101 things 1001 days: #29 Get heart/pen tattoo

| by Bel | 11.19am NZ time |

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

  2. 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!
