I Has Tattoo: Day 5

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Shower this morning: scabs come off.  Not the most glamorous part of getting a tattoo. Other not-glamorous parts: having some other dude getting a tattoo in the same room, causing me to perform some acrobatics with my shirt and bra so as to expose my back without exposing any parts that would embarrass either of us; discovering that the bandages seemed to be made of that plasticky stuff they put under the ground beef when you buy it in the styrofoam tray fresh from the butcher; becoming remarkably adept at the non-flash shirt strip when people ask if they can see it.

 

Immediately after the scabs come off: IT IS THE ITCHING APOCALYPSE.

 

pixel39 recommends a good slap, which is what I do on skeeter bites. That may work.

On the plus side, bras are back in the picture.  Not wearing those just added bonus back pain.

 

The things I do to decorate myself.
