Got me a believe tattoo on Saturday!!! I took two different pictures of Amy Brown fairies (she is my favorite artist of farires!) and had a friend of mine combine them and she came up with a cool fairy sitting on a believe sign. I love it! I have to say that it REALLY did hurt at times! I had a good friend of mine from work came to the house and did it. Have to say if I would have had to go to a tattoo palor I do not think I could have lasted for 2.5 hours! It was great though, cause I got it on my ankle; so I laid on my recliner chair and watched the Cher video dvd...than of course Matt had to put in the Cyndi dvd when Cher was over. That made it really hard for amy to work..cause she LOVES cyndi!
The first day it did not bother me but the second day it turned pretty red and was real sore. Today I stayed home and am keeping it up and antibotic on it. It looks a lot better than yesterday. No one tells ya about the soreness and scabing after. LOL!
Don't know how Cher did so much on her butt and on some of the other places. It hurt the worst on the banner, which is down by my ankle more. Every time I would say oh, that hurts she"d say...Dee I'm doing that banner again. Have to say that I am pretty proud of myself...it took 2.5 hours to do....and I HATE NEEDLES SOOOO BAD! I usually pass out when they draw blood!
The wings are a little darker than I had planned but not sure if she did that because of fading or what. I love the believe banner though, it is my favorite part! The fairy is nice too....matt said it looks like him...don't see it! LOL! Will try to have Nick take a picture and send it over when it heals a little more.
Thanks for letting me ramble! Just had to "Cher"

Jan, I haven't heard back from Sherry (my friend) about the picture. I have to call her about the convention anyway...so today I will try and reach her...hoping she and Karin can go to the convention...think he would love it!
Lisa, Di...I thought about doing a bubble fairy (Amy draws fariries that ride on bubbles) and putting that symbol in the inside of the bubble! Thought that would rock! My tattoo buddy Amy said I could go for that one next on my shoulder! Not sure if that will ever happen! The ankle did hurt especially down by the bone...I have a high tolence to pain...cause I am allergic to most of the pain medications...but I heard the shoulder blade hurts too. So guess it is like child birth, horrible pain but soon you forget and want another one! LOL! It is doing so much better now, guess I irrated it too much by washing it tooo much, and that is why it was so sore.

OOOOOOPS!!!!!!!!!!  I just found this thread about your tattoo, Dee!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amy Brown fairies!!!!!! I found her 2006 Calendar at Foxwoods in November. Got a bunch of the embroidered patches on eBay - they look good on jeans! Kinda personalizes them, no one else has the same as you're wearing, ya know? Which fairy did you have done? I also love Nene Thomas fairies - I have a couple of decals on my bathroom mirrors! Got decals on my car windows, patches on my jeans!!!!! I'm looking at a Nene Thomas Butterfly with tribal design for my lower back. And I like another design of hers that I'd put on my upper back. Looks sexy with a little tank top!!!  The one on my ankle didn't hurt much - and the design goes down to the bone. The INSIDE part doing the bracelet hurt more - it was annoying, I was glad when it was over. I love having a tattoo - I don't give a rat's a$$ what anyone thinks - I have friends that absolutely HATE tattoos & wonder why I'm doing it. CUZ I CAN - IT'S MY BODY!!!!!!!!!! #rofl5# Looking forward to seeing a pic of your ankle tattoo!!!! xxY |

Only one picture of the tattoo so far.. and it isn't really very good. As I wrote in another thread...Amy (my tattooist) wants to touch up the face a bit...make the detail stand out a bit more...and she wants to wait for a picture. I will probably have Nick take one and load it on here for you all.
Yvette, Doesn't Amy Brown rock!!! I have her 2006 calendar also and I have a night shirt with the believe fairy on it. I have a few of her "fake" tattoos and I love them too....they last for a LONG TIME TOO! I love the idea of the patches on your jeans, that is so awesome! Their are sooo many of her fairies that I love, I did the believe banner but I changed the fairy to the naughty fairy sitting on top. I really want to do another one with flowers this time, and perhaps the cher symbol in it somehow on my right shoulder.
Never heard of Nene Thomas...will have to check him/her out. Can relate with you in the can't wait until the tattoo is over part...but yet, just like child birth, how easy it is to forget the pain, when you see the end product!

"Believe" It or not ....it is healing again, should be about done peeling soon. I had to have it touched up once again...we put a white wash on the face to highlight the fairies features a bit (white always fades out) but the white stayed real good on me so my fairy looked like she had on a mask....so we did the face and whole body in a flesh tone. I actually like the body colored in because it defines the arms and legs more. Plus she has on striped socks and we did the stripes in yellow and black. I really like it and will send the photos over to susan as soon as it heals a bit more and Nick gets some good ones.
Di, the small of your back is such a sexy area to get one but I hear it hurts like heck! I think I am a bit to old and big to have a tattoo there...but I love it on skinner people (no one is seeing that area on me!!!) Sounds like it is going to be a real nice tattoo...so go for it!!!
I love my buddy amy doing our tattoos cause she comes here and I can rest in my recliner chair, have a drink (not to many cause you bleed more) and watch Cher...what could be better. As a matter of fact we had a small tattoo party here last Friday with My son and some of his friends gettting tattoos after she touched up mine.
Yvette, how is your tattoo doing? Pictures?

Jan, talked with Sherry the other day and she never got a picture of the gift from Cher. Her son was so excited about it and she was in shock. She is unfortunately not going to be able to go to the convention but her and her family are going to the next retreat. Her son is soooo excited! Hopefully Cher will make this one and she can get a picture with her and her kids. She saids that the retreats are so special and the kids just have a ball...even her older girls enjoy it and find others to talk with.

Yep, the ONLY way to get a tattoo! I am such a chicken of needles that I do not think I could have done it in a tattoo palor with a stranger.
I am sooo envious Di, a believe pj with a fairy on the tank. We have a hot topic store near me...will def have to go and check it out. Maybe get one for myself and that can be my motavation for loosing weight...will have to fit into it before the years up!!! I LOVE Amy brown fairies...they are so cute! She did a new believe one that is soooo cute, maybe another tattoo coming!
