Oh my word but that hurt. I was all excited and a little nervous but I totally underestimated the pain. Our feet are bony with loads of nerve endings on the top and it really was super painful. I did all my labour techniques to cope with the pain! That mermaid who was supposed to be on my back, has died! Gone, I am burying her as I can't possibly do this again. I am chuffed though, that I actually did this and how it looks so lovely and reminds me of some of my fave things:
My gorg and sexy husband who came with to support me
My gorg and sexy surfboards that will get back into the ocean real soon
My gorg and sexy Hawaiian and Mauritian holidays and all the other island holidays I hope to take.
It still hurts and I can't submerge it in water for 2 weeks which sucks a bit. I get to show it off after 2 weeks but here is a pic so long.
Absolutely beautiful. Wow. Well worth a bit of eina. So are you going to be Stinky-Barbie for 2 weeks sweetpea? xx

Perhaps someone *coff* should have warned you that the closer to the bone you have ink done the more it hurts... Sorry!
