i get another tattoo in 10 days.
it has been a little over a year since my last tattoo, but thankfully the duration between dates of ink is getting smaller. i went a ridiculous time (i think, 3 years?) between my first tattoo and second. that is unacceptable. why do i put it off so long?
i’m a bit anxious, quite frankly, but that’s ok. it’s the good, fluttery, excited kind of anxiety that comes right before a session. and 10 days out, i’m surprised i haven’t completely freaked out about it before now. it’s a happy freakout…i’m about to change! yay! i will have something awesome (and knowing my artist, fucking gorgeous) all to myself — a part of myself — forever and ever! double-yay!
at any rate, this is one of the last times i’ll be going around with one awesome foot (my beautiful, beautiful right foot) and one stupid foot (the unadorned-except-for-anklet left foot). the used to match, then i got probably one of my best tattoos ever, and soon, they will match again!
it’s going to hurt like a motherfuck, and it’s going to itch about a week-and-a-half in, but oh man…i cannot contain myself i’m so excited!
this is a very good thing.
