My 1st tattoo & this is my 2nd session pic, having added the lower tail feathers to the existing body of my phoenix. It's 24 hrs old & very red & swollen (though I do have 'thunder' thighs anyway, ha ha!!). Didn't hurt nearly a quarter as much as the ribs, thankfully. Next session May 14th, when we'll start on the colour. Some 'bleeding' on the lines of some of the 1st session feathers (over stretch marks) which we'll rectify when the colour's added.
