Mid-Life Crisis? UPDATED WITH TATTOO PHOTOS!

Another half-arsed post from me,

as I just pulled an all-nighter, photo editing project

for an editor friend.

Today is sort of a big day too, 

as I have a visit to the dentist,

I have an article to complete for another publication,

and.....

 sometime later this afternoon,

I'll be getting my very first tattoo,

a variation on the one you see above!

It will be above my ankle rather than on my foot.

Mid-life crisis?

Perhaps.

But it's my ( mid ) life, and by golly,

I'm gonna take the plunge.

It's also highly likely that I'll be taking handfuls

of Ibuprofen and / or Xanax, too...

I'll report back on Facebook later! 

Edited to add...

I DID IT!

And it wasn't really bad at all!

Here are the iPhone pics at the tattoo parlor...

just gettin' started. so far, so good.

got a royal laugh at my bestie Troy Rash of 

 Junk Exchange

who posted this comment to my FB wall during the tattoo...

" i can't believe you walked into a place that begins with CHAOS 

and threw your leg up to a complete stranger and said 

'here, stab me with a needle like a bazilllion times' ..

Oh, how I love my sweet Troy!

I promptly phoned him and let him hear the buzzzzz of the needle!

  And voila!

 

The finished product.

Still a little red, as it's brand new, but it's healing nicely.

Might go back later and get the Nikon logo added.

It was a breeze, I'd tell anyone hesitating out of fear,

go for it! You just sort of zone out to it and then the endorphins

kick in. Trust me, stepping on a sticker hurts a LOT worse.

No more tats for this girl, 

I think one is plenty. :-)
