What an incredibly long day. All admin aside (it’s really not that much of a big deal to discuss) I was awake at 5:30 am yesterday. which meant a very, very long day for me.
Had breakfast with a friend who is moving to Australia today. Big move. Then misjudged my timing and thought it was 9:45 but it was actually 8:45. An entire hour early. Anxious and waiting for the tattoo parlor to open.
Eventually it opened and I was the first in. First come, first serve. And I was first.
I’m not going to blab on too much. I must say though, this one hurt, alot. I had forgotten how much it could hurt. And I had underestimated the pain relative to the size of the actual tattoo. So before I bore you, here’s the gallery.

Nic, serious question:
when do you plan on having the word “arsehole” tattoed on your forehead?
okay, that wasn’t really a serious question.

Seriously cool, but Jesus Christ on crutches you sat through four hours of agony to get that. Did you swallow any Myprodol before hand or was it neat? Eish!

Nope, no painkillers, no anything, just a bottle of water and the 4 hour hotseat!
