The Tattoo Chronicle Pt. 2

Today was the final episode of the Tattoo Chronicle. I got there 1t 2PM and he didn't finish until 9PM - 7 hours! So, yesterday was 4 1/2 hours and today was 7 hours, which equals 11 1/2 hours all together! Eeek! Overall, it was OK. But, there were some times where I was in an intense amount of pain and trying very hard not to cry out. The lower back and the areas on the spine were brutal. I was on this strange chair contraption that forced me to be in a submissive kneeling position at all times and I had to hold my arms in front of me in a way that was kind of like praying - call me a dweeb, but it was kind of a spiritual experience. There were moments of intense pain, but in between those were moments of clarity and lucidity. I mean, people do all kinds of things to reach a spiritual place, right? Indian sweats, fasting, walkabout, long journeys, abstaining, etc. etc.


I have turned myself into art!


He told me he was going to enlarge this photo and hang it at the entrance of the shop.


He made me feel like a piece of cheese and he was the cheese-grater, but look we are still buddies!
