Arm Pits...

[danithegirl]

Okay - so I am moments away from getting my arm pits tattooed...

Well not moments - a couple weeks away.

And I am absolutely petrified! lalalalala! I'm going the distance and doing it no matter what. Even if the outline and shading is sooo horrendously painful that I can only get the outlines done on my first attempt.

Now now, I know that it will be a pain to keep the color in and that I'll have to man up several times after completing them so I can get touch-ups.

So...anyone got their armpits done and want to tell me how it was easy as cake? If you have horror stories - please lie to me and tell me how fabulous it felt.

I need armpit support!

ummmmmmmm..... your pits will be pretty.......yea thats it .......... um sorry i can't e any more help than that . but as long as its what your want then its worth it .

It is what I want - they will make me giggle every time I look at them well after it heals that is.

I know healing is going to be a super b1tc4 and looking at them while they are healing will probably make me cry a little.

i have one side done about half way in........definitely doable...as long as you do one at a time.....

[danithegirl]

Nope, they are matching. So I'll get them both outlined and shaded on the first go round - maybe more if I'm up to it - but I highly doubt I'll be able to hang for getting them both completely done!

I don't have my pits inked, but my right pit is very close to being "it". My sleeve wraps around and comes as close as you can get to the pit without being in there.

Believe it or not, it was painless (I know, I couldn't believe it either). One thing I would suggest is using Nair or something like it before hand. You don't want ingrown hairs in your pits.

Also, be careful how you sleep the first night or two. You don't want to areas of healing skin to touch one another for long periods of time. If they do, there is a chance the skin will start healing together and that will be no fun when you go to stretch in the morning.

who is doing em dani?

[danithegirl]

My friend Paul. I have to stay local on this one.

He is the last person in my Top whatever.

He just recently started working with Ryan Hadley in Fort Wayne.

I'm interested to hear how this goes as my next session I want the knotwork and antiqued stone look to be connected up front and back and he didnt do it the first time because it goes into the pit, but it bugs me to look at it and see the gap when I raise my arm; so I'm going to deal with it to have it look the way I want.
Please keep posting about how it goes.
