Today one of my regulars came in and stopped for a flirt. I mentioned a text I had gotten about a fourth of July party at the tattoo studio. He took out his phone and confirmed that there would be a party. He has a piece across his entire chest that is in progress.
While standing in front of me, he made an apointment for tomorrow to get some work done on it.
I got off work and went out to check out the party. Cute young blondes with brand new back pieces and hip pieces were running around showing off the fact that they don't wear underwear and yes, they DO shave that kitty.
I had the Inkslinger walk me to my car so I could chat without an audience.
I asked if he could get me in to work on my leg. He said no, he was WAY too busy with the contest pieces he's doing for nationals to do anything else but those until after the fourteenth. Lie number...oh I've lost count.
I told him "Look. If you don't want to make time for me, you need to just get some balls and say so. I need to be looking for someone else."
"Oh no! Don't you dare. You let anyone else touch it I will never speak to you again!"
"You don't speak to me now! I have been waiting a really long time and I'm losing my patience."
So he makes some placating noises and then runs away back inside to his little fake tan blondes.
As I'm turning to get in my car I shake my head with absolute certainty. This is the last time I will see this tattoo shop.
I'm tempted to leave this tattoo as it is for one very good reason. Every single time I want to wear a dress or skirt or shorts, I get reminded that the sort of men who find me remotely interesting are liars. Trusting them is stupid. I'm better off alone.
The page you were looking for no longer exists

hhmmm... is it really bad for you to look for another tattoo shop? -

You need to move on. The little boy has no intention of finishing it. You know it and I know it. No matter what he says, its a lie.He's already proven untrustworthy time and again. You need to move along and find someone else. -

Finding an artist that can work in the same style as that which is already begun on my leg will be difficult. The work IS quality, just not complete. PLUS. I don't really have the five thousand they will charge me for it. A full leg sleeve is pricey. -

Ouch. He is living up to his reputation it seems. That's sad. -

Good tattoo artists are not a dime a dozen..I had someone who was suppose to be "great"fuck up a flower chain on my bride's upper arm.It took us 6 months to find someone you could fixit without looking like a hack job..You just can't erase bad work...Steve -

How many more sessions would it take to finish it, you think? It's too bad you're all the way down in TX. I'm currently entertaining the idea of opening some kind of business for myself, and a tattoo parlor was one of the ideas. -

With my pain tolerance, If I could get someone who can go that long at a time, I figured six sessions of six hours each. Maybe more when it comes to my hip and backside for the wings. Those areas have always been sensitive. -
GrapeKoolaid said on Jul 05, 2007....
How many colours? A six-hour session is a long one, let alone six of them. You must have a pretty high threshold for pain. The tat's gotta be huge! One leg sleeved? You're a total bad ass. I mean, I already knew you were a bad ass, but to what extent? You impress me yet again, LadyG.
Hats off to you.
Grape.

The cliff and castle (which I am told looks like the disney dream castle) will be black and white (the white being my flesh). The only color will be the body of the dream dragon wrapped around the whole. It will take a very very good artist to get the dragon right as dream dragons have an irridescent quality.
The tail of the dragon wraps around the back of my calf, accenting the rather athletic bulge of solid muscle. The outline shows the design was laid to accent the curves of my body.
The artist is just not even a fraction as lovely(on the inside) as his skill.
And thank you oh Purply One for that high praise. -

Yes, Dears. I HAVE learned my lesson in that regard. -
