Silent but Friendly

I just got my Alice in Wonderland tattoo colored in. The outline and shading I thought were the easy parts, two weeks past and I went back for the color, I don't know if I was expecting a cake walk but thats not what I got. It hurt most of the time, but I made the commitment to do it so you have no choice once he begins. He and I tried to talk my way through it but about two and a half hours in to it I couldn't speak. He would talk to me and my response would by yeah or I know. He was as gentle as he could be but after 37000 needle through my back I was speechless. I am 1000% thrilled with the outcome, it is absolutly gorgeous, but my normal chatty cathy self was proclaimed speechless for a couple hours.

Luckily We Communicated

I just recently got a new tattoo. It was alice in wonderland's caterpillar and alice. I turned out to be GORGEOUS! But luckily me and the Artist Chris Riddick of Planet Ink communicated well. We discussed size, color and had a great pic go by. If we hadn't communicated well I might have ended up with something I had to live with and was a permanent mistake. He did a beautiful job and made sure I was doing fine while he did it and made sure I loved it. Just wanted to give him props for being a good listener and a spectacular artist. Still have to get it colored in in a couple weeks but the outline and shading are wonderful.

Communication

I haven't really been around my little sister in around a year or so, we have different dads and my mom doesn't have any custody rights. Her dad is a jerk and was a jerk when I grew up with him. The reason I blog about this is that I must be old because this fourteen year old is the spitting image of what I must have been. That mouth, I could have knocked right off her face, disrespectful and rude, I ended up setting her in her place a few times and me and her conflicted in so many ways. I think the point of using this story was to say that age seems to change the way we communicate with each other. And to say I could've BEAT her!!!!!

Miscommunication

I was trying to think of something that i had noticed about communication and then it dawned on me, my weekend has been full of miscommunication! We went to the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City and I had to say "Excuse Me, what was that" a few times because they talk funny and they have a whole language full of words that mean other words, it showed to be quite confusing! Also just this morning, I was talking on my cell phone to my dad about a pop up camper he was on his way to purchase and was taking up to a lake to set up, I told him I wanted to see it before he left and we mis-communicated times and places for at least 10 minutes! It took another five to sort out discrepancies, jeez cell phones!!!
