Kris 0 #1 April 25, 2003 Okay, so I go to San Antonio on business and since I'm coming into town, who do I call for some nig-noggery? Jessica, of course! During our call I mention that I had always wanted a tattoo but never got around to it. After much grumbling from the other side I gave it some more thought over the next few days. See...the issue was that I knew I wanted one, I just needed the right design. Then it hit me! It was perfect, but could it be drawn... So, I basically checked every review of every tat shop I could find in SA and ended up at Dandyland Tattoo last Saturday to meet with an artist and discuss the design. There, I met Brandi. 85 pounds soaking wet and one of the coolest women a guy could meet. She assured me she could pull it off and set my appointment for 1:30 on Wednesday (yesterday). So, with Jessica in tow, I headed to the shop for my first tattoo. This place is really nice and the staff put me at ease pretty quickly. I met with Brandi and she showed me what she had come up with. It was perfect! She gave me the price, I paid, and back we went. Brandi gave me the tour of her area, showed me the equipment she would be using, that it was one-time-use sterilized by autoclave...etc. So, she starts. I'm not going to lie, the shading wasn't bad, the outline on the other hand...well, that fucking hurt. I thought the outside of my calf would be nice & fleshy...apparently, not fleshy enough. I never looked to see how she was doing, I waited until she announced it complete. Wow...I was impressed. Now, here it is!

Kris 0 #4 April 25, 2003 Quote So why does that canopy have 10 cells? Haven't been counting long, have we? Count again. It's the same color pattern that I have on my Stiletto. I was very clear on that part when I had it designed. KrisSky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #5 April 25, 2003 That's a PHAT TAT, my friend. And while I was waiting for Kris to get inked, I had the piercer fondle my tongue to put some jewelry back in there, ordered a pizza (no shit!) and did some work.

Kris 0 #15 April 25, 2003 Quote Quote Where is the peace sign? It's behind Calvin & Hobbes No, I was originally going to have them in a two-stack with Hobbes flashing the peace sign. That's the Kanjii for "Tranquility".

jmpnkramer 0 #24 April 25, 2003 Hey there Little woman. Did you think sticking needles in your body tickled. Seriously depending on where you get it depends on how much it will hurt. A boobie will hurt real bad. A better person to ask would be Chuck though. Then again he has learned t o ignore pain as I have so who knows. Anyway Watcha getting? Is it going to have Blue in it?
