travel, tats, and the fucking humidity

[osaraba]

I've really got to get back into the habit of posting again, I really hate going a whole week without checking my flist and then having to play catch-up and missing awesome things like music friending memes and M&G/concert reports, and then also having like a million things to update about, too. So here goes

I don't know what the forearm tattoo is in reference to, but it looks fucking awesome!! Wait. So you got two back of the arm tattoos and a forearm tattoo all done at the same time. OUCH. You are one brave lady.

Hee, the forearm tat is a reference to a P!ATD lyric that goes "if birds are just hollow words" and then later "if words are just hollow birds". I... don't even like the song, actually, but those lines were just awesome and I got the idea for the tat immediately the first time I heard it. So, thank you! I love that you like it!!! =D

And yeah, I did the two back-of-arm tats plus the forearm -- one at night and then the other two the next morning. It wasn't really that bad-- last time my chest tats were 5hrs one day and 3 hrs the next to finish them up. THAT was way more painful. =/

I miss living in Southeast Asia. My dad spent a lot of time working in Indonesia and I visited Bandung a couple times. Oh, the food. <3

MMmmmmmmm, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FOOD NOMNOMNOM!

I've never been to Indonesia before so I'm aslfdjlsafldj SUPER EXCITED FOR EVERYTHING! I'll be mostly in Jakarta but definitely visiting Bandung and Bali! =D

YES it'll be insanely hot. I think. I've been told to bring very light clothing, which.... is too bad because I prefer layering, even in the summer, but I'll just have to deal, I guess.

I WILL PERSEVERE <3

YES, the word/bird tat is pretty cool, isn't it? IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY EVERY TIME I LOOK DOWN AND SEE IT!!!!! =D

I had only partially visualized it myself until I looked up some bird silhouettes on google images.... and then trying to describe it to the tat artist was difficult at first too. But we finally got there! And I'm soooooooo happy with how it turned out, so thank youuu~~~~! =D

That's awesome about going to Indonesia!

And I understand you about blending in with the natives - the first time I went to Israel, it was amazing being able to be surrounded by people who look similar enough to me, believe in the same thing I do, and speak the same language as I do.

Have an amazing time!

EEEE \o/ Thank you, I'm positive I will! =D

(No matter what, it'll certainly be an experience to remember.)
