So today is the day I get my tattoo. And I'm terrified. And excited. But mostly anxious. I just want it to be done.
I hate having monumental things happen late in the day because you have to endure the ENTIRE day thinking about it. It's so much better when the thing happens at like 6am and then you're good! Just bask in the glory of whatever happened for the rest of the day—big sighs of relief, eat tasty food, etc.
So basically, I'm going to try to pour myself into work as much as possible to take my mind off it. I'm buying some empanadas for lunch today from a place I've never been to. That should keep me occupied for a little while. Like a good Italian or dog—food keeps me happy for at least as long as it's in front of me. There are some other projects on the horizon (including building the lower half of a centaur for a movie, haha) that could use some brain power/planning. Perhaps when the empanadas run out at lunch, the centaur puzzle can fill the void. Otherwise, I'll just try to cram as much work as possible into the abbreviated work day. An idle mind wanders.
I've spent enough time fretting over how much this is going to hurt. It's only 2 hours. Can't be worse than child-birth. So if I ever plan to have kids, I better just suck it up and take this tattoo pain like a champ.
Pictures to come!

GOOD LUCK! I'm sure you'll be fine with the pain. From what I know from reading tattoo blogs, it's the worst for the first few minutes, and then it becomes much duller. And I think you can take breaks if you need to, and apparently sugary snacks and Gatorade (throughout the appointment) help you feel less light-headed or nervous or something.
Anyway, you probably know more than me since you're the one actually getting a tattoo!
I can't WAIT to hear about it and see pictures!!!
Thanks! I actually didn't know all that stuff but I'm glad I do now! Will definitely let you know how it goes.
