Everyone's A Critic...
Well, everyone found out about my tattoo today. I have my pants slug low so they don't touch my tattoo and harm it, and I tripped over my pants legs. So Krissy asked why I was wearing my pants so low, and I said I didn't want them rubbing against my scab. "Scab from what?" so I showed her and she asked how much it cost.

All of a sudden everyone's going on about how they can't believe I paid $100 for my ink. How I could of gotten it so much cheaper, Steve (the artist who did it) is a crook, blah blah blah.

Yeah, I could of gotten it done for $50 or so at a crappy palour where they reuse the needles over and over again, use crappy inks, have shitty artists with no depth control and shakey hands. Hell, there's a 50/50 chance they might not even have an autoclave. But it'd be cheaper, so why not, right?Money before health!! Yeah!!!

Yeah, we'll see how tightly you can cling onto that dollar when you're in the hospital with hepatitis.

Steve's a a good artist. I *love* the work he did on my back. It turned out perfect, and it was a great experience. He's a keeper and I'll be getting more work done by him for sure. My co-workers can piss off.

Also, they went on and on about I have the bandage off too early and it's going to get infected and how a some people they know kept their on for a week and that I should put polysporin on it a few times a day to help it heal better....right. I don't need a bandage on it trapping all the sweat and moisture on it. *That* will get it infected. And polysporin..yeah...it hinders the healing process of a tattoo and fucks with the ink. Sorry, I'll pass.

None of them even have tattoos but they *must* be experts on it because they know a couple people who have tattoos. Plus, they're older than me so that means they know more about everything that I know about. It's always like that. I hate people like that. *I* don't automatically assume I know more about everything than someone else because they're younger than I am, that's stupid.
