Fixed and Permanent

IMG_5979 IMG_5959

After a couple years of contemplating and almost half a year of lemming over this idea(s) that I had of what I wanted as my first tattoo…I went ahead and did it with J! I also wanted it in a spot that would not be too conspicuous. We will soon be working on his which will be a lot more work as he will be adding to a pre-existing one that he already has (and got when we FIRST started dating)…he will most likely be going to New Tribe on Queen Street as well (Paul was my artist)…the experience was great, it was clean, professional and I felt really comfortable. I had heard from friends that it would feel like a bunch of rubber bands snapping at once, but to be honest- mine felt more like a fire sensation….not pleasant at all and poor J….his hand must have been black and blue towards the end…I am a sucker for pain!


Hope you all had a great weekend! =)

Marta from With Love... said...

CONGRATS!!!! wowza....that tattoo is awesome, so unique! Love it :)

Just curious, does it have anything to do with Moby's song "We are all made of stars"? Or is it based on the astronomy idea of we are made of "star stuff"(Carl Sagan)...us havering same elements as stars do (my AST101 speaking)?

Whether I am wrong or right, the tattoo is wicked! I am huge fan of tattoos...but not of needles :) You're a trooper!


Ahh...sorry, I just wrote yet another essay comment! :P

Ashleigh said...

Thanks for all your sweet comments!
and to Marta: yes, it has more to do with the latter- we as being made up of the same elements as stars (well heavier elements)..When a star dies, they say the elements are released and in a way , we are all made up of stars..nuclear physics..kind of a tribute to my science degree at UT and my mama because she always calls me her shining star...

Leah said...

ahhhhh!! i adore it! be careful it is addicting...i have 4, but theyre small and mostly hidden.

Ashleigh said...

anon 12:59- it took about 15-20 minutes to actually tattoo the image to my skin (took longer waiting for him to draw it up)

Leah- I know, Im already cooking up a new idea :s

I really love your tattoo!!!
perfect spot and size!
I was thinking about getting a quote one I just didn't know where-I think I might get it where you got yours.
Did it hurt that much?
