Should you ever find yourself in Glendale, Newcastle, NSW, Australia pop into the Crossroads Tattoo Studio and get some ink - the guys there are amazing and seriously talented.

My latest piece of ink is by Brock (very shy man with warm hands and thighs) and it's a full custom piece, totally hand drawn.  I'm hopelessly in love with it and very, very happy.  Was a very surreal experience, took over an hour to get all drawn up and then another 4.5 hours for it to be completed.  Many a time I had to be propped back up on the chair as I was falling off while snoozing and I know I came to with a start on at least 2 occasions!!  There's something about the noise that sends me to sleep, works like the drill at the dentist - I always end up snoozing at the dentist.

Managed to totally embarrass myself by moaning like a whore whenever he rubbed Vaso into my back, it felt so damn good and I just know I was moaning and arching back into his hands - how embarrassing is that???  Especially as Hope was sitting in the other room waiting for me!  Still, not as embarrassing as when we were both singing to Love Shack on the radio!  Brock was doing the male bits and I was doing the female bits!!  Was bloody hysterical and definitely helped to pass the time.

I'm completely desperate to get back over there and get the damn thing finished though, just as he'd finished Brock mentioned loads of other little bits he could do to complete it and damn it! I want it done now!!!

Overall I'm a very happy bunny and can't wait for it to stop scabbing, there's still one very, very stubborn bit that won't quite peel.

As an aside - I'm still in absolute agony, fucking leg/back/hip hurts soooo much.  Basically I'm fucked from my knees to my shoulders and there's fuck all I can do about it until it heals of it's own accord.  Oh joy!  I'm walking slower than a dead snail at the moment and on Sunday I have to take J and Ellie bowling!!  Bowling!!  In my state??  Thankfully there's a bar there so I can drown my pain with some Jack.
