I sat for my second session on the japanese quarter sleeve (as of this post, I will officially begin referring to it as a half sleeve. it grew). I sat for 6.5 hours, and it got to be quite painful by the end. We finished though, and I think it looks awesome. It'll take a day or two for me to get used to it, just as after the last session. But it definitely looks great. Tony Morrell at Jinx Proof kicks ass. If you're in the D.C. area, check him out. Here's a pic of the end product.
I get some more tattoo done on Friday the 13th. I'm so excited to get more, or maybe even finish it.
My job is royally fucked up. I can't believe how fast time passes when you are just looking forward to weekends. No wonder everyone grows old so fast. I don't know what to do about my future. I know I need to go back to school. but for what? Immunology and Oceanography are my big ideas right now. Pretty different huh? Goddammit.
There are way too many concerts going on this spring. So far I have scheduled Bloc Party, Elvis Costello, Ben Gibbard, Common, Talib Kweli, Lily Allen, and maybe the Winterpills. And I have negative monies.It's all just a trap to get you in the work system forever...with no out!

I have committed completely. I have 5 hours of a japanese sleeve on me now. It is amazing looking. It is my first tattoo. The outline didn't hurt. The shading and coloring did. It feels like a mild sunburn the day after. My parents are mildly to moderately supportive. The artist is Tony Morrell at Jinx Proof Tattoo in Georgetown (Washington, D.C.). He is super talented and awesome. A tad expensive, but only the best.
I have committed almost completely to a quarter sleeve tattoo. I've been to see the artist and talk about the design (taiwanese/japanese quarter sleeve made mostly of black and grey waves with a red sun setting at the top), I've deposited 50 bucks, made an appointment for the first sitting, and even told my parents about it. My dad is not into it, but didn't say a word (which is actually a bad thing) and my mom was very supportive, and just wanted to warn me about the pain involved. I'm supposed to sit for quite a few hours in about a week. I had to take off a Monday to get an appointment with this artist, and I'm kind of freaking out, cause my job is very physically active, and I'm worried that I won't be able to perform the various tasks without serious pain. Anyway....keep your fingers crossed, I'm hella excited.
