Tattoo #1
'Cause who am I kidding? There will be more...
This one was done by Dan at Artistic Skin Design in Indianapolis. I love it. There was a bit of a close call. He started doing the wrong color, but that was mostly because I didn't make myself clear, 'cause I was really freaking nervous. 
But all turned out well, as you can see:
Me and some buddies went out celebrating after. Okay, actually, it was just an excuse to eat greek.
(Santorini's Greek Kitchen - it kicks ass).
The tattoo didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it was going to. The outlining was the worst, but even that wasn't any worse than getting the smallpox vaccination.
The day after was kinda bad, but it's getting better every day. Now it just feels like a bad sunburn. It doesn't look like it's scabbing too badly, and I hope it keeps it up. I'll be annoyed if I have to go get it touched up. 
It's most definitely addictive. Already thinking about what I'm going to get next. Doh!!! I think it's most definitely got something to do with the adrenaline rush, because yes, there is most definitely an adrenaline rush attached to the experience. My words to Kris upon leaving the tattoo parlor, "Great, now I want to have sex." 
And the gods know that isn't happening. 
Speaking of which, I am still talking to Deven in Iraq. Gods, I miss him. How sad is that? Especially when I tried really, really hard to not get attached to him, knowing that I was going to leave and that would be the end of it. I guess that didn't work nearly as well as I was hoping...
later
