ve been on beta blockers for migraines and I feel like that might have something to do with the way my arm healed, but I’m not sure. When I was getting it done, Mike even asked me if I had been drinking because of the amount I was bleeding, but I hadn’t been. So… I dunno.

Oh okay super! I’ll just ask if he could draw something up or whatever. Thanks for all the help

I seriously had no idea that even existed. Is this something a tattoo artist would do or something?

Thanks guys! I really do want to add something, I think it looks pretty plain myself and the idea of filagree has come up, but i didn’t know what that was exactly or how it would be designed, or really what the options were for it. I don’t really know if I particularly like the idea of leaves or anything, but what other options are there besides leaves and filagree? I got the tattoo for my Grandmother who passed away March of 2008, 9 days before my birthday (hence the 9 flowers) and they’re purple because it was her absolutely favorite color, and they’re orchids because I wanted to tie in her love for flowers with my favorite flower to kind of unite her and I on my arm… as weird as that sounds… I really don’t want to add words or anything or even a date, I solely want it to be art and have everything involving it represent something.
I work for Safeway and that’s why I’m not too keen on the idea of it taking up a whole lot more of my arm then it already is. My current managers are pretty lenient about it but I have no idea about the future. Any other options that you guys can think of on what to incorporate into it? I just need ideas to expand what I’m already thinking of cause I’m just stuck.
Thank you so much 🙂
