Well well! I lost my tattoo convention virginity this weekend. They're strange things tattoo conventions.
It felt nice not to be stared at because I was weird but to be stared at because of the tattoos but I felt VERY under tattooed for the first time in ages!
It was cool to see other people get inked by amazing artists and the atmosphere was strange, kinda like a tattoo studio but with about 6,000 people in it.
I met up with Jessika and her lovely boyfriend before almost getting lost on the way to Brick Lane, it definitely isn't the easiest place to find.
Briefly met some of the SG's that were floating around and I'd just like to say that Elf is possibly the tiniest most cutest lil thing!
Quite how anyone stayed in the building all day without apssing out managed it I don't know, you all deserve a medal...or at least a bottle of water.
Saw a guy get tattooed in the old school tapping methody thing (I don't know what it's called and I'm too tired to find out), it looked really painful, time consuming and I will definitely be giving it a miss, good on the guy having it done though, you've got more bottle than me!
People kept stopping Jessika for her photo which provided some comedy value as the first guy to stop her had almost his entire face tattooed.
My knuckles are healing ok, they were monstrously sore the day after they were done, hands in pockets are a really fucking stupid idea with freshly tatooed knuckles. Everyone whi's seen them love them which is also nice. They're pretty visible at the minute so I'm hoping they'll fade a lot more before I go back to work.
I went to Camden in the morning before the convention and did a spot of shopping, not too much damage done so all is well. I bought a pair of shoes from office,
and a pair of jeans that mean I'm parading around with knuckle dusters on my ass. Which is never a bad thing.
And I also have a cute underwear set that looks like this...
I'm getting a bit antsy about tatoos at the minute as well, I've got so many I've already got and need to finish but also so many more that I want to start.
Gah, what to do!
Having my cheeks pierced and hair done tomorrow, a whole new me, yay!
I've been travelling pretty much all day so I've got absolutely no sense of humour hence the long waffling update....
Have a picture of possibly the coolest pants this side of durham....
