So I went and got my 2nd tattoo yesterday. I ended up going to Planet Ink off of 41, and they did a terrific job. The environment was awesome, very high quality and DAMN clean. Heh, I was a little paranoid so I asked to watch him open all the tools (brand new needles and what not). Cam, the artist, was really cool about the tat and all, he was extremely dedicated to getting it exactly the way I wanted. I ended up calling up a friend to come in and draw the tat the way I wanted. My friend probably drew about 5-6 copies trying to get everything just right for the template. It turned out better than what I had expected, and I'm very satisfied with it. The only reason my friend ended up drawing the tat for me was because him and I are on the same level, as in we see alot of things the same way, so when I was explaining it to him it was a lot easier to get the idea accross. Props to the guys at Planet Ink, I would definately recommend going there for your tats. Well enough talk, on to the pics.

When he started, fuck the beginning hurt because he started right on the bone. :cry:, but I sucked that shit up and took it like a soldier, lol.

Here he was a little more than half-way. Wasn't so bad here, mostly just felt the vibration and a little pain.

A little more than half-way, taking a quick break here. You can see some of where the stencil was in, and how he was getting it done. Looking real good! :goodjob:

Alright, here he was finished with the outline, and I was sorta thirsty so we took another quick break.

And.....
Here we have the finished product, the fade will be alot more gradual after it finishes healing up and what not, the blood and stuff sorta screws up the fade, but I'll post pics of the final outcome.

I am completely satisfied with the results, and I'm sure I'll be satisfied even further down the line, just like I was with my first tat. Once again, props to Planet Ink, and the cool as guys I met there: Cam, EJ, and Jacob, and shout outs to my friend who helped me get my idea onto paper, Steven aka Tranceparadox.
