finish my tattoo

I was so hoping it would be done but he says 2/3. Sigh… Another 7 hours I guess…
It is really starting to look good, though… :) Have appointments made for March and April which were supposed to be for my leg but I think they have been preempted to finish my back… Have made appointments for May and June…
Christ!!! Once a month, I am there… since October! That’s just craziness. If it drags out any longer it will be July, August and September and then I will have been indeed going for a year!!

Here I come!!

He says I am not ready… Needs a little longer to heal so no tattoo for me on Thursday. But he was gracious enough to fit me in on January 13th so it will still be finished before i go to Mexico…

And it hurt so bad the first couple of days I moisturized it too much and now I have a red itchy bumps on it and have been told not to moisturize at all.
Sigh
Oh the suffering.
Remind me again why I am Paying someone over $2000 to stab me repeatedly with needles, wrap me in saran wrap and leave me to suffer?
Ah yes, the joy of personal expression and body modification.
I just want to exfoliate.
Dammit.
And my next session is in two weeks so by the time this is just better it will be time to go again.

Is the second of 3 installations of the back piece!! I am so excited. I am cooking the staff chicken tortilla soup and pumpkin bars. Yum.

I am getting very excited. I am making the staff Chciken Tortilla Soup, Pumpkin Bars and Oatmeal Raisin cookies… Hopefully I will have time to get it all done… I did all the shopping today. The soup is really easy because it goes in the slow cooker. The Pumpkin Bars are quick but the cookies take forever… Work tomorrow, have Improv class then Thursday I work and then am off to Guns N Roses and then to poker. Friday I have to train in the AM and then I think I have an hour to spare…. Looks like that might be cookie baking time…

that I have been a 43 Things slacker lately… So, my next tattoo appointment is on Friday and then the final one on December 28th. I am not on the stupid Dr. B diet anymore so hopefully it will be marginally less painful. My company Xmas party is on Saturday so I am hoping he will only work on the bottom 3/4 of it so the top 1/4 that sticks out of my dress won’t be all oozy and fresh…

So, this one done by Dec 28. The appointment for my leg starts in March. (left leg, on the outside only, ankle to knee) and while I’m there I think I will get my dog’s name tattooed on my right calf and then I am done!!! Yay!!

happened last Friday. I was there for 7 hours. Under the needle for 5… It looks fab… I can’t wait for it to be finished.

But next Friday is the first inastallment! I am so excited! I hope I will be able to manage seven hours of tattooing hwile I am on this freakin’ diet. 6 egg whites and four Triscuits only go so far in a day. :)

is my first full day appointment of three subsequent ones that shouls result in a finished tattoo before Xmas…
I saw the first draft a couple of weeks ago and was mortified… it was so not what I wanted and I was terrified that he just wasn;t understanding what I wanted… I saw the second draft last week and was ecstatic! It is exactly what I was dreaming of… They are working on the color version now and I can’t wait to see the next draft! Will post pictures…
