Bob’s Red Mill and some Tom Waits on the stereo. Not Black eyed peas, but I’m not really one for traditions.
I cause general havoc.
Getting ready to get tattooed is a ritual not unlike getting ready to go race bikes. Shaving the body part to be tattooed (the artist will appreciate not having to shave you, so go in prepared), making sure you get a good meal, staying hydrated the days before hand. I like to have something to snack on during the procedure as I learned from a Dave Bruel blog post a ways back. Usually my snacks are also bike snacks, 1 because they are readily available at the house, and 2 I know how my body handles them under duress. The picture above is what Justin has already done up to now. The next post is where I think we’re gonna work on today. I’ll put up some progress pictures during the day.
