Congratulations, Sarge! I saw the pic of Julie with him.

I heard last week that our number four grandchild is on the way.

On Tuesday, Tattoos by KJ and I got together and did shading on my dragon and phoenix mastectomy tattoos. Pretty much immediately after, Krystin had a radio interview about P.ink Greater Seattle. The interview starts at about 30 minutes in and has a lot of good information for people not familiar with the organization.
...and my tattoo is very briefly mentioned.

If your on Facebook, you can listen to a recorded stream of it at:

If you're on Facebook or Twitter, and would like to see the progress on my tattoos so far, feel free to visit either or both of these links. Same photos on both, but be aware they are photos of my bare reconstructed breasts.

That's a bit more sharing than I expected, but I'm glad you're doing well.

First off, nice set!

The art is also great. Love the flow of the Phoenix.

The first artist did the treble clef backwards. It didn't register with me when he showed me the transfer pressing on my skin before starting the permanent inking because I was looking in a mirror. It wasn't until I got home and SD showed me a photo he took that it sunk in that the treble clef was backwards.

However, the main reason this is happening is because my current artist, the State Coordinator for P.Ink, is unhappy with the chest plate tattoo in general. It's beautiful work, but it doesn't do what the point of P.Ink is: cover my mastectomy scars. The chest plate doesn't cover any of the scars, whereas this new design covers most of them, including the stretch marks on the skin taken from my belly to do the reconstruction. When she offered to do what the organization has originally offered, I jumped at the chance.

I'm already much happier with this artwork, and it hasn't been colored yet.

I had wondered if the picture was just backwards, or you took it in a mirror. Anyway, I'm looking forward to sing it after the colors have been added!

My next session is probably a few months away. What was done needs to heal for a few weeks, and my artist is planning on going to warmer clines for the holidays through most likely Easter. But, I'll definitely share after the next session happens.

That implies I would actually read the post. That's just silly.

So, things didn't quiet down as much as I expected as quickly as I expected. :D Naturally more issues (mostly unrelated to our big project thankfully) arose, luckily mostly dealt with now. :D

Commiserations and congratulations to those who need the relevant... :D

I feel, like it's Monday. Luckily a very slow Monday because I can't be bothered to do anything. :D Big in-person meeting / baby shower for a colleague tomorrow, so no doubt will be lumbered with stuff to do. :D
