My friend Daisy had been previously tattooed using the machine, but she was really excited about getting one done traditionally especially since my sister and I told her that the pain is like pulling your eyebrow...hehe.
So we went to Ernesto to get it done.
Anyway, she decided she wanted something tribal of course cos that's the only way to go if you wanted it done traditionally. And she wanted a design the means 'protection'.
She's from Sabah by the way & what better design to get then a design of the Hornbill cos Sarawak is the Land of the Hornbill (duh!!!).
No specific reason why she chose the placement but the location is kinda cool for that specific design.
She did it on 23 Dec 2007 starting at 6.00pm and it took him close to 2 hours to tat her cos she's thick skin...literally.
Her skin just couldn't penetrate the ink well & Ernesto had to hit the same spot longer then he normally does.
In fact he had to take a 15 minutes ciggy break in between cos his arm was getting tired.
Her face was red by the time he was done. But I must say, she did not whine during the whole process except for the occasional 'ouch'.
And so, Daisy became a happy lady on Christmas Day & decided she's coming back in Feb to get it extended
The completed design...well so far anyway
Thanks Dazed for the submission :p
