Philodendron micans tattoo
2020 - I got into houseplants.
2021 - I told myself, "If I'm still into houseplants a year from now, I'm getting a tattoo of my favorite plant."
2022 - Still into houseplants, and now also into outside plants.
2023 - Got it going in August.
2024 - My last session was just last Tuesday and I still have the Saniderm on.
There are supposed to be more leaves to the right of the tiger going towards my arm, but I'm suddenly moving out of state so it's done for now, at least with this artist.
I'm also panning to get the tiger touched up and color added.

…you’ve sold it, I now know what my second tattoo is gonna be! My P. Warszewiczii just put out a beautiful new leaf I’m going to model it after!
Ooh, that's exciting! Please post pics when you do.
If you like the style of mine, here's a tip: I told the artist I don't want any hard outlines / line art. Here is what it looked like before she shaded in the black areas:
That’s awesome - good tip. I think I’m going to try to find someone to mimic the physical leaf I like as closely as possible. How much did it hurt to get it done on your shoulder blade? I’ve heard mixed things and my only tattoo was on the outside of my shoulder and didn’t really hurt much at all. Have also heard that when they go back to fill in the color, it hurts much more
I don't recall the shoulder blade hurting too much. I feel like the areas around the edges are what hurt more because the skin is more delicate in those areas. Overall it really wasn't bad, but I do think the coloring hurt more than the black parts, but I don't know if that's just from me getting used to it physically and mentally.
