    First part of tattoo is done!

    This is how it turned out. Took about 2 hours or less to complete. It looks awesome!
    Thanks, Holly at Feel Good Ink

    Thanks for the comments!
    I love it so much. Maybe I'm stupid, but I had no idea they could do a life-like portrait, so I brought in cartooned pics of Nergal...and Holly said we should do a portrait of Nergal instead, so I brought him in and they took a pic. It looks just like him!
    I am pleasantly surprised and so happy with how it turned out.
    Was only $100, too.
    I love it.

    I told the artist some of the important points of the tattoo I wanted to stand out--one of them was the heat pits. For some reason, I'm fascinate by snakes' heat pits, and as this is one of the main way pythons catch their prey, I really wanted them to stand out. I think they do.
    Another thing was their face shape, as it really is only ball pythons who look the way they do. All snakes are different so I wanted people to recognize, "OH! Ball python!"
    Here are a few pictures of Nergal for comparison:
