I had my tattoos done yesterday, and I (and my tattoo artist) was surprised by how much the one on my right forearm hurt. It is not supposed to do that! I said it hurt more than the one on my back, which is across my spine*, and the one on my left wrist, also on bone, didn't really hurt, either.
But I did tell her that my body doesn't work like it should, so I'm sort of not surprised my pain responses are messed up.
I'm going to need a minor touch-up on the right one, but I'm giving it a few days to heal up/see if it annoys me (it's really tiny, so IDK if you'd even notice it ordinarily).
But anyway, now they are done, and it feels kind of weird! But a good weird. I like good weird.
Also I got to watch approximately half of The Two Towers while I was there, which was the first time I've seen any of them since mum died. But also it kind of proves I should be able to watch them without dissolving into a puddle of tears. So I might do that sometime soon!
