Title: A symbol of my transition
Post by: Debra on June 12, 2011, 01:32:21 PM
Yesterday I went and got my first tattoo. It's a specialized and intricate butterfly with silhouttes of women in it. I thought it really fit.

I tried to think of some thing intelligent to say but all I could come up with is...
Ouch.
And that was said before.

Very pretty though  :)

Thanks =) It took 4.5 hours. Even still, it was much less pain than laser ;)

ooh nice! I was going to get a (much smaller) butterfly in the front, just below my pantyline to the side, but decided I had enough pain in that general area already lol

beautiful work Debra!

I agree.   Is tattooing really painful?

I third that motion!  ;D      Beautiful.  I don't fancy tatts on myself, but can appreciate them on others, especially when they are as individually artistic as that one.

Nice Tattoo Debra.  :)

Love the style of it.  I've been thinking about getting one too,
but I haven't found anyone around here yet that does quality work like that .  :)
