Hey Sugar, I would say yes, it is worth it. Mine is still scabbed pretty good but I can see where the skin is clear under there. He said since mine was 10 years old it may take another session so it may not all be gone yet. He said it usually only takes one sesson for newer tattoos. But so far I'm pretty happy! Good luck to you! Grace

Hellooooo! I love this board! I have one tat...really two but the pieces were joined together. The first was a large flower with a butterfly on my rt hip done in Oklahoma. The second piece was done years later at Tropical Tattoo in Daytona Beach, FL. The second part is a little egyptian-ish looking girl sitting on a part of the stem made into a swing. The artist was awesome. I took my idea to him and he worked it up. I love my ink. I have ideas for about 3 more. The one I want the most is for when I am at goal weight...a long awaited dream being recognized seems the perfect occasion. Be blessed and be well, Jill

Hey PJ- I went and got it. It didn't go in like a regular tat, they spill it onto your skin and then go over it with the gun. It was $150. Anyway, as he put it in I could see the old ink coming up to the surface. Its still scabbed pretty bad but in a couple weeks I'll let you know how it looks. SO far so good though! Thanks for responding! Grace

I've been thinking of getting another one also. Butterfly too. lol I saw a beautiful one on a web site it was a butterfly with the sun and moon in it. I'm thinking of getting that one.

How nice to run across fellow enthusiasts! I have 4 so far: 1. A red heart with a blue rose stuck through it, with a name ribbon running across the front. The ribbon is blank. I got it in honor of a good friend that died Oct 1993. It is on my upper left thigh. 2. A multicolored butterfly on my right lower thigh. I think butterflies are creatures of beauty and freedom. Plus I love the colors. 3. On the back of my neck in black ink, the Chinese symbol for 'chi.' To remind myself that I have great power within myself, and that I am stronger than I think I am. Also so that it emanates from there to all the rest of my body. 4. On my left shoulder blade, a blue rose with the name Brian. He was my uncle who was murdered in June of 2002. Blue was his favorite color. I soooooooooo want more tattoos. As a matter of fact, reading this makes me think of swinging by the parlor today. Maybe I will... My fiancee and I had talked about getting matching tattoos. He had this cool silver ring with the alpha and omega signs intertwined, I wanted to get that on my lower back. Before he got my engagement ring, he had me wear that one. Well, as the weight came off, so did the ring and now we can't find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Valena Lap RNY 5/3/2004, -63#
