Lets see here, after much internal debate I've finally decided....I'm going to get my first tattoo next week! I'll totally admit that I'm a bit scared, but I'm sure the fear of pain is actually like, worse than the actual pain. Anyhoo, I'm going to get the Mandalorian Skull tattooed on my right shoulder blade.
For all you non nerds - it's a Star Wars thing. Think Boba Fett, he was a Mandalorian. The Mandalorians are a race of hardass warriors. In a nutshell of course.
I'm thinking of getting some type of bow tattooed just above the right upper side of the skull, not ON the tattoo, but like, just maybe a centimeter above it. Add my own touch! I know hard ass warriors don't wear bows, but the Mandalorians aren't um...female. But I am, so...the skull gets a bow. I don't know what type....maybe I won't even do a bow, but I want something that makes it a bit more feminine.
My boyfriends brother Bumper is a tattoo artist, and a pretty damn good one from what I've heard....he's actually moving to Las Vegas in the next couple months to start his own shop, and he's gonna be on the show Inked next season (I believe, this is from what I remember. I know he's going to be part of the show but not sure when). Anyways, so my tat will be free, which of course is awesome, but yeah! Really looking forward to it ^_^

Ry - Im the same way, if I hurt myself...or back when I used to, it didn't hurt at all. But the thought of someone drilling my back with ink makes me shiver. I just hope I don't wuss out
A little over a year ago I fell down two flights of stairs, landing right on the corner of one of the stairs...on my spine. It was honestly the worst pain I've ever felt in my life....I've never vomitted from being in pain, but lets just say it was pretty intense...I just thank god my boyfriend was around, he was taking a nap...and I just remember screaming loader than I ever have in my entire life. He came rushing to me, and about a minute later, I was puking because the pain was SO intense. I had to lay on the stairs for a good hour before my boyfriend finally coaxed me to actually try and get up to lay down on the bed. And...of course, being stubborn, I didn't go to the hospital that night like I should have, I put it off for a couple months actually, and now I'm going to be stuck with massive back pain for the rest of my life =/ *sigh*
Gee, I do ramble a lot. But I digress...
If I survived that terrible fall down the stairs, which was so bad I was convinced I had broken my spine...I got xrays done and again, thank you god...because from what I heard, full body casts suck >.>
Ah! I know why I'm rambling...I've been awake for over 24 hours. I think it MAY be time to hit the hay.
But like I was saying - if I was able to make it through almost becoming a fuckin paraplegic.....I think I'll be able to handle a little needle pokes =)
I'm sure as soon as I get my first tattoo, I'll be blogging about it. And I'll do my own pain factor rating on a scale from 1 to 10. I'm guessing it'll be around a 5 or a 6 for me, which I can totally handle
Okay, I think I just wrote a novel. Time for sleepies.
Thanks again for the words of encouragement Ry!
