So here it is....




It's on the inside of my right leg, right above my ankle.

I forgot how amazing it feels to have tattoo work done. The place I was originally going to go to, where I had a fucking APPOINTMENT... decided they were gonna close. So I got there, no one was there. I waited for about an hour, and no one showed up. So I said fuck it, and drove to White Plains to Big Joe and Sons Tattooing. I got there around 4:45, and the guy who was gonna do it for me had a 5 o'clock appointment, so I went out and got some food and hung out in Barnes and Noble, and went back around 6, like he told me, since he'd said he would be done by 6:30. He wound up finishing at 7:45, and he finally got me in to work on it. We talked about Japanese horror movies and music and shit. He was really cool. I think I'm gonna go to him for the rest of my tattoos, since I totally lost faith in the place I was going to to begin with.

The moment I sat in the chair, I was getting goosebumps. From the first time a needle hit my skin for my first tattoo, I was hooked. It's the most amazing rush in the world, and I can't get enough of it. Sure, it hurt like hell. Especially because part of it was on my shin bone. Yeah. That KILLED. But the feeling is indescribable. I can't wait for my next one.

It looks awesome :)
I don't know what it is about getting tattooed but it seriously is addicting. I got my first one a few months ago and I am itching to get more. Mine is on the back of my neck and it like vibrated my entire spine and it was the coolest feeling in the world. I totally know what you mean by indescribable.

Sexy ink there, bud!

Re: getting hooked. I'm the same exact way. After I got my first one, I was addicted. It's an incredible rush.

When I got my ankle one done, my foot twitched when the needle went over the bone. It was fantastic.

PS. Nice shave job. ;)

Duuude, I am totally with you. I love tattoos. I really want to get some more, I've gotta o figure out something cool. I might do a horse with the names of one of mine or something, I really don't know...or something wicked neat. Who knows.

Yours is badass, very cool!

I've only been to one suckass place, which is now no longer there (I wonder why...?! haha).
