Today I finally decided to get my newest addition of body art. Being an artist, I consider everything a canvas including my body. I found this amazing artist named Jimmy at a Tattoo Parlor called Hope for Pain - go figure. He designed my arm piece with the angel wings and I was completely in love with his work after that. He also design my husband's back piece with a lion, which Aaron had to do in two sittings. My arm design took 7 hours so I thought this one should be a breeze. I decided to get this one on my back.
After careful contemplation, I decided on one of the 72 names of God. This one in particular calls up Angelic Forces and Influences. It is a very powerful name and only spoken when supernatural intervention is needed. It consist of 3 Hebrew Letters.
HEY ZAYIN YUD - Angelic Influences

So I get there at 6 pm and I try my best to get my mind right. My secret is to hum to the sound of the tattoo gun and this puts my mind on a higher vibration and increases my tolerance for pain. Jimmy puts the design on my back and I am in awe. It is even more beautiful than I ever imagined. OK... I'm ready to do this. So I sit down with my back towards Jimmy. He says, "I'm going to do one line just to get you ready." Buzzzzzzzz
OMG..... Ouch, that hurt like hell. I mean really hurt like hell or what I imagine hell to be. Are you ready?, he says. So he begins and after 5 minutes I'm ready to take a break. This was my 1st mistake, because every time I took a break I had to build up my tolerance for pain all over again. So Jimmy is still working on the outline and as he gets closer to my spine, I start feeling it in my knee cap and then in my elbow. When he hit my spine, the vibrational hymn turned into a cry for help. After 5 1/2 hours I had reached my tolerance for pain and my brain was yelling, Chick are you crazy? What are you doing to me? Let's get the hell out of here!!!!!! Jimmy realized I had reached my limit and that's why you see only a half done tattoo. Feb 13th begins part 2. See ya then.
