I have a love for the islands and wanted to cary a reminder with me of its beauty. Soooo a tat on my lover back was the answer. The first time I went to get it done my nerves were more than I could handle and I literaly got sick on the guys shoes. It was really bad and I left feeling like a loser. How could I let this happen... a couple months later I went to a highly recommended place in Mt P, Big Dog Tattoo. Mark was amazing ... midway through I started feeling a little queezy and thought OH NO NOT AGAIN... Being a little more confident I told him I am not feeling so well. He immediately stopped inking me, got me some water and a cup of reeses pieces and had me lay down. He was awesome and even told me why some people pass out or almost pass out. We waited a few minutes and he finished. Now I have a Beautiful hisbicus flower on my lower back and feel I have crossesd over to a new level in my life. I have a new respect for tats and the people that have them. Yes it was my first one but not my last...

Sunny - congrats on finally getting thru it.
I just posted re my 1st experience and agree with you, I've got one but not going to be my last. I felt dizzy when I got up, too. Just the nerves. Worrying about it was worse than DOING it for me. I can't believe I put it off so long. I love it !!!
