Had my first session of my first tattoo today…

[Flamencology]

I’d been curious for a long time, but also thought that I’d probably never actually pull the trigger. But here we are with a half sleeve. Bucket list kinda thing, maybe?

I surprisingly really enjoyed it, and am I eager for the next session.

I can’t see myself wanting more, but… it’s hard to tell what kind of things that get a little addictive.

Here’s the initial artwork. Will show as thing progress as wrap comes off.

It's an homage to the Decemberists' "Mariner's Revenge Song."

Congrats! Happy Ink Day!

Never saw the fascination and so am inkless though I have some nice scars I like the artwork. A good tattooist is an artist.

Besides my wife says only criminals have tattoos so, welcome to the dark underbelly of society Flame

I glad to see you commit your love of Mastodon's Leviathan album as a permanent tribute.

Are you keeping it black & white or adding color?

My son and I have idly discussed getting matching tattoos:
