Today I went and got my 3rd tattoo on my leg. I can't take off the bandage until tomorrow morning but I am very happy with the end product and will post a picture tomorrow. Its amazing how you forget about the pain after a few years... and anyone who tells you tattoos don't hurt is a fucking liar. It hurts like a bitch, 2.5 hours with a needle running against your skin, is never pleasent. Thanks again to alison who went with me today, it helps having someone to talk to while your getting needle raped.

There was a women at the shop talking to the tattoo artist about what she wanted to get. She was worried what people might think about her design. If you're worried about what other people think about a tattoo you really shouldn't be getting it... or you will regret it. One day someone who doesn't like it will come around and tell you that its not good... and for the rest of your life you will second guess yourself. So before anyone gets something, don't give a shit what other people think about it.

Also went to the Brand New concert, which was really fun. However being an all ages show there tends to be a lot of idiot kids who go not for the music but for punching someone in the face. Even when the artist stands on stage and tells everyone to relax because they are acting like idiots you would think that would be a big hint that this isn't the way you act at a show. If your coming to a punk show like ours then jump and punch your way for the harsh songs but respect the slower ones... or the bands who just want you to enjoy the music.
