Tattoo?

[elusivek]

On a whim, I decided to forge ahead and do what I promised myself I would do when I turned 30. And that's to get a tattoo.
While at the same time I do understand that tattoos are immensely personal, it's gonna stay there forever unless I do removal stuff (laser?) and that it hurts like sh*t, so I never got around doing it, coz I couldn't find something that I really wanted to have.

What prompted it was... Since I'm going to Seoul in December, a couple friends mentioned at Seoul Tattoo parlours are very good, good artists, good many things. But of course, outrageous prices (they say, I don't even know the going rate).

Anyway, after much mulling about... I didn't want to get a tattoo while traveling. Who knows what if I get some kind of allergic reaction during the trip?

So I decided it's gonna be in town. And then I've had an idea floating for a while already, and I've actually mulled it for 2 years already. And in these 2 years, I couldn't think of anything else. So I've decided. That's what I'm going to get.

Nope. Not telling yet. I'm going to say it's simply a quote tattoo, but placement and what quote, I'll reveal later.

I've found a tattoo parlor in Macau that has pretty good reviews. Their designs are really pretty too. But then I'm just getting a quote, virtually no design on their part. I did say font/print/lettering up to them though. They've returned a quotation for me and booked me in for a pre-tattoo consultation on Sunday. So I'm going to see them Sunday. Maybe they're going to give me an overview of what will happen, what to do with after care, etc etc.

whheee!
