Tattoo You (and me)

For a birthday gift this year, I'm getting inked again. Its been over 8 or 9 years since I've gotten one and the memory of how it feels hasn't faded for me. It freaking hurts. Anyone who says it isn't that bad is either lying or was hammered when they went.

Anyhow, I'm going on my birthday (this Friday) to get a very special tattoo. If I were to describe it, it would sound really odd, so I'll post a pic of it as soon as its done. Its for Patrick and my sister Kathy is getting it as well. I can't wait. This will be my 6th time going.

I'm actually considering asking my doctor for a lidocaine/novacaine patch thingy. I know, I know! Its totally whimpy. But I'm old now and pain is stressful.
