I’m often asked
by people without them
do tattoo’s hurt
well
of course they do
but they hurt differently
on different people
and they
hurt more at the time
of application
than any other time
I got more work done on my
memorial peice this week
each and every time I do it
as in the past
the artist starts
and I think to my self
as many have in the past
“I’m a smart woman
and I can get outta this
without looking like
the loser I am”
…because it hurts LoL
this whole business
of tattooing
is my sister’s fault
as she bought me my first
for my 40th b’day
and I was immediately hooked
I’ve said before
that the leg has been
and evolution of sorts
and I can’t help but think
that for the artist
it would be way easier
if he had a younger
taut
not quite so
dried up
canvas
one without
quite so many
vericose veins LoL
each and every time I get work done
he wraps it up
before I leave
to keep me from
leaking plasma
all over my bed
(some people actually bleed
I leak plasma)
so the following morning
when I unveil
the new work for viewing
and the first
tender wash of it’s lifetime
I never like it
that’s right
I never like it
the new stuff is foreign
and it always takes
me a day or so
to get used to it
this time was no
different
I paid the man
for the work done
knowing full well
that we weren’t finished
and the following morning
I had a wtf? was I thinking
in the shower
but here I am 4 days later
and I love the work
so in a mth I’ll go back
and I’ll try to get better pix too!
and if you need reminding
