Session number three began at 1620 hrs this afternoon. It was a great feeling.

After three hours, my background is finally done. The whole piece is coming together, with the empty spaces that looked so awkward at the beginning finally brought to life. Black, fade black, grey all coming together to create that much-desired depth. The lotuses are blooming and swaying, the waves are crashing. It's alive I tell you!

Apart from finishing up the background shading, two lotus petals were added to the underside of my arm. Sam wrecked his brains on that one. The result is beautiful.

At a certain point of time I was in a rather awkward position, lying forward and using only my right arm as a support. As the needle went over my elbow, I questioned myself as to why I was putting myself through all this pain. However, when we broke for a cigarette, the answer came crashing at me as it so often does. And it's worth the pain and all the effort.

The next session is next Friday, 22nd April 2005. I doubt we'll be able to get it finished anyway. Moreover, there's a part of me that doesn't want it to be over. I know that my next tattoo's gonna be some time away, so it would be nice to prolong the experience. It's really a good feeling. Anyone who has an avid interest in tattoos will tell you the same thing. I can't wait!

Had dinner with J and his girl after the session and made our way down to Yishun Dam to check out some cars. There, I met a shih-tzu. A while fluffy little fella. And he was just lying there, falling fast asleep. At that moment I asked myself why Bagel couldn't be as cute as him. What an annoying brat of a dog. Well, I'm not asking myself that now, since Bagel's in my room chasing his tail again. There's a different quality to this grey bag of fur.

Tomorrow's gonna be beach day, but no tanning or swimming for me though. Just chilling.

Till next time, goodbye world.
