The Perks

Tattoos and piercings always prove fun and excitement but of course, I will never be the one under the needle. In terms of that, it is definitely a perk to have a friend who loves stuff like that. Trips to the tattoo or piercing parlour never fail to ellicit fear or anticipation or joy in seeing people suffer. HOHO.

So this bright beautiful Monday morning, dear Becky was scheduled for an appointment to get her tatt. I was the accompanying camera man and 'looking on enthusiast' while also being her distraction from the pain.

The work in progress

At the same time, 2 other girls were getting tattooed. One German girl was getting a tattoo of an aboriginal symbol for a Kangaroo on her ribs and boy, was she tearing in pain! Another was getting a tattoo on her foot and she was bloody chilling like as if she just came in for a cup of tea, no worries! The smell in the room and the sound of the needle is enough to make me bolt for the door.

BUT

I was the most chilling one in the room la. Gosh I'm so brave. HAW HAW!
