I went to Black Wolf Studios on the 31st May 2011 to organise for my first ever tattoo. I was really nervous, but managed to walk up the stairs and into the office. Sharon was there to kindly greet me and was able to help me design what I wanted done. I then booked my appointment for the 14th June and left to go back to work.
The 14th June came too fast, but I was ready and willing, in fact I was excited lol. I finished my morning shift at work and headed to the studios. After filling in a couple of forms and answering a few very good questions, I asked if it would be OK to change my original design to just a peacock butterfly. Sharon said it wouldn't be a problem and she soon whipped out a folder which had a page full of butterflies, including tortoishells and peacocks. I was pleased and selected the one I wanted. After about 10 minutes of waiting - I was called through to the tattoo room.
Now I was nervous and the adrenaline was going mental lol. This was it. I decided I wanted it on the lower calf of my right leg, very near my ankle. Sharon said this was going to be painful as some of the design went over my ankle bone. I nodded, gritted my teeth and hopped up onto the bed. Sharon was right - it was painful - I'm not going to lie lol. But I managed to with stand the pain without to many movements. I had my eyes closed for most of it, but did watch whilst Sharon coloured in the butterfly with lovely colours and after it was done, she gave me a care sheet, which I have followed and now I have a lovely colourful peacock butterfly flying over my ankle.
I would definitely recommend Black Wolf to my friends - in fact I already have for one of them :)
