24.
Oh my god adrenaline rush. I just got back from Peterborough.. exhausting day overall. I got to Mike's at 4, he drew up my design until 6, and then we got to work. I'll have pictures when I find my camera.. But until then, it's an insanely detailed, really beautiful mermaid with four moray eels wrapping around her. Mike was running around going 'I'M GONNA WIN AWARDS WITH THIS ONE! KICKASS!' the entire time. Fucking wonderful.
Mike and I talked off and on for the three hours he was tattooing me.. about art, tattooing, music, life, whatever. He's a big burly guy, looks like a typical biker dude, but he's really sweet and hilarious. We ordered pizza halfway through, and then started the colouring, which hurt an insane amount. He's using five or so colours on the tail alone so dropping it all in's going to be awhile.. Thus I'm heading back for another appointment whenever he's free. I'm high on the waiting list because he loves the tattoo so much and because I am an awesome tipper. But the detail in the hair's gonna kill me next time around.
I've got a job interview next saturday at another chiropractic clinic.. as a chiropractic assistant. They'll be training me to apparently work on clients if I get the job. The only problem so far is that they want me for a year+ and I'm not sure if I want to commit to that. Whatever.
Mild salvia trip report: I saw Jamaicans (with dreads, no less) marching around my ceiling and wall last night and I started laughing and saying, 'Only I can see you because I'm tripping!' I.. don't know.
In conclusion,
