I've been wanting to get a tattoo for awhile now, so I finally did it. I picked Rain from Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. I love it! It's still reddish from the blood and stuff, but it was worth the $200 bucks I paid for it! (Excuse my half nakedness :lol:)

I'm not gonna lie. It hurt like hell. Worth every cent I paid for too. Her front foot seems to be bent a tad awkwardly, but I can deal with it with flying colors. I'm am very pleased! I was worried he'd screw it up, but he didn't. I am happy.

Its cool. Def not something I would have thought of or something a lot of people would get.
I'm trying to figure out my next tattoo haha. I want a horse head on my shoulder with a quote. But haven't found anything I like.

I first walked in and told the dude what I wanted. And he was like "Are you serious?" I said "As a heart attack" It was quite funny. It was cause it wasn't the norm of what people usually get.

It is low. I requested right there. Yeah It only went over a rib or two. But yikes that was painful. Except when he did the back part of it, that tickled. Then he rubbed that alcohol on it or whatever that stuff was. I bout died :P JK but that huuuurrrrrrttttt. I didn't want it to be seen all the time, so I picked my side.

Very cute one, Kates! BTW, is it permanent or you can wash it off with time? I'm always confused with tattoos...

Thank you! It's permanent. Not temporary, and it was funny, The tattoo shop I got it at is used to people getting hardcore tattoos, skulls and crossbones, and such like that. When I said I wanted rain, the dude went "Are you serious" I was like "As a heart attack." I already knew I'd get that kind of reaction though so it didn't bother me.

I found when the colour faded on mine, I liked it a bit more. It wasn't so...intense.

Don't forget to put sunscreen on it, even if it is just on the tattoo, because it "helps" it from fading faster then if you didn't.

Good tattoo though. Surprised at the price though. Mines post-it note size and was $300 or so....

How detailed is it? And thanks, I like it. It's now peeling and itchy so means it's healing. I'm ready for it to heal all the way, this itching that I can't scratch is annoying.

Very cool! Bet that hurt like a b*tch, though. lol It'll look awesome with Spirit on the other side.

I want to get one on my shoulder, but not for a while because my folks would probably disown me if I vandalized my body like that. :wink: I'm going to wait till I move out so they'll never be the wiser.

Thanks! And it did, and I think it'd look nice with the addition of Spirit as well. And I might add the eagle sometime too.

I honestly told (didn't ask) Mom I was getting a tattoo and got it that weekend. It was my money and I was gonna spend it on what I wanted. I think she ended up liking it though. I think it's cute myself! I love tattoos, they say a lot about a person. Unfortunately if you want a nice job though, usually you'll have to put it where no one can see it all the time.

See I knew a Spirit tattoo would be perfect for me because I am pretty much obsessed with the movie, I like Mustangs, Rain is like amazing. If only she were real. Call me weird, but when I die I want Spirit music and stuff played at my funeral. But hopefully I have a lOOONGGG time to worry about that.

When did you have this done? :-| That is not a fresh tattoo. Do you have any more recent pics? Sorry if I'm just not understanding when you had it done, I thought it was a pic RIGHT after you had it done.
I got the tattoo last Saturday, and the pic was taken about 4 hours after I got it.
