Tattoo

One week ago, I got a tattoo. It was done at Defiant Tattoo on Lyndale, next to Eye of Horus, by a guy named Scot who has magnificent dreadlocks. According to the aftercare handout he gave me, I have one more week before I can go into a pool again.

People told me that it would hurt.

It didn't. Not really - I mean I've had pulled muscles that hurt worse than that, and it doesn't last.

People told me that it would itch.

It hasn't really itched. Not enough for me to feel like scratching it.

So yeah. Tattoo experience: two thumbs up.



I got the tattoo of the White Tree of Gondor from Lord of the Rings. It has symbolism... basically hope springs eternal, all that type of stuff. If you would like to know more, talk to me about it.

It feels like it has always been there, but now it just shows up. That is a pretty damn cool feeling.
