She's Been Inked! Part 2

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so here are two thousand...

Thank you to Rachel and Oral Fix for holding my hand during the outlining and shading sessions respectively. The moral support meant a lot to me and I really appreciate the two of you taking the time out to be there for it!

In case you all are wondering, hell YEAH it hurt! Especially over the hip bone. I was breathing hard trying to keep my cool and moaning involuntarily when Oral Fix quipped (much to the amusement of the tattoo artist who luckily has a steady hand), "If I were a lesbian, I would be so turned on right now!".

The head of the dragon was traced from a pattern but the body was sketched and shaded freehand. J is a real artist and a cutie to boot! I love the way the dragon looks and to me, it symbolizes power and strength. After what I've been through this year, I know I have a lot of both!

It doesn't mean that I don't feel pain though. In the cab on the way home, Oral Fix said to me, "Girl, your nostrils were so flared, you could have popped a baby out through them!". Hahaha, well I know that even though it hurt, I got past it. Yee haw!
