well, all in all, my b-day was fun!

got to have nice, warm, mushy sex for lunch....of course, sitting in my
next class with damp tights and panties was a bit uncomfie ;)

went to dinner at shogun, a japanese restaurant where they cook at your table...
the whole table is one big skillet....they play with the knives, and throw
them around....you know, the whole time i kept thinking how there were some`
people from a.s.b you just couldn't take into this restaurant...like
lothie ;)  

then we went for my b-day tattoo...it is the same blackwork vine that is
around my ankle and wrist....it goes from my right armpit, curls
over the top of the breast, down the inside, under, down my side, along the
curve of my hip, and down into my leg....we outlined the whole thing....
then colored in the top half..it will be finished for my x-mas present

talk about pain!  talk about adrenalin!  talk about sitting in an examining
chair with only your panties on, freezing and shaking from adrenalin for 
nearly 5 hours!

if you want real pain, get a tattoo that hits the major pain spots like
1)the skin near your armpit (feels like a hot razor blade)
2)the skin between your breast (hits nerve endings that make your elbows
  feel on fire)
3)under you breast on the ribs (completely undescribable)
4)on the tickle sensors on your side (doesn't tickle, but your body thinks
	it is going to, so it keeps spasming)

B
the adrenalin was fun....when it got bad i worked on breathing, and 
floating out of my head...i had bearest rubbing my feet and legs to keep
them warm and to provide a distraction....biting my thumb helped too...
but the pain was so different for every centimeter of skin that it shocked
me every time....

speaking of shock, don't let your earrings touch the metal part of the chair
if you are touching the tattooer....talk about shock....we took them out
real fast!

at one point the adrenalin shakes were so strong, we just had to stop...
i chugged a pepsi in about 4 minutes....the sugar helped a lot...wandered
around the store naked in front of her male receptionist and his friend...
stretched out..and then back to THE CHAIR...

somtimes when we paused, i almost dreaded starting up again....especially
on the ribs....but, hey, with a little willpower, you can conquer anything..
that and the thought that if you don't do it now, you will have to do
it some other time..and that's probably the area taht they will start with...

the next part shouldnt' be so bad....all the single needle work is done..
and the second half is already outlined...and since it's on my butt and leg, 
it doesn't hurt nearly as much.....so nice to have th worst part over!  
even thought it was less than 24 hours ago, i can look back on the pain and
not think it was so bad....

nothing like being topped by a needle....i told wanda she was actually a top
at heart....she blushed, and denied it furiously :)

had a small problem getting dressed this morning..i found my elastic pants
are very painful where they hit the tattoo on my waist...a nice little
pad of paper towels fixred that....but definately no bra for a long while! 

i'm still feeling very exhaused....and really ravenous....i feel ike
someone pummeled me wiht their fists, even where i wasn't tattooed (since
i was twisted into rather funky positions in that chair)

so, warm hugs to all...i'm happy...it feels so good to be worn out, warm
and about to be fed....

sign me contented, 
tanha
