i believe this wave will bear my weight
Here's two good things that have happened recently:
1. One of the younger lads that I work with said he thought I was only 32, in spite of me having told him I was old enough to be his parent one time (he's 22). But I'll take it. I'm feeling shit, I need all the compliments I can get at the moment.
2. I am finally getting some more tattoos!
I got some money from selling an old phone a while back, which I don't think I mentioned, and I eventually decided that I would get at least one tattoo with it as I have wanted more for literal years now. I back and forthed on it a bit, because there was a part of my brain telling me I should spend the money on something "sensible" (i.e. for the house but, as I said to someone I work with, is that not what work money is for?)
Then ofc I had to work up the nerve to actually go in the place I wanted to get them done, which took a few weeks because I am a massive coward. And honestly, IDK what I was so worried about, because I was fine, actually?? The lady I spoke to was really lovely, and I will be getting them done on the thirtieth! (Which is sooner than I thought I might get an appointment because I don't know how busy they are, but I kind of assumed they might have a long waiting list).
I am getting a star on my right forearm - I wanted it on my wrist, but apparently it won't look as symmetrical if it's high up, and I totally get that. And then I am having TEMET NOSCE on my left wrist, but I haven't decided if I want it vertically or horizontally yet. I'm leaning towards horizontally, honestly.
I did ask if the scarring on my arms would be a problem, but apparently not because they're old. So that's good to know for the future.
So I am very excite about this!!! and I have already started thinking about my next tattoo and where I want it, but that will have to wait because I'm of the opinion you should really put thought into what you get done, and also I don't know when I will next have the money for it.
I'll probably put pics up on my bsky when they're done, so look forward to that?
