Oh No She Didn't!

I got myself inked!

I'm definitely a local now I've spent the morning in the tattoo parlour with the local boys. Out of every shop and restaurant spill the locals, coming to see what you'r doing, where you are going.

While I was being branded forever with this beautiful pair of birds, I was surrounded by small children, completely transfixed on what was going on and maybe on this plump white woman pulling goofy faces and swearing under her breath.

Yes it hurt but not nearly as bad as I had expected. I didn't sleep at all last night partly out of fear, part excitement.

But I am so glad I have done this.

The bird on the right, for the record is called Dorothy, and on the left, his name is Constantine. They represent freedom and happiness, both the things I feel right now.
