I am so very happy with my tattoo. Creating the artwork myself makes it even more special. The horse is my favorite mare that I grew up with. Now she will be with me forever. The tattoo artist told me that if I wanted all the fine super fine details plus the shading it would be a long time in the chair. 5 hours later I got the tattoo of my dreams. People ask if it hurt, yes it did, but If I could make it though a month cancer radiation treatments, this would be child's play.
