    Looks awesome.

    Glad you didn't go with the original inch diameter aren't you??

    From what I hear, people with spiderweb tattoos are like the coolest people ever.

    Very nice, and discreet. A potent mix: the beauty, naturalness and simplicity of the poppy flower(but with its evil potential) combined with the deadly menace and intricacy of the spiders web.

    Its very alluring and erotically irresistible: I feel like getting down on my knees and giving it a little kiss.

    Lately I've had an insane idea to get a tattoo of the tetragrammaton across my heart? Warped huh.

    The tetragrammaton - all of it! LMAO! Lets be warped together! Its weird this morning the tattoo seems to have shrunk - it looks smaller than it did yesterday - but I think that is because the swelling has gone down. Richie or anyone who knows - when does it scab over? Nothng seems to be happening yet - I mean there was barely a drop of blood. Could this because I was on some kind of higher plain of peace - I felt my heart pulse while it was happening and it was soooo slow....

    The needle only goes 1/16th of an inch ( ~ 1 mm) deep in the skin, so it doesn't bleed like a razor slash or anything, but as the artist wipes away the ink left on the surface of the skin, he wipes away the little bit of blood. He didn't have to shade that much on you, so not that much skin was torn up with the shading needle, hence not so much blood.

    And yes, the lack of bleeding can have something to do with your heart rate.

    Expect the entire tattoo to harden up, like a scab, in the next 48 hours.

    Make sure you follow your artist's aftercare instructions!!

    Richie the instructions were after washing it yesterday don't get it wet for two weeks, or if I do to coat with vaseline first and avoid getting any chemical components such as shower gel on it. No swimming, soaking, baths. Massage savlon in twice a day. Does that sound right? Anything missing?
