I finally got another tattoo last Thursday.  It’s been 5 years since I last got a tattoo done, the stars on my chest by Paul Flintoff, and one of my goals this year was to get another.

My friend Shawzy works out of Adrenaline Tattoo and he was actually at the shop (Surface Bar) when I got my last one.  Another friend of mine Joe (who owned Surface Bar) also tattoos at Adrenaline now so I got to see his face too and catch up.

This was the first time I’ve actually been able to watch someone tattooing me.  The others I haven’t been able to see and the start on my ankle from Lyall, well that’s another story all together.  I don’t think I was…um…able to see by that point :)

Yes it hurts to get a tattoo, but I don’t think it’s that bad.  Definitely bearable and I find breathing and sitting really still is the key.  I’ve been told I sit really well and this one was no exception.

All done. Not the best pic

I’ll forgot to get a photo of the two of us, so when I go in take a photo once it heals, I’ll be sure to get one.

And guess what!  For the month of March Shawzy is going to give readers of kaponetwo a discount on small tattoos (around the size of mine and smaller)!  How awesome is that!
