This, my fourth tattoo, was done by Capilli at Sacred Tattoo in Auckland:
My attempt at taking a photo of my own back, which doesn't show the new tattoo at all:
A slightly more helpful photo, also showing part of my swallows and banner tattoo done by Jane at Chapel Tattoo in Melbourne:
Here is the design in its original incarnation:
It is based on a traditional Mexican fortune telling card, and the Bic biro.
Completed on July 2nd, with 898 days left of my Day Zero Project!
Love it!! A true one-of-a-kind... but didn't it fuuuuucken hurt?? It's on your SPINE!
He was suuuuuuper quick. 20 mins on the outline, 20 mins on shading. The first few minutes were aaaawwwful and I had to work very hard not to flinch each time the gun touched my skin, but after a while you just sort of settle into it. I find yoga breathing is incredibly helpful!
