*rolls around*
No one is on AIM and i've gone through messages twice, now i am BOOOORED, so i'm going to tell you what i did todaaay.
I booked in a time to get a tattoo dooooone, cause im a fag like thaaaat. $50 deposit, it's $30 on the day once i turn up on time. They reckon it'll only take about an hour.
Here, i'll find you an image of what i'm getting done *scrounges through own gallery*
AHA here we go. It's the symbol for the planet Mercury, the planet under which i fall as a gemini, the symbol is the top one on the right of the ref http://deathcomes4u.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=ref#/dgj14j
I'm getting it done no bigger than about 3.5 centimetres, and in brown, as similar a shade to my freckles as I can, because i want it to be subtle.
I'm getting it done on the back of my neck, at which point i'm not entiiiirely sure. I'm thinking the base where it meets my shoulders. I know higher up would be easier to hide though. I'll see what the tattoo artist reccommends as the least painful area XD Not that the pain bothers me, nor do needles so long as they are not intra-veinous *curls arms up just thinking about it*.
Nah but this is about the only tattoo i think i ever want to get. Seriously, this is a huge decision for me. You'd think artists would be the most eager people to get tats done all over them, but it's the opposite for me, because as an artist i'm much more descerning of my imagery, and permanent branding on my body? It has to really mean something, and it has to be tasteful so i can live with it. No tramp stamping. No stupid little dolphins or butterflies, or (god forbid) cartoon characters of ANY sort. And no gay flowers. Or skulls. Ugh. All so tacky. I dont mind tribal stuff so much, especially not i the right place on the right people, but my body is a no-go canvas. I'd only ever put something on it that i knew would mean something to me forever, nothing from a passing fad (i know myself too well to mark my skin with stuff i'm obsessed with. My obsessions are like boyfriends, i dont kid myself that i've found true love in every single one).
And no, no my parents don't know, and it's staying that way so much as i can help it. I'm a legal adult, this is the age i always planned to get a tattoo at, it has numerological significance and i'm not going to give them the chance to bitch and moan at me about it beforehand. They can do that after when they eventually see it. XD
Gotta take good care of it so it doesn't get infected or anything, but I have confidence in the place i'm going. They're health board certified, and come very highly reccomended by my cousin and her boyfriend, who got stuff done there and FIXED there where other parlours had botched their job.
If i ever did get another tatto, or other tattoos, they would be of very simple, very small natures, and the subjects would be my fursonas. And likely in soft tones, faded colours, not black. As much as i like black, it looks aweful in a tattoo that's aged.
Knowing me i'd never be convinced my own designs for them would be good enough for me. I constantly review my work and think badly of it, how could i possibly be confident in getting them inked on me?
So yea, that ends that RANT that i dint expect to go on XD
What else, what else... Oh, i stepped into some of the adult shops in livo on the way back to westfields from the tattoo place, that was lol. I wanted to check some of the nice cuffs and collars in one of them that i might buy for my next midfur convention, but nothing caught my eye, and the other place turned out not to have any, but did have some very amusing novelties *coughblowupsheepdollcough*
Oh, i forgot to mention, i was relieved of duty *snicker* at 12:30, apparently the double shift thing on the roster was a mistake, so i was free after 5 hours, woo. I got a text from my boss asking me to go back to the kiosk at one stage but um... kinda ignored it >.> he would have tried to wring more hours out of me, and after i'd tasted two hours of freedom i was having none of that XD *pretends to have gone home before looking at phone and receiving message*
So thats why i went traipsing and tattoo organising and adult shop romping. Only reason i didnt buy anything was i didnt have the money, given my deposit on the tat XDXDXD
*hears cats fighting outside, someone's party and a bunch more cars driving on the main road tooting their horns for some reason*
...what did i miss man? Did we just win the ashes or some shit? fffff not like i care. Bwaaaah. I should try and finish off Cure chap12 pt 2, but it's turning out to be a bitch to wring out of my head.
*sigh* well, still no one online, best thing i can do right now. If i get too stuck, i'll go back to my random attempt at redesigning G1 grimlock XD
