Comments and tattoos

I love comments. The last three posts have been because some one has posted comments. Mostly it is Andru who comments. I'm not a regular poster (as you can tell) but if someone is reading I'll keep writin'

The tattoo turned out better than I had hoped. It's in the final phase of the scab falling off. I'm a bit undecided about posting a picture of it on the internet. It is nice to think that I have the only tattoo that looks exactly like this (although the design was influenced by two other tattoos). Everyone asks if they hurt. The actual tattoo itself doesn't hurt that much.... if feels like ssome one is scratching the skin with a piece of metal. The worst part is trying to get to sleep that first night. Even the gentle touch of the bed sheets hurt. The other drawback is wearing long pants atwork the first two days (the tattoo is on my calf). The constant rubbging make it red and angry. A point to note for future reference... if you get a tattoo near a joint and it is large with lots of colour then expect the joint to swell a bit.... if the swelling is red then it is infected, if not then it is just a natural response from the body to the tattoo. If you really want to see it let me know and I'll email you a picture.
