Another item on the Mission 30-ish list is checked off! Yesterday I went down and finally got my tattoo. The whole experience was...odd...awkward? Ben, the guy that did my tattoo looked like he was twelve. Baby face I tell ya. He was uber new it seemed too. Concentrated a lot which was good for me but left a lot of quiet moments. It's on my inner wrist, left arm and is much larger than I planned but I liked the design that they came up with (even though it took a few attempts) so I went ahead with it.
Thankfully, it didn't hurt as much as I expected! I wasn't sure what to expect really but Chrystal explained it perfectly. Imagine a pin being scratched along your skin. A little sharp, but bearable. When it was done, it felt like a bad sunburn. It was more a feeling of numbness that took over. The awkward part came after the job was done and they were trying to figure out what to charge me. I didn't know where to look. Since he seemed new, he didn't seem to know what to do either. Anyway, at the end of it, it was cheaper than I had expected, bigger than I expected and less painful then I expected! I didn't cry, or whine, but laughed and had a good time. What should I get done next? Decisions, decisions.
