I took the A logo and the heart and wing idea that she has, but made my own design of it, and added in some colour. My name starts with an A too, and I love the colour yellow, so that's what I incorporated into it. I also tried to make a more masculine wing!! I think I achieved it.

But, anyway go for it, it'll be worth it!!

Here is mine:

So gorgeous! I love it!

The dude who'd put my tattoo on my shoulder said you can wash your tattoo, but you should not rub it. Besides, it kind of hurts or is not really a pleasant feeling when you let the water fall on your tattoo in the beginning, I bet you don't even think about moisture haha.

What I did was holding my shoulder for short times under the water and using a clean towel to touch it gently. I did the same with drying the body; touch the tattoo gently. After a couple of days it will heal and the less you will feel it. Anyway, I guess your artist knows very well about everything. Don't be afraid to ask anything.

Oh yeah, you will get a salve (is that correct english) for healing the wound. It's just what I said. To bring it on; just touch your tattoo gently.

^ well if you are getting the tattoo on your back, the first night I had to sleep on my belly. The second night I tried to sleep on my back again, but it felt for me much better when I turned on my belly again. Just make sure you have clean sheets when you are going to sleep that night in your bed with your just applied tattoo.

kumiko.koda · #67 24th December 2011, 09:58 PM

It will be similar to Ayu's tattoo, with a few changes

I will post a picture of it

EDIT:

I'm back from the studio and it wasn't that painful I thought it might be...

it looks very nice, it is good you are happy with it, since you will be having it your whole life XD

I already got mine for a few years and I still don't regret it, Ayu is a part of my life and I am proud of it ^^

This is exactly what I want! Awesome! Except I want the actual ayu "A" rather than that one.

xLuna&1LOVE · #73 1st January 2012, 03:18 PM

That's looking so awesome kumiko!

kumiko.koda · #74 2nd January 2012, 01:33 AM

^ thank you

@Azmaria: I like this A with the wing the most, it would have been my 2nd choice for getting a tattoo ^^

Here's mine, i think the tatoo guy made a great work, but i was scared...

Felt pain at start but then you get used and stop feeling pain. And have to be very careful after the tattoo... Don't scratch and THREE TIMES a day use vaseline to prevent big crusts and loose ink!
