wow... Just got back from the tattoo shop→[More:]
I gotta say, if breaking my femurs is a 10 on the pain scale, getting tattooed behind my knees is about an 8. I DENTED the edge of the table I was white knuckling so hard.

Should have pics tomorrow if it isn't too nasty-scabby.
I slept until noon today and I'm seriously exhausted from that.

I've got my lower back done, my upper back, my shoulders, and compared to this they were just a gentle kiss.
I mean, damn.

I need a hug after reading that. (But not anywhere near my knees)

Everything up to yesterday afternoon is here.

I don't have anything of my legs yet, I'll get something today, though. Supposedly I'm playing model later on, so hopefully he'll be able to get something.

Neither can I!! I don't know why I thought getting backseams would be a good idea. They'll look great once they're healed, though. No more worrying about my seams being straight, I can just get normal stockings now!

(I just tried to get pics. It's really tough to get photos of your own legs! They're up on my flickr, though.)

Ooo, I just checked out your pictures, and the legs look fabulous! The artist did a nice job keeping them straight.
Once they're healed, you should wear a pair of stilettos and a short skirt and have someone photograph you from knee level behind. Nice.

I hope that didn't come across sleazy. I have a frustrated photographer inside of me!

I love the backseam tattoos, Kelly.

Thanks! He did a great job. Once one was on and perfectly straight he spent about half an hour putting the other on over and over- making sure not just that they were both straight, but also that the individual stitches would line up across both legs.
