MY NEW TATTOO EXPERIENCE

This is a common tattoo about mental health awareness. It's on the inside of my right arm by the wrist. Done yesterday by DNA Tattoo's.
Also done yesterday by DNA tattoo's was Pusheen eating a pizza.

This is actually a Tattoo I have wanted for years but now had the money do to so.

Well I'm happy with the work to say the least. The line work is awesome and the coloring is great.

However, the estimate of time was 90 minutes when I chatted with her on messenger. It ended up being 5 hours. I'm glad we had a set price before hand with this - if it was by the hour I'd never be able to pay it off in a lifetime - sigh.

Also she put off  the time of it several times and I ended up going there at 8 PM only because I was expecting she knew how long it would take and it would be close to the expected time.

The other thing is, I have had 2 others done in the past that are bigger than this one. Well sure I was 30 years younger at the time (about) and my skill more resilient. But... She would whip down the aria with paper towel after every run or two of the needle. She also pressed rather harder than she needed to press to do this. The end result is 24 hours after we started this, I am still swollen up and it's still painful. The other two I had no pain the next day or any swelling.

I have to say 40% of the pain from this was when I planned it out, I knew the tail would be over my wrist onto my hand. This was a rather silly oversight on my part. I should have realized the skin folds there and it's going to be a bother every time I move my hand until it's healed.

Now believe it or not I've seen a lot of tattoos done in videos (see I'm a YouTube expert after all - I've seen videos) and I have to say every one of them - the fill work was done with much bigger circles. This may have been part of why it took so darn long.

I'm seriously happy with the work though. She was excellent at tattooing. Just the lingering swelling and pain that is an issue. OK the extreme time it took was also an issue for not only my time gone, but as for the person who grove me being pissed off it took so long - this is another blog.

Supposedly she has been doing this for some time now, so she would know about how long she will be. As well, she should realize all the rubbing hard on wounded skin is something you should not be doing. Oh well - if it manages to heal right and the tail is not messed up from the skin folding as it heals, I'll love this freaking thing for the rest of my life. The price was also right. I found it to be a good deal.

In the end I'd recommend her, but DO ask her to not rub so hard when she whips. Also plan on being there longer.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
