Yes, it hurt. I will admit it. For over 2 hours I sat in the same exact position, trying not to cringe or tense up from the ouch. My other ones, I did not think hurt much, but this one did. Dave Martinez from Addictive Ink did it - he has been featured in many national publications, won awards and etc. It took months to get a consultation and then months more to get the appointment.Not being able to have a ritual like visiting and keeping up my parents' graves, having this tattoo means a lot to me.
Lately I have been crafting a lot more, like the 'old me'. I took a gawdy old brass lamp we got for free and painted it a hammered grey/tan color like hammered metal. Looks cool. I am getting more into decoupage and next will try a technique that is supposed to make any flat surface look like old stained leather. We'll see! HGTV has been great for ideas.
I will be working tomorrow through Thursday, all day, and then next week Sunday through Thursday again. Don't know anything about the film and never heard of any of the actors - but it's work!
I also finished my study course for real estate and now just need to study for and take the licensing exam. Yea!
That night I made myself a birthday cake and blew out 34 candles! Yikes! I think pretty soon I won't be able to use that many candles. It's difficult for one person to light so many, you know, and finish before the first candle is a glob of wax on the frosting.
