Hole-y Me, Batman. Twice.

I got pierced last night. Twice.

They're kind of hiding in my goatee.

It was a most unusual sensation to be sure. It didn't hurt. It felt like someone was pulling a hair out slowly. Which possibly could have happened since we had to go through my goatee.

This is the first thing I've had pierced in at least 10 years. I no longer have any of those piercings. I was never a big fan of piercings. But I have been thinking about this particular piercing for at least 4 years. I always liked how the piercing looked on David Draiman (the lead singer of Distubed).

I don't know how well I can pull of a similar look, but I do like the talons.

Until next time...

Best.Tattoo.Commercial.

This is a commercial for an Austin, Texas tattoo studio.

Much awesomeness.

Hat tip to Marisa Kakoulas DiMattia at Needles and Sins.

Until next time...

On Poking Another Blogger

I had the delightful joy of giving Sandy from Casita Klatsch a big tattoo this week:

I'll let him tell you about it's meaning.

I'm certain a fun time was had by all.

And I'm fairly sure he thinks I'm a sadist now too.

Until next time...

Sometimes Even I Just Shake My Head

All I have to say is that at least it's better than the UPC-A barcode of old.

Found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/webkeika/sets/72157623667942281/.

(For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a QR Code.)

On second thought, maybe I'll tattoo one on my butt. For advertising purposes.

Until next time...

Pain is Relative?

I was tattooing on a 17-year old client. (Yes, 17.) She had a band-aid on her arm. She asks her mother to take it off of her, which she does, with a yank. The girl says "Oww!" The mother says "You're getting a tattoo, and that hurt?"

I giggled.

Pain is both relative, and caused by relatives.

Until next time...
