vroom vroom

this tattoo belongs to lyndsays hubby brendan, hes waited many years to get a tattoo and wanted a hawaiian pin up girl from what i can gather, however quite rightly he will be getting that particular one done on holiday in america by someone who specializes in those particular designs. this was his first ever tattoo and i was feeling ok about doing it, id done lyndsays lizard and also the outline of two others on the night. however brendan is a very particular man and is somewhat the perfectionist, and i could physically feel my hands shaking when i set out doing this.
maybe it was the stress or the time of night or the alcohol fuelled chit chat (from the customers not me), but this little iddy biddy thing was the hardest tattoo ive ever done.
it took so long and so many things went wrong with it. it still isnt quite right now though brendan will need to wait until his next trip to scotland to get it coloured in.
hes a bit of a petrolhead, into vintage motors and trucks, cars of any age and description and so the V8 symbol seemed quite fitting for him.
it upset me so much i actually ended up in tears over it but i think he likes it a little bit and once its coloured he will hopefully learn to love it and not hold it against me forever more. sorry the first tattoo wasnt the best experience but im sure now the bug has bitten you brendan youll be collecting them from every holiday you go on xxxx
