♪♫ Under Pressure - Queen
Today was pure amazing! I had to wake up early for my grandfather's birthday lunch (his birthday was actually two days ago). Before going to the restaurant, we stopped at the bank and the drug store to put in a prescription for my pills and get some stuff that I need. Then we went to Steak and Stein. They have the most amazing food. The only time I eat steak is when I go there. They have a special marinating sauce. I wish I knew what it was, but its a secret apparently. So after dinner, we picked up my prescription and went to the bread store (we don't have a bread store where I live - its just day old bread sold for cheap prices). Then finally, we got home. I had to rush showering and getting ready to go to my tattoo appointment.
I had to wait for half an hour when I got there, even though I arrived on time. Apparently he was piercing a girl's nose and there was some sort of complication. The entire time I was waiting, I felt like I was gonna pass out, puke or have a panic attack. My anxiety was through the roof. Then finally he came upstairs and it was time to get my first tattoo. I had to send the picture of what I wanted to his email, then he printed it off and used some special paper stuff to put the sketch on my wrist (but he shaved and sterilized my wrist first). He had to prepare everything, which took about ten minutes. So I was sitting there with my wrist on the table, trying to calm myself down. Finally he began and holy motherfucking hell it hurt like a son of a bitch. I scrunched my face up and froze solid. The pain went away halfway through and it wasn't that bad at all. He did an amazing job and now I wanna get a fuck ton more tattoos! Picture is below. Keep in mind that its still sore and puffy, so it will look better next week. :)
And no, it's not a name. It's something I believe in. It's inspired by the character John Locke from the show Lost. He truly made a big impact on my life. I know that I have a great destiny and my tattoo will remind me of that in moments when I feel like all hope is lost. I've wanted it for four years or more, so I won't be having any regrets. It is one of the most important things to me now. I'm just not looking forward to having people ask me who "destiny" is. That is why I went with a lower case "d". But the world is full of idiots...
We had to go to the grocery store afterwards to pick up a few more things and I just couldn't stop staring at my tattoo. But that can be a bad thing for me, because even though its well done, I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and I will pick out the tiniest flaws and let it drive me insane. I'm trying not to look at it for too long to avoid that. So yeah...I got a couple treats too; gold nail polish and a crossword scratch ticket. Oh and we went through the Wendy's drive-through so that I could get chili cheese nachos. Today is my cheat day. Back to healthy food tomorrow. When I got home, I put on the nail polish and its stunning. I didn't win anything on the scratch ticket though. :(
Only one thing left to say...
Happy birthday to Jared Padalecki!
I've written a blog on Jarebear's birthday every year since I started this blog. So I'm keeping the tradition alive. He is one of my favorite people ever. I just fucking adore him so much. And I won't forget the date I got my first tattoo either, because I always remember it was on Jarebear's birthday. ^_^ ♥

Love your tattoo!! I love really simple typography tattoos! Happy belated birthday to your grandpa :)
ReplyDeleteI think I have been the Crappy affie! been so uber busy with iceglow and trying to come up with a new design for ame-reverie. How you been hun?
ReplyDeleteAs for the eyelash growth - you can get them from measurable-difference.com
Another brand I highly suggest is TALIKA - talika.com
The steak and chips look so good! I loved eating steak with a good sauce.
ReplyDeleteYour tattoo looks really nice, I'm glad it's meaningful as well. I love it when people's tattoos have specific and/or personal meaning to them. I would've been so nervous, especially waiting for so long!
Woo happy belated birthday to Jared Padalecki!! I love Supernatural, it is my favourite show ever, no joke. He's so cute!!
Ah your tattoo looks so good! It's such a pretty design too, it'll be timeless and hard to regret when you're 80.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well!
Congratulations on your first tattoo!! I remember that feeling of terror and thinking I was going to pass out while I was waiting, but even though it hurt like hell I think I had worked it up to be so bad in my head that when it started it wasn't so bad!!
