I’m outlined and stuff

Last night, Matthew and I went over to the Ink Spot to see what Erica Flannes had worked up for me. I’d given her concept art, but I am not so much of an artist, so I made sure to include photos, lest I end up with a gigantic vulva instead of an Iris. What she’d worked up made me teary-eyed. I knew she’d come up with something beautiful, but once it’d been realized, I was so emotional and overwrought.

About an hour later, I walked out with the beginnings of my birthday present!!Outline of tattoo - Erica Flannes at Ink Spot - Jackson, MS

(if you click the image, you’ll see a tagged version, which explains the flowers)

It’s done in a medium grey, so it won’t have garish outlines. I think we’re heading somewhere semi-realistic, which should just be AMAZING.

I’m going back next Friday, where we’ll be layin’ down some color!

    Can’t wait to see it when it gets closer to being a finished product! Very tasteful choice, by the way.

    EEEEEEEEEEEE!

    I saw the pic you sent me last night but this is so much more clear and AWESOME! Once the color is in, it’s going to be so vibrant and amazing.

    Just like you, loaf!

    That’s wonderful! I hope we win Very Fashionable so that I can see it in person, and that you enjoy the rest of it every bit as much as you’re enjoying the beginnings.
