Why this design?

I always wanted a tribal design and the roses are for each member of my family.

A friend designed the rest of it and I think it goes well together.

There’s still lots more to do on it so it won't look like just one design when it's finished.

How much did it cost?

It had to get re done a few times so in total it's probably about £450 so far – yikes.

Did it hurt?

It hurt quite a lot at the top of my shoulder and by my arm pit.

Everywhere else was ok.

It felt like a really sharp scratch all over but sometimes was just a tingling sensation.

What did your friends say?

I think they think it's pretty cool but I haven't spoke to them much about it.

Have you got any more?

No more just yet, I still have lots of work to do on this one first, but if I was going to get one somewhere else it would probably be on my ribs or wrist.
