I need to make more friends in the tattoo industry. Hehe....It's really the

only way to get into it.

There is a new tatoo/piercing shop on Commercial Street in Provincetown,

too. I'd probably be a little nervous about this...but I personally know

the guy that is running it, and he does absolutely AWESOME work. His mother

is an EMT on our Squad. The girl that is working with him is also an

excellent tatoo-er (is that a word????).

What kind do you have? and I got a band of small, curved, blade-like

tribal designs that just repeat around in a band. They kinda look like a

stylized leter V with a hook to one side...Hard to describe in writing. For

the color around it there is a light blue and it's colored in to look

very...painterly. Kinda like crayon I guess...It's not a sharp fill around

the black tribal with a distrinct outline...more like a scribbled in look.

Then around the top and bottom of the blue is a purple that is also the

scribbled crayon look. I love the way it is. It's not your typical look

for a tribal tattoo.

Re: Weight Loss Breeds Spontaneity

Back to tatoos. I have 1...and I'd like to get at least one more...but I'm

afraid to do it now, being just post-op. What about when I lose weight, and

the skin hangs or whatever? I know it would depend on where the tatoo

is...but I think for now I'm just going to get the one I have

re-colored...it has faded over the years...and then figure out what I want

for down the road.

Hehe...Pain doesn't usually bother me. I'd rather have real pain that one

Weight Loss Breeds Spontaneity

Yesterday afternoon I was pretty bored so I started thinking about what I

want to do in the future when I lose all my excess weight. One thing I have

always wanted to do is to become a tattoo artist. Now, I didn't have any

tattoos. I was looking around on the web yesterday at tattoo shops in RI

around where I used to live...And out of the blue decided " Damnit, I want a

tattoo " . How can I ever hope to become a tattoo artist when I haven't even

experienced it myself. So as soon as got home I grabbed her and we

headed to a little shop in Middletown that I had been in before. It was

about 9pm when we got there. and I decided to get matching 'bands'.

Mine is around my forearm and hers is around her bicep. It ended up we were

the last two people there and we got started at 10:30. The owner closed the

shop and left at Midnight and we were there with the tattoo artist <A really

nice guy> and a couple of his friends. We were just hanging out in this

closed tattoo shop getting inked till 5:30 in the morning. Hehe...I also

got my eyebrow pierced. These are things I've wanted to do for years but my

weight and issues with being in public really prevented it. But aparantly

I'm getting over my issues. Life is great. I'm down 73 pounds now at

almost 7 weeks out. Unfortunately I can't go swimming for 2 weeks because I

can't go in chlorinated water. Blah!

I used to live in Navy Housing accross from what used to be the bar called

" The Lighthouse " ...Not the new one...I used to live in the Navy Housing

while all those other houses were still falling apart. I lived on Maffit

St. I also lived on Ave. in Newport. When you first get into

Newport from West Main. Road...where it turns to Broadway...It was the left

right across from the first Cumberland Farms you come to on the left. That

road is Peckam, but it turns a little and become Ave.

software...So it's the lesser of two evils. Thanks Cheryl!

Welcome to the world of the tattooed!! LOL Watch out now, cuz they are

tattoos. (chinese symbol for sisters) Piercings can be addictive too so

Coming in late on this conversation...I was away for the 4th.

Tuesday after work, I too got spontaneous and travelled to New

Hampshire for my very first tattoo!! It is a green shamrock with my

daughters name under it. I got it on my left shoulder blade. I have

to say the pain was a lot more than I expected, but once they start

you can't stop, so I just tried to deal with it. No tears!!

I can't say that I am ready to run and get another one just yet, but

hey. I saw a few others on the wall that I really liked, so I just

might someday. I have always wanted something small on my ankle,

like a doplhin or something. And actually, once I eventually get a

TT, I plan on getting my belly button pierced. Maybe a tattoo around

it too???

Congratulations on your tattoo and Too. Believe me I know

how it feels. Now I am just trying to keep it moist and not freak

when I see the color flaking a bit. I have to say it came out really

nice.
