Demon Slayer Villains Tattoos

Hello! Yesterday we took a look at the heroes from Demon Slayer that I got tattooed turned my tap out session. Today, we are going to peep the baddies – the villains! While I already had a huge Demon Slayer heroes piece prior to this session, I only had one villain tattooed – Enmu from the Mugen Train arc. Only one simply wouldn’t do and I wanted to add Daki and Gyutaro who are, easily, my favorite demons in the series thus far. They were Just. So. Cool. The tattoos are pretty rad too! Check it out:

Daki and Gyutaro are the demons from the Entertainment District arc and I loved the dynamic between the “brother and sister” duo. Daki is one hundred percent pure brat power while Gyutaro handles the heavy lifting and Daki’s emotional support. Their tandem fighting was absolutely insane to watch with Daki’s killer kimono and Gyutaro’s flesh sickles. They were a deadly team and my mind was blown the first time I saw this season. I have watched it several times since and the shock value has yet to wear off!

For my tattoos, I chose to get the image when Daki and Gyutaro are shown together for the first time midway through their big fight. Coincidentally, this is shortly after Daki gets beheaded by Uzui which is the tattoo I got on my inner leg. This worked out perfectly because I have Uzui (seen yesterday) on the other side and it looks like something right out of a manga. The tattoo of the demons together on my outer thigh wasn’t anything to sneeze at. Like the Uzui tattoo we discussed yesterday, the Daki tattoo on my inner thigh was not all that. Lol, but hey – I made it through and have some killer ink to show for it!

Demon Slayer is something that my brother and I both love and truly bonded over. I am beyond thrilled with how my heroes and villains turned out and can’t wait to finish up my session soon!

What is the biggest tattoo you have? How long did it take? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Tattoo Touch Ups

Tattoo Touch Ups

Hello!! Way back in April of 2022 was the last time that I got any new tattoos and let me tell you that the ink craving has been real! So much so, that I am prepping for an eight to ten hour session later today as I type this. The day before my big sesh was dedicated to coming into Vivid Visions, my artist’s tattoo shop, for touch ups and placement planning. The main thing that needed some extra TLC was my hands, which were tattooed two years ago. They looked fantastic when I first got them done, but holy wow do they look even better now! Check it out:

My tattoo artist, Emily, has done almost all of my body art except for three tattoos. She is, hands down, one of the best artists in my neck of the woods and I am blown away by her work every time I look at myself lol. For my touch up session, she went over my hands in their entirety for areas of improvement. This included the front of my hands, my palms, and my fingers with more plans for that during my appointment today. She started with my fingers first and after just one letter I noticed a massive difference.

My hand touch ups took about an hour or so and it was kind of weird being tattooed again after so long. Not weird different, but weird that it was exactly how I remember it being: Not bad. Part of this is due to my insanely high pain tolerance, but the other part is all Emily. She has the most gentle hand that I have ever experienced being tattooed. If you’re inked, you know what it feels like to be tattooed by a heavy handed artist – not great. Not only does she have just the right touch, but she works quickly and efficiently while still paying the keenest attention to detail. Before I knew it, she was done and my hands looked brand new. I am so in love with this night and day makeover!

Stay tuned for more new work soon because there is going to be a lot! So glad Emily offers tap out sessions so I can get everything I want done in one day. CAN’T WAIT!

Have you gotten any new body mods recently? Do you plan on getting any soon? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New Tattoo Excitement!!

New Tattoo Excitement!!

Heyyy everyone and happy Hump Day! So I am wicked excited for Saturday the 20th at 1 o’clock in the afternoon because I have a tattoo appointment!! I was planning to get a new tattoo for my birthday in June, but I saw that the artist who I am going to is running a percentage off special in May so I figured that I might as well get it now and save some money on it. It has been literal years since my last tattoo. Jeez Louise, I think it might have been back in 2014. Yikes!

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I don’t want more tattoos because I want a bunch. But, when I started college in 2014, I didn’t exactly have money to just throw around on extra things like body mods, clothes, and accessories because they were just extra and text books are no joke. But, now that I’ve been graduated since the end of 2016 and am actually making money instead of constantly spending it on college related fees, I feel pretty okay about getting a TREAT YOSELF/early birthday tattoo!

So what am I gonna get, you might ask? Take a looksee:

If you aren’t familiar with the book The Little Prince, then you are missing out because that’s where these drawings are from! I plan on getting the first image of him flying with the birds on my side but I want him dressed in the clothing from the second image. The birds are going to go up onto my back and probably end close to my bra line. Then at some point, I’ll work in a quote en francais as well as the horizon line at the end of the book. AHHHH!!

For those of you who don’t already know, The Little Prince is one of my all time favorite books. It just is. I could read it every day until I die and never tire of it. I think that it is so beautiful and every time I read it (which is quite frequently), I fall even more in love with the words and imagery scattered like petals throughout the pages. I am super excited to get my undying adoration for this book commemorated in tattoo form and it has been a long time coming because I’ve wanted this done for five-ever.

May 20th can’t come soon enough and I have a feeling that I will be in the tattoo chair quite a lot this year! How’s that for some New Tattoo Excitement?! Who plans on getting a new piercing or tattoo soon? What is your favorite tattoo or piercing that you have? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
