I dropped a deposit on the beginning of a tattoo sleeve this morning! I'm hoping to have a row of flowers in a rainbow arrangement on one of my arms (red at the top, then progressing to orange, yellow, white with a lot of greenery since green flowers aren't really a thing lol, blue and finally, purple at the bottom). If all goes well, I should have my first tat a couple of days after my birthday, so next month.
My parents have offered to give me the money for the appointment as my birthday present, which should cover the costs for the first piece. It's gonna take a bit longer than I thought it would for it to be completed (I've estimated around eight months or longer so far, taking healing times into account), since the colours will most likely be really vibrant (the first appointment should last around three hours), but I'm happy to take my time for a really pretty sleeve that will last years.
