aome asked for a tattoo update the other day, and while I could have sworn I did an update a little while ago, I couldn't find it.

Turns out, I had, but put it into a 'Drafts' folder!

As I got the tattoo done, my pain threshold for the tattooing process grew increasingly less. First time, it was a bit annoying for the first hour, then slowly became painful. By the last time, it was painful within a few minutes - luckily that session was only an hour.

Final touch-up session: - April 2023:

I need to get someone to take a good photo in better light - like the one on the beach.

I'll admit I usually forget that I have the tattoo; it's somewhere that I never see, unless I'm looking over my shoulder in a mirror. It's nicely dramatic, and when people spot it (what they can of it), they're usually pretty admiring.

I need to get some 'over-the-shoulder' sports bras that display the tattoo rather than my usual 'crossover back strap' sports bras which tend to cover up the dragon's head. I mean, if I have it, I might as well flaunt it!

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous! And yes, you should flaunt it! Maybe a couple of backless/low-backed dresses, too!

It's glorious. I second the recommendation for some low-backed dresses too.
