Getting Ink'd



Todays post will be a short one as, after todays activity, I just feel like kicking back a bit. After a couple of years of planning and then waiting till baby was seven months old and my body has sprung back to some semblance of normality, I had my first ink session with my tattoo artist today. Rob Abell at Dynamic Tattoo in Richmond, Melbourne; is the talented individual creating this masterpiece. As you can see, I had an older (teenage years) tattoo to cover up too. Pretty good for three hours work. Now I have a two week window of healing before we can add the colour. I can't wait to see the final product!

I feel exhilarated just looking at the outline! I can't wait to see it once rendered. What a spectacular, expressive and bold way to claim your body back after going through the metamorphosis of two child births. You are looking great, emerging from your chyrsalis to become a colourful butterfly! Rock on Super Kawaii Mamaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Liz xo

Thanks guys! I am so pleased with the work and can't wait to see the finished colour either. Actually it only really hurt in a few places, it wasn't too bad overall.`

Good luck with that!
