Tattoo Adventure The [Almost] Final Product & A Small Update

Sooo, I know its late, but I figure better late then never. The Artist that did my redo was really cool, I think her name is Amanda, I went to this shop on Bloor West in Toronto called Tat-A-Rama. In total the whole thing probably took 45 mins or so and costed $140.00 CAD. Honestly aside from getting these touched up (which I was told will have to be done because of their location) I doubt I'll be getting any tattoos any time in the near future. It hurts like a bitch, serious. The whole time I was getting tattooed my legs were uncontrollably twitching lol.

Right now I'm still in the scabbing process, when everything is fully healed (before my first touch up) I'll take a photo and I'll be sure to keep you all posted. Overall I'm quite happy with what I've got so far. I really prefer these over the diamonds I previously had. At first I wanted the tattoos to be all purple, but I was told by the artist that it just wouldn't look right because you'd still be able to see the diamond underneath the purple, which is why we opted for black in the center fading out to purple.

Now, for the update. Look, I'm sorry I was gone for that little while. I know it wasn't long but still. I feel bad. The thing is, I'm swamped, between going to concerts and being on a massive job hunt I've got no time and the time I do have is mostly spent sleeping lol. Right now I'm hoping and praying that I get a call back from LUSH. Not only for the discount (which is like 50% off!) but because I think it would be a rad place to work. Also I've been bogged down because of this damn Canadian postal strike (which is now over THANK GOD!) I'm expecting a few more packages to come in so you can expect a ton of swatches reviews and etc.

Thanks Guys! You're the best

Tattoo Adventure.. Re Do's & So On

So about two years ago, I got my first tattoo. I thought it was rad as hell. Something unique, that no one else I knew had. Diamonds baby - on my feet. They were cool at first. It's such a shame though, they were done SO BAD like, ok before these I'd never had a tattoo in my life I was a newbie, and in the world of tattoos I still am. The artist that did them neglected to tell me that the spot I chose for them sucked (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see the photos) Anyways long story short - they are horrid and I'm not digging them any more and in my boyfriend's words they are "so trashy" but he still loves me to pieces regardless of how heinous they are. We both agreed, I must do away with them! I don't mind covering them up with something new because I have no personal connection to them.

SO I did a little research and found a great little place on Bloor Street West in Toronto called Tat-A-Rama. The place has been around since '83 and a lot of the great tattoo artists in Toronto worked there at some point. I went in there and the guy at the desk gave my tattoos a look over and gave me the scoop on how much of an issue it could be to cover them up. He walked into the back of the shop and talked to a few people there, he came back up and told me to wait a few minutes because they had to have a "meeting" about my tattoos.

This other guy came up and took a look at them and told me how poorly they are placed and that he's not surprised they are the way that they are. He then asked what I'd like to cover them with. I told him (I'm not tell you guys yet.. It's a surprise haha) and he said that it can be done but it will probably require me to come back in the future for a few touch-ups. I booked an appointment so in two weeks the journey of my new tattoos will begin!

This is what I've got going on now. Please don't judge me!

Stay tuned for my new tattoos!


...I'm excited! =)
