no matter how many of them i get i always hate going through this part. They always look so good right after they are done and for the next few days they are so bright and beautiful, then..... eeeewwww. Tattoos, thats what im talking about. i now have 6 of them and every time this happens. Its part of the healing process and i know it will happen every single time, but every time it happens it just makes you look at it and think eeewww. seeing it all scabby and blotchy looking. i know it will look better here in about 4 or 5 days and soon it will look all sorts of good when its done healing, but it always makes me feel wierd when i look at my forearm, thats where my new one is, and think “is this how its really gonna look?”. I love this tattoo and have been wanting to get it for a long time. i cant wait for it to get done healing so i can really enjoy it fully and not worry about rubbing it up against something by accadent and worry about getting the tattoo goo and hustel butter all over the bed and my shirts as well.

im mainly just writing this to help me stay awake. the night shift on the weekends suck. there is no mining going on and right now we are not shipping to the power plant so its a boring long night.

I have been looking through the posts on here, something to pass the time, and i think i will like writing here. there are many different people here and i love getting a little glimps into peoples lives and see what everone else is dealing with. sometimes it helps you feel a little bit better to see there is someone else going through the same thing as you are, or are going through something worse then you are. i know i shouldnt be glad at the missfortunes of others, but sometimes we all need to feel a little bit better about what is going on in our own lives.
