After nearly 6 yrs of not having money, well... not having money that wasn't used on my boas, to finish my Tattoo... I am finally getting work done on it again!

Actually, before we get to that part, the money aspect is a great story in itself! When the original artist (a friend) was working on the original outline, I was working in a Mill and I would set aside $100 or so from each check for him. When it came time for the third session he vanished, after not hearing from him for several weeks, I spontaneously bought my first boa (still have her). While researching proper care online, I saw my first Sunglow. At the time they were around $2,500 ea. From then on I was hooked. I now have two of my own! The truth is, my unfinished Tat led me into the world of boas!

So back to the main storyline again, I finally had an opportunity to take advantage of a Promo here and the guy did a great job trying to make sense of the outline I had without my original art, or the altered version that the first artist created and used! Not done yet, but definitely 100% better... and it may not be a boa... but its kinda reptilian!

And to keep on topic, here is my first ovulation of the season... she has already had her Post OV shed now too...

That's the gal that produced this little gem last season with the same male...

Ya, it definitely caught my eye that day when I walked by the cage, you'd think I'd have to be blind to miss it! I hope she pops a few more out like the lil gal below her for sure... I've got my fingers crossed!

That's looking really Kool very beautiful work Steph.
I don't have any tatoos but some are very interesting
nice art work.

The only tat I ever considered was a big green Shamrock on the
right side of my neck

I had a long term stick on that I wore to see
if I might like to keep it permanently.

It drew attention from the right people ( a few pretty Fems )
but I never got the permanent version , LOL

Steph Yours is really nice

Thanks for the compliment!

I was so excited to finally get some work done on it I could cry out of sheer happiness, but the 7 hr session was tough on me though! It was a promo deal, $300 all you can take during business hours and I had to get my moneys worth! LOL! Now I just need to keep with it!

I think that tat you were thinking on would have been pretty neat, don't think I've ever seen a shamrock on the neck (not yet anyway). Too bad about the fem attention, but if they are only after your shamrock you probably don't want their permanent vision anyway! LOL! You know, I almost turned that into a 'They're after your lucky charms' joke, but thought that would be too tacky of me!

Yeah, the spine was... very interesting to say the least! I could feel my whole chest vibrating during certain areas of the session. One of the parts I am least looking forward to, is when we get to the dragons arms, both wrap around my sides and one is higher up, digging into my left breast a bit... it wasn't the bust area that hurt when I got the original outline either, it was where it got closest to my armpit. I may tear up a bit when I get to that one!

Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the comment!

It was a long session and the guy was pretty good, my coworkers (no tattoos) were surprised he didn't get more done in 7hrs... kind of hard to explain to them that he actually did quite a bit!

Eric

Thanks a ton!

I hope it does, turning out better than I could have hoped considering what the guy had to work with from before! If nobody minds, perhaps I'll post a finished photo later?

Thanks for the boa compliments too! I love my brood, they're what's kept me from getting my tattoo this long! LOL! Boas, they are an addiction...

Thats some massive art! lv the story..!
good things come to those that wait it out.
thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I love to tell that story to my friends... of course, they think I am a little nutty because they are not big reptile fanatics, but are amused just the same. I am definitely grateful, I would not have it any other way... However, I am glad to finally be getting around to the ink again!

Honesty is the only route to TRUE respect, anything else is unacceptable....

Thanks! I can't wait to get it done... the tail is supposed to continue past my hip and around my thigh. Someday I'll be finished and celebrate!
Yeah, that lil hypo is my pride and joy, mostly because she is something that a breeding of mine created and because she looks pretty special! Hope to prove her out as a het albino in the distant future...
