The 18 hours it took to do this was totally worth it, doesn't hurt now...

I'm surprised that your tattoo isn't very red or swollen after just one day. Usually it takes a few days for that to go down. Must have been a good artist. I have one on my leg that never looked like it even had a scab, and the color has stayed very true for at least 4 years. Congrats! I think tattoos are like yorkies, you can't have just one!
