Sucker for Pain
It's true, what they say about tats. Once you get one, you keep wanting to get another. And so, off I went for another one yesterday, photos ala tarlia (thanks, dear!). My 5th, to be exact. Of course it helps (or doesn't, depending on one's perspective) when one's own cousin is the tattoo artist. And one whose only wish is to have a large human canvas to express his art. That's where I come in really handy (take a look at the size of that canvas!).
FYI, the slender curves and curlews were where it hurt most. That's because he uses smaller needles for those. And they tend to pack a harder punch. Fifth time round, it was as therapeutic as I remembered it to be. It's all in the wrist. The gentle thump thump thump of the wooden hammer on the pillow gives it an almost hypnotic rhythm. I was reading The Lost World of the Kalahari AND watching South Park:The Movie at the same time.
At some point, seoirse_1013 put food in front of me. That was the end of it. When the pain started to bother me, all I did was eat eat and eat. And then I ate some more.
I'm going back for more pain come Thursday. J wants to reinforce my bunga terung.
And many thanks to seoirse_1013, irmunchies and tarlia for your moral support and screaming laughter; and not to forget the accidental swearing and temporary malopropism.
