and many other choice words! My tattoo artist's exact words were "Even I'm not stupid enough to get my side tattooed." Damn. That hurt! But, it was worth it, I think. Another week, and I'll be good and healed. And, luckily, I had one of my friends there to distract me from the pain of it.

There is one thing I've learned: I prefer outlining, not coloring. EVEN MORE OUCH!


Ahh, happy day.
