Thank you guys.The artist was excellent.He has lots of art on his website and I was happy he agreed to do my humble tattoo.It is indeed a Revival reference but......this year I started rereading all of King's books in prder and I have seen this phrase pop up in Carrie and The Stand too.Now I am on the lookout:)

It's quite nice but I think I am hypersensitive to anything like that - my skin could not handle it - was it very painful?

Beautiful job!

Did it hurt? Well......my previous tattoo was a cakewalk.I was not prepared for the pain this one caused.After I asked the artist why and he explained it was because of the thickness of the letters.Honestly...if I had known that would cause that much pain I would have thinned those letters right out! The other parts weren't bad:)
FRECKLES: What can I say? I like the sun:) I know it's bad.........

Very nice. I'm contemplating getting either a Stephen King or Rush tattoo, but I'm afraid I'd be in tears the entire time. I can't handle pain.
