Officially Inked

Time: 12:33am
Mood: kinda sick.. :(
Song of the moment: Coldplay - Fix You

So I'm officially inked!! I finally got the tattoo I've been wanting for so long! I thought about getting one for a while now and I finally built up the courage to go get one. But it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be...

I actually was supposed to get it 2 weeks ago in Hamilton. Laura was gonna come with me but the day we were supposed to go she asked me if I knew the reputation of any of the tattoo places in Hamilton. She told me it was better to get one done at a place that had a good rep (preferably where my friends got theirs). So we decided to get it the day of the Coldplay concert.

I decided to go to WayCoolTattoos, the place where Mel got her tattoos done.. she told me they were pretty good. I checked out their website and thought it was a pretty kewls place.

The day of the Coldplay concert.. by this time I've managed to recruit Jenn and Rita to come with me (Rita wanted to get her nose pierced). But plans totally fell apart. First off, Jenn said she couldn't make it, then when I called the tattoo place they told me I had to come into the parlour and book an appointment, and that that day was completely booked. AGH! At this point I was pretty frustrated and unsure whether a tattoo was worth all this trouble. Anyway, so Laura was coming into T.O early that day and was gonna take the subway up and meet me @ the tattoo place... so when she called I had to tell her the bad news.. I wasn't gonna get it that day. So there was no point in her coming all the way uptown, then going back downtown for the concert. So I went w/ Ri to book an appointment. So I booked an appointment for Friday afternoon.

Finally Friday rolls along and I finally get my tattoo :D It kinda hurt.. but it was tolerable pain. And it only took 10 minutes (mine's pretty small... actually I was watching the new reality tv series on TLC called Miami Ink and the tattoos ppl were getting on that show made mines look tiny! There were ppl on that show getting body tattoos.. omg! haha!). Rita got her nose pierced that day too.. it looked fab :D haha! But anyway, my tattoo artist Jen was the nicest person ever! When I looked @ her pic on the website I thought "omg she looks scary!" but she was so down to earth and made me feel comfortable about getting a tattoo.

Throughout the day I began to regret my tattoo.. and I couldn't even look at it b/c it was bandaged. But when I took off that bandaid and got a good look at it again.. I loved it! I'm so glad I did it :D

For those of u wondering.. I got a cross... and it's on my right lower back :D Pictures to come.. after it heals a bit more :D

So that night Jenn and I headed to Hamilton for some girls night out action. We started the night @ Jen's place (as usual) and I got pretty drunk there. We headed to Koi that evening, which was a lot of fun on a Friday night :D We spend the rest of the evening dancing it up, playing "boy bingo" (we were each given cards w/ guy names, and we had to run around and find guys w/ that name) and just having fun :D Ah I love girls nites :D
