So, Friday is the big day. At 2:00 I have an appointment to get my first tattoo. I love the design, and I was very picky about the location. I'm using Tori's tattoo guy, so I feel secure in his ability and cleanliness.
But . . .
Every time I mention where I'm getting my tattoo people freak out. Yes, I'm getting it on the back of my neck, known to be one of the most painful places to get a tattoo.
At lunch with Tori yesterday, I mentioned that Bonnet told me to make sure I eat well before going. Apparently, Bonnet passed out when having her tattoo colored in a few years back. "Yeah," Tori says, "but Bonnet . . . " Later, she confesses the ending would have been, "Has her tattoo in one of the worst places."
So, last night I pulled out a sewing needle and jabbed it into the back of my neck repeatedly in the general area the tattoo will go. I tried a little needle. I tried a big needle. Yeah, it hurt, like some idiot was sticking a needle in my neck. But it wasn't horrible. And yes, I do realize that when that same needle is poked in hundreds of times in close proximity, it will hurt worse.
But I'm not so worried today.

Mine is on the lower back (before they called it a tramp stamp!) and it goes all the way down my tale bone to the ass crack. It took 3 1/2 hours to get. You get kinda numb after a while. You will be fine.
