Don't tell Mum....!

Here I am after my first sitting. 4 hours of quite manageable pain.

Having Alexander with me for moral support most definitely helped but it really wasn't the horror story that I'd built up in my head. I just imagined that he was drawing on my skin hard with a Bic Biro & the buzzing, that might normally strike fear into the heart of men, was actually quite hypnotic & almost sent me to sleep!

Mitch, the tattooist, was just so nice & re-assuring & actually complimented me on my ability to remain still, especially around the "painful" rib area.

Caroline really was right afterall, my pain threshold is most definitely at a high level!

I'm actually quite looking forward to my next sitting in a months time when all the black shading gets done.

Just don't tell Sandra....
