What I Have Learned This Week – 3

Firstly, this is so fucking late, but I’m literally over a week behind my writing schedule but I wanted to try and fit this one at least in this week. Chronic pain has been just awful and I can’t do much currently. If you saw my Instagram, then you saw how bad my hand is. The rest of me is still pretty fucked up. That being said, here is this weeks post

1) Doing the community pokemon day was really fun. It was 3 hours in the park, in the pissing rain, but everyone was really nice

2) Three hours in the pissing rain means you will be cold now for about 3 days straight. No this isn’t fun, and no matted what I do, I can’t fucking warm myself up. 

3) This year has actually been the worst for my arthritis and no amount of painkillers are making me comfortable. This is also delaying everything I do currently

4) Following on point 3 – you can be cold in a hot tub. I’m now old and NOTHING is warming me up

5) Kinder Bueno milkshakes are fucking glorious. 

6)Lack of drop curbs or people parking on drop curbs makes me reay fucking angry. 

7) Brush pens are amazing to use. 

8) Adulting and attempting to pay bills with fuck all money, is worse than breaking bones in your body. 

9) Catching a shiney pikachu pleased my inner child. 
Hopefully next weeks one will be on time 😂

Another Trip To The Basement

Excuse my squished up face, but as promised here is my latest tattoo from the wonderful basement tattoo studio. I’m at the stage now where I’m needing filler tattoos before my sleeve(e) gets completed. I decided that I needed to get a pocket watch and Glynn suggested that I should get a pokeball pocket watch. 

So here it is. The latest edition to my body. I also got more colour put into my finger tattoos this week. Thank you Shaun from nine lives for doing that. 

By the end of the year I should have my leg cover up started as well as a few other bits done. So watch this space. 

Absence in writing

So you know Pokémon Go has come out. Well that’s consuming me at the moment. I said right at the beginning of the year I would take some time off to play and that’s what I am doing at the moment. 

Also writing 500-1000 word posts on mobile has taken its toll and has now killed my hands. So I’m also taking time to recover from excessively typing. This sadly also includes the book, since I have been writing it all on my phone. 

I will be back in the next couple of days as I have several posts needing to be posted, including my one year anniversary with Steph. 

Take care and happy catching

Because One Is Clearly Not Enough

I love tattoo’s.
Scrap that. I ADORE TATTOOS. Be it on my own body or on others, there is something about having art permanently on a body that really gets me going.

I have quite a few tattoos, most of them are on my arms, though I’m progressing to other parts of my body. I got my very first one when I was 13, its a dolphin in my stomach. Honestly it was a quick choice and I haven’t looked back on it since. The first one was because I have a MASSIVE scar on my stomach from an illness as a baby, and I wanted something to detract away from it. I then became addicted to tattoos.

I am always looking for more tattoos and this post is actually more about what I want to get and why and less about what I already have.
For starters I’m planning to finish of my eeveelution sleeve. Which is going to be the longest time consuming piece because of all the Pokemon I’m having put on me. Secondly, filling the space will be pokeballs, hearts, flowers, and some other bits thrown in, that will be kind of little hidden surprises.

As well as the eeveelution sleeve, I am also planning to get this quote. I decided that if I was going to get a quote, that it had to be something memorable and something that means a lot to me. This. This one quote is the perfect description of me recovering drug addiction, coming out, starting transition and beyond. I showed my mum it and she told me that it was perfect. That was all the proof I needed and eventually I’m getting it done , after I’ve had top surgery or at some other point.

Not pokemon related, but I’m in serious need of a cover up on my shin. Basically I allowed my best friend to tattoo me whilst she was practicing, and whilst it’s a great practice example, for a first time. It needs to look pretty. I’m going to try and get a tribal style that kind of goes with my drawings, and its going to be black with small hints of colours.

There will be others eventually that I will list off, but right now that’s all I’m looking for, its a lot of work, but I’m willing to go through the pain to have beautiful work on me
