Day Four At the Office Pt.2

Hello friendly drinkers!
Today I got some more ink done on my sleeve (work in progress). A long time ago I got a tattoo on my left arm around my biceps (horrible tribal design) and for years since I have wanted to get it either fixed up or covered up. At the end of last summer I decided to go see the ink artist that was currently doing my older brothers arm tattoo and my sister in law's tattoo as well; I really liked the work that I saw so I took upon myself to make an appointment for a consult with Dan Cameron (at the time was working out of Immaculate Concepts) and we were able to set something up. I went ahead with getting the cover up but decided it would be worth it just to get my entire left arm done, it seemed like the right thing to do so the rest of the arm wouldn't feel left out:)

I sat for around four hours today and towards the end I'll admit, it started to feel a tad bit raw. I have a pretty high pain threshold but after the third hour I start to get bored and feel the urge to watch the artist go to town on my skin with a motor powered needle poking in and out, over and over again. Needless to say I start to feel uncomfortable and think it's best to retire that session and wait anxiously for the next available appointment. It's funny how we (people who enjoy tattoo's) can't wait to get it over and done with while we're experiencing the whole tattoo tradition; yet when it's all done, we literally can't wait to get back in and either get the rest finished or get something new done. I guess crazy really is as crazy does; this being said, I must be an absolute nut!

Nothing but beer bongs!
