Well, it's done! I hope the picture is clear enough.
It wasn't that bad, actually--the process, I mean. Outlining wasn't the greatest, but the rest was very tolerable. And I impressed the artist--and Man About Town. Both of them expected that I would object a lot more, or have more discomfort, given the location. Pah! I've been through childbirth, I told them; 20 hours of induced labour and a c-section. I can handle a tat!
I love the design he came up with and the way he blended the colours...he even thought to ask me which colour I wanted on the top of the circle! I told him red, because while blue is my favourite colour, red is the one that I identify as "my" colour. It's a tad larger than I envisioned at first; but so much detail was lost when it was smaller, that I decided to go for a bit more size. And it's still small enough that I can, if I want, cover it.
The artist called it "striking." I'm inclined to agree!
P.S. This morning it's itchy and sting-y--like sunburn--just like RDQ said it would be!

It's gorgeous! Wow, you are brave. I was 26 before I got up the courage to get my ears pierced because of the prospect of pain.
I'm allergic to pain - I break out in screams. (grin)
