4 Hours
Ok, so I thought I'd start a blog to keep a record of my tattoo progress. I've been thinking about a tattoo for about 2 years now, constantly researching online, looking at books and talking to as many people as possible. I knew I wanted the Japanese style for my tattoo as it has a certain class and beauty that no other style has for me. I finally ended up taking the plunge with Diego Azaldegui at MVL Tattoo in Leeds, UK (www.mvltattoos.com) and booking in for a three quarter Japanese sleeve.
I went to visi Diego in December 2011 to talk to him about what I wanted and check out the studio. Diego produces some really great Japanese work and is also a really nice guy, so it was an easy decision to let him work on my very first tattoo.
My first booking was for 6th Jan. This was a 4 hour session, the first 2 hours was spent with Diego drawing directly onto my arm with pens and refining the design until he was happy. The remaining time was spent doing the outlines.
I don't mind admitting that I was shitting myself before he started tattooing me! This was my first tattoo ever and it's a pretty big one too. The session went really well though and I was very happy with the end result.
