Little Cozy Corner

TGIF peeps!!! Wuah….this waiting game can really kill lar. Waiting for a whole week, stopping myself from posting up these pictures has been a tough act! :whew: But I’m glad its finally Friday. Today’s edition is VERY special because I.AM.COMPLETE ~ at least for now.

As many of you know, I got the tattooed image of my fairy done last month [12 May 2006, to be exact] and last Saturday [10 June 2006], after my first fairy was all nicely peeled and healed, I scheduled to tattoo my second fairy. I expected it to be a breeze just like my previous piece but boy, was I wrong! I’ve always thought that my tolerance level for pain was rather high but this piece proved me wrong. :worried I’m not even sure why. Maybe coz’ I wasn’t as excited about it as the first one or maybe the gap between the first fairy and this one was too close so, the body hasn’t really recovered, maybe coz’ the left shoulder isn’t as ’strong’ as my right, or maybe it was just plain freaking painful! I knew it was going to be a painful ride the minute I felt the first drag of the needle. It was pain, pain, pain all the way but tolerable pain lar. I mean, I’d be a total liar if I said that it didn’t hurt one bit but for this piece, it hurt a little more than the normal lar. According to Fun, for him it was easier and faster to tattoo but for me, not at all! May have been easier for him but it hurt me more plus the fact that it took nearly 4 freaking hours because we were constantly interrupted throughout the process! :grouch: I was not amused but I didn’t want to disrupt his attention further by stating my dissatisfaction. I mean the guy was inking me for LIFE, ok? So I just sucked it in and held on to every ounce of patience that I had within me. :rolleyes:

But doesn’t matter, obviously I survived th pricking and I’m back on my feet again. And here ladies and gentleman, the COMPLETE me, my twin fairies. :dancing: No pain, no gain.

First the designed is stencilled on. Took a long time to measure and make sure that the piece was aligned with the opposite fairy but I didn’t mind. As long as not senget [uneven]! :tongue:

Me wincing almost every bit of the way, even Narnia didn’t help that much. :doh:

The finished ME! :dancing: :party: :whew:

I ABSOLUTELY love his body…:daydream: I just wanna run my hands all over his inked skin…. *lets out an orgasmicbitetonguedownomfgi’mnutsoveryourbodyshiftyliuliuliu sigh* :drool:

Would it scare you if I told you that I already have a few tattoos in line just waiting to get inked on me? :devil: I did? Good!

Note : This entries was written from my personal point of view on tattoos and MY understanding on MY faith. Plus on some research too. Do keep in mind that I do not claim to be an expert in this matter. And remember, to tattoo or not is YOUR choice.

Lilian had posted on an issue I hold close to my heart, it is something I love and dare say, my passion. To tattoo or not to tattoo, that was her post. But I, however have different opinions about this matter.

I’ve loved tattoos and body art for as long as I can remember. I thank my Daddy for being the first person to introduce me to body art ~ he had a few on him too. The sad thing is I can’t really remember what they were except the one of Jesus on his left upper arm. That was really cool!! I remember touching and gazing those art many, many times. Couldn’t wait to grow up and get my very own. And I finally did at the age of 26. [See my ink here.] And it took me another 2 years to decide on the next tattoo I wanted which I incidently got done yesterday.

I know that there are many qualms about getting tattooed where religion is concerned. Lilian’s post pretty much put it straight forward that tattooing oneself defiles ‘the temple of the Living God’. I am a proud Catholic and I made sure I did my homework [and a lot of it too] before I got my tattoo done. I’m not one to jump into something permanent without doing some research and finding out the pros and cons about something and in this case, getting my tattoo done. I have to thank Bro. Ignatius for answering my question, ‘Are tattoos taboo in the Catholic faith?’ I got one answer :

Bottomline: unless the tattoo is vulgar, blasphemous, promotes/glorifies sin, the demonic or the occult, or encourages or promotes any other immoral or unChristian act or thought, it is not in-an-of-itself a sin. Read here for detailed answer. [Vanity and pride is also talked about here.]

:dancing: YES!!! It’s finally done!! Half my tattoo is finish and I’m SO VERY teh happy with it. I cannot wait to get healed and go back to get done again!! I love body art, you know? Did I ever mention it?? :thinking: Bwaahahaha…..

Appointment was fixed at 2pm and I arrived 15 min early [Was too excited, couldn't wait anymore] with Mummy and Sis in tow. They followed me for fun plus I needed a pair of extra hands to take the pix or you wouldn’t have the chance of taking a peek at me getting inked! By the time Fun got my design stenciled out, it was 3pm when he started work on me. I wanted to distract myself and it was a good thing that I brought my Chronicles Of Narnia [Book 4] along as I read 3/4 of while getting inked. [The most I ever read in one seating!]

The whole process took 3.5 hours with 3 breaks of 10 mins in between for both of us to stretch our legs and for Fun to take a puff. To cut the story short and to anwers most of the question which I know will be coming in :

• Yes, it does hurt. But pain is relative.

• No, I was not bleeding profusely although the needle was pricking me 3000 - 5000 times per minute. But blood, there was.

• I paid a good price for the work done. I am extremely pleased with the results and cannot wait to go back hopefully next month to complete the mirror image of my left shoulder. Mr. Fun RAWKS!! :peace:

Now, I’ll let the pix do the talking :

3/4 done after 2 hours of non-stop inking. Mr Fun and I took some time off to stretch our legs for a bit.

Getting inked by the master himself ~ notice me reading my Narnia book? [Fun's got hair to die for!! :daydream: I am SO teh jeles!! It's bum long and no split ends...*sigh blissfully*]

The end result after 3.5 hours. Totally painfully AWESOME! O yea…:cowgal: [Can't wait to get my mirror image.... :drool:]

So, what d’ya think? Nice? :thinking: [Btw, my first tattoo will also be undergoing some touch up soon, see how faded it is?? Yuck!]
