as a birthday present to myself, i sat for three hours straight last night and had needles punched into my skin hundreds of thousands of times. the results are phenomenal!!

i'm so amped up right now! it's 7:30 on saturday morning and i just couldn't sleep any more, even though i didn't get to bed till around 1:00 last night. it's really amazing to me the kind of effects the pain of a tattoo has. honestly, it hardly hurt at all... the first 15 minutes were tough, and then the last 45 minutes started to wear me down a little, but the other two hours were a breeze. i think i was just too excited by how great the piece was looking to bother feeling any pain!

anyway, i now have TWO great artists to recommend to you if you're having work done: my awesome little bro, Tony Espinoza over at Bonehead on 24th street (go see him for great traditional style) and Matt Marsango at Sideshow Studios on Freeport (for non-traditional awesomeness). they are great guys who honor their art and will take you and your work very seriously.

Looks gorgeous! Sort of like beauty that arises among the chaos of a storm...
You rock! I've never been ballsy enough to get art on my arms... :)

So... you're still having your adrenaline rush this morning eh? Awesome. As someone who once sat for 8 hours in one sitting, I had it explained to me this way. After a certain period of time, your little nerve endings stop reacting and that is when the blissful numb sets in... but take you ever get a bigger piece, like say... across your back... whenever the artists moves from one side of your back to another, as Mr.
G so thoughtfully would do to me every hour or so to keep things interesting ;) the little nerve endings in that area send up quite a shout! Shocks you back to reality from numb adrenaline bliss land pretty quickly!
