As promised…
I had an iris flower added to my collection, coming down onto my forearm. What I absolutely love is that my old butterfly tattoo from 2002 had a reworking! It wasn’t the best quality tattoo in the world to begin with, and after sixteen years it had become a bit of a blur:
My arm as a whole is looking pretty floral now:
Thanks to Raven at Sakura Tattoo for my flower garden. I’m sure I’ll be in again when the tattoo itch next strikes…
So I finally had the not-so-badly-timed-after-all tattoo appointment this afternoon. I have a beautiful new addition to my arm piece that I will be telling you all about tomorrow, after I’ve cleaned it up and taken some pictures.
I’m super happy with it but also super tired now – three hours around the elbow will do that. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a nice early night and a good sleep after a few days of staying up late.
So, I was all set for the world’s worst timed tattoo appointment! I had plenty of water to drink and some chocolate to make sure my blood sugar levels were good. I got all my stuff done (housework, work emails, TV catchup, watching the Groundhog Day live feed from Punxutawney – six more weeks of winter, apparently, though I’m not 100% sure how accurate these predictions are for Punxutawney, let alone the rest of the Northern Hemisphere). I had my idea for the tattoo addition all ready in my head, and then I paced up and down for the last twenty minutes before I had to leave the house, and then I bumped into Geth on the way out to the tattoo parlour and was able to catch up about his morning at work for a minute, and then I went to the cash machine and got cash out to pay for the tattoo.
And then I went to the tattoo parlour, and my tattooist realised she’d put the wrong date on my appointment slip. It’s actually next Tuesday.
At least I was able to start Non-Dry February a few hours earlier than planned. New cider posts coming soon!
