Ouch! Happy, but ouch!  
so I'm now very cold. I'm sitting at my desk, in a skimpy vest that I bought specifially because it was skimpy (it was part of my costume when I dressed up as Faith for Fusion). It's cold, our office is like a wind tunnel and my shoulder aches a little.

It's not sore, more kind of... tight I guess.

For those of you who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I got my first tattoo today. Yay!

Once it's healed a little I'll get a picture taken of it and I'll post it up here so you can all go "ooo!" and "aaaah!" and "What a geek!" ...

*grin*

I won't lie. It hurt when it was getting done - it was kind of like having blood taken by a badly trained chimp - but it was the kind of pain that as soon as it stops you forget about it. Edit to add Not that I'm implying Kev was anything like a badly trained chimp, oh no, he was a consumate professional who was also rather easy on the eye...

Now, what to do for my next one....

You just want to see Kev again.

Well, I wouldn't object...

You are a braver woman than I. Every time I think about getting a tattoo I talk myself out of it with the arguement, "But will I want it in 50 years?" Also, not looking forward to the pain. What'd you get?

I've been wanting a tattoo for just around 9 years now. When I hit 21 I promised myself that if I still wanted one when I was 30 I'd get it for myself as a birthday present.

Voila, a month and a half before my 30th birthday and I still desperately wanted one so I went for it!

The design is very cool and also very geeky to a select group of people - when you see the picture you'll know what I mean....

It's not geeky!!!!
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on November 11th, 2004 04:28 pm (UTC)
Have I told you what it is? I can't remember if I did or not - I've been keeping it a secret from most people.

Hell, I think it's geeky and I've got it permanently inked into my shoulder blade now....

*grin*

You've told me what it is, or at least what you were planning to get. You asked somewhere if somebody could get a picture of it for you so that you could show it to Kev.

:)

Aha. Yes, so I did.

And it is geeky, but not many people will recognise it.

N'est-ce pas?

Come again?

Recognise the phrase but can't remember what it means.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on November 11th, 2004 04:54 pm (UTC)
really?

basically it means 'isn't it?' or 'doesn't it?' or 'is that so?'

That's why I love the french language sometimes - it's multi-functional!

Can't remember if you told me what it is... wanna see picture!

While standard English doesn't have an equivalent of "n'est ce pas?", the colloquial "isn't it" or "in'it?" serves the same function.

I just tried to take a photograph of the mirror but I was giggling too much...

I just told big sis she's duty-bound to take a photograph at the weekend so....

Sorry to keep you in suspense!

I definitely want to see this! I am far too cowardly to get a tattoo of my own! Plus, having ADD, I'd get tired of whatever I chose within two days of getting it! So I wanna see YOURS! I can live vicariously through you!

I keep rushing through to the bathroom just to stare in the mirror at it - my bosses are going to start thinking I've got a bladder infection or something!

I love it, I really do, and it's healing nicely already - it's hardly red at all now!
[identity profile] velvetwhip.livejournal.com on November 11th, 2004 04:11 pm (UTC)
LMFAO! A bladder infection? That's too funny!

There were times when I wanted to turn round and punch Kev (the tattooist) but he always seemed to know just when it got to that stage and stop what he was doing.

Sorry I wasn't online last night when you emailed me by the way, I was at big sis' house.
