Teeze Tattoo

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

So I kinda promise askani back when she posted her Timcanpy tattoo that I would show her my Teeze when I got it done.  Then my friend told me to bypass the private message I was going to send and just post it here.

So I was totally stressed about getting this done. I was stressing about the fact that it is anime related and that well frankly i don't know if I'll still like DGM in five, ten years (OMG blasphimy!!) Also the fact that my father is completely against tattoos. But i wanted my Teeze and got it and in the end I love it. Soo how about a few pictures.





At the shop.  Eww skin is red and icky.


Crappy lighting... sorry.



Blurry... but more detail. I don't have anyone around at this point to take pics.

My artist was so awesome. He made me feel so comfortable and was really gentle

This is awesome, thumbs up! 8Db

Wow, I totally want a tattoo like this now.

Oh my God that is AWESOME!

Dude did gorgeous work! And good choice with it: even if you *gulp* DO lose your love for DGM, that kind of tattoo will still be beautiful and will remind you of a period in your life when it held a different meaning for you! Is the red/fuschia around it a glow or is that from the owie-ness of the tattoo?

^.^ Thank you! The artist did such a great job!

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

XD The more the merrier! We'll create a teeze army

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^_^

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thanks! My artist did such a wonderful job. I think that is part of the reason I got Teeze. It's a butterfly... I love butterflies they are pretty. And it will be a nice reminder of this time of my life. I made so many great friends through the DGM fandom.

The pink in the last two pictures is glow... most of it in the second picture is owie ^.^

HOLY CRAP THAT IS AWESOME. I was picturing more black when you mentioned it and I'M SO GLAD there's purple and what looks like white ? in it. It makes it look THAT MUCH MORE AWESOME. I love that it looks like ace of spades for the top wings. It looks mighty painful in the photos but I love the size.

Half the fun in getting an anime/fandom related tattoo is being able to be geeky and doing so in a sort of obscure way. If you do end up loosing your current love for DGM [not that it will ever happen, of course :)] you'll have something to remind you of your love for it and all the people you met from that time in your life.

I have 5 fandom related tattoos and I'm planning two more for sure [more on my legs, lol] so don't fret over yours. Yours makes ME want to go get a tease now. lol. ♥

and a note on the purple ink - one of my leg tats has purple ink and a small part of it scabbed up pretty bad. some how the scab got pulled off and now that spot lost its colour so it's a faint white-ish spot in the middle of the rest of the purple. [I'll eventually go and get it touched up one of these days.] SO BE SUPER CAREFUL of any scabbing, because you don't want that to happen to you.

Wow, it looks amazing, the job is impecable <3

The good thing about tease is that it can be accompanied by its other siblings (hearts, diamond and clover) if some day you want to expand that tattoo and make a tease army ;)

If I didn't like permanent things/feared needles that much (when someone says the needle is for me, if it is for someone else, I don't mind XD) I would consider getting one for me.

woah! this is nice!
In fact i dun think u needa worry if its anime related cox it looks like an awesome design just on its own!
Wow...
now i feel like getting one like yours! Plus! its purple!!!! my fav color! XD

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you, my artist really did such a great job <3~

So true and maybe one day if i'm brave enough I'll get some of the siblings done. ^_^

I have the same problem with commitment and needles... I just decided to suck it up and go for it and it was totally worth it!

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thanks~!! Actually it fades to a really light purple like a lavender. It wasn't really painful it's just that my skin is so pale that when it turns red it really turns red.

I don't think I'm going to regret this in the long run (I ALWAYS go through a short period where i completely regret something major i do especially when money is involved) but you are exactly right. Whenever I see it I'll remember the fandom and the amazing friends I made when i became part of it.

XD I'm going to end up starting a teeze army if everyone who says they want one now actually gets one! ♥

Ooo and thanks for the warning about the purple ink. I'll be sure to be really careful about that~.

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thanks~!
I'm really not entirely worried. because frankly no matter what you call it a teeze is still a butterfly.
lol go for it! Tyki's golem butterflies need more love~! (And purple is my fav color too~! ♥)

[eiliem.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful. And until I read the caption I thought the red outlining the teeze was deliberate ...oops o.O
It looks pretty but it must be painful. *is in awe of your courage*

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you~ ^.^ Some of the pink was deliberate. but not to the extent of that in the second picture. It wasn't really painful at all. A bit irritating and annoying at points but really not a lot of pain. Actually a few parts even tickled because of the vibration of the machine by my neck. I'm not courageous...i'm crazy ^.~

[the-angry-chibi.livejournal.com]

I love you! Not really...but you know what I mean. I am not crazy enough to get a tattoo inspired by a D.gray-man character. LOL
Though, I am tempted to get Kanda's tattoo...>__>

Nice tattoo. It looks really good. I'm afraid of needles so that's the only thing stopping me from not getting one.

[sinistersundown.livejournal.com]

Ah, you beat me to it! Looks lovely, though!

[red-raincloud.livejournal.com]

oh my god this is awesome

really well done

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

I feel loved...kinda XD. I'm proud to be crazy lol. If i was a guy i would have totally gotten Kandas tattoo (no big black marks on my boobs thank you very much)

Thank you I had a wonderful artist <3.

Honestly you really don't see the needles in the tattooing gun. I'm also afraid of needles but they were very easy to forget about. ^_^

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Ah you want a teeze tattoo as well? Thank you~ I'm glad it turned out so well

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

^.^ thank you~! If only my artist could read all these comments I think his ego would inflate a bunch.

[zippyz.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that's awesome! So prettyyyyyy holycrap *_*


I want an Allen one but I don't know what/where to get one that wouldn't be cosplay-detrimental rofl. >>;

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Ah thanks Zippy! ^.^ my artist did such a great job I'm so happy with it. ♥♥♥ Time to cosplay battle damage Tyki just to show it off. *can't wait for next con*

The back is a good place for most tattoos that need to be hidden.

[knittedninja.livejournal.com]

Great tattoo!

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[cattheterrible.livejournal.com]

Cool. And don't worry too much about the fandom thing. A tattoo like that is sort of an in-joke - anyone who wasn't familiar with DGM would assume it was just a normal butterfly. It doesn't scream "LAWL ANIME" like a tattoo of Pikachu or something.

Aw, man... I saw one dude who got a snake cross from Fullmetal Alchemist tattooed on his shoulder... and it was backward. T_T He didn't even notice. I didn't have the heart to tell him.

[kowaiki.livejournal.com]

I've never thought about getting one seriously, but a tease one looks really nice.

[subaru-san.livejournal.com]

So this is a real, permanent tattoo? Even though I like how it looks, I have to admit that because of health concerns, I'd never have done anything more than a temporary one. Also because as a Gemini, I change my mind a lot.

[haru-kurofai.livejournal.com]

Oh WOW!! That's beautiful <33

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm not too worried about the fandom thing... just about everyone outside of the fandom who saw it said "kick ass butterfly" and stuff like that. kinda what i was going for.

aww damn. poor guy. of course it could have been the artists fault it got switched... and the guy didn't realize because it looked right in the mirror (because some people still don't realize the the image in the mirror is reversed XD)

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I seriously wanted to get a butterfly for years but i didn't want a cute little super girly thing... and then someone introduced me to DGM... and I found the perfect butterfly <3

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Yep its permanent. The health concerns aren't that high as long as you take care of it and let it heal property (i've been making sure of that @.@) I tend to change my mind a lot also... but I've wanted this for years so i went for it. It's a beautiful piece of art and i'm proud to have it on my body.

[jezzii-alexiel.livejournal.com]

Thanks~!! <3 My artist is amazing <33

[subaru-san.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that shape of Tyki's butterflies is very pretty. ^_^

[cyanfantasy.livejournal.com]

wow, that's pretty cool!
Good Choice!I like Teez as well, the only thing is that I am not planing on having a tattoo in the near future!
(though the truth is that sometimes I draw a small Teez on my arm hihi)
anyways, I am sure you won't regret it cause it's awesome!
:)
