RETURN OF FARTMAN!

Give it Life!!

The Oni is finally coloured.. to a certain extent. I remember the last time I was in the tattoo chair. It was quite a few months back, and I was getting the outline to my side torso piece done. I remember thinking "Shit, this isn't so bad!" Little did I realise that it's because it was the BLOODY OUTLINE.

Yesterday, I dove back into the chair to get the Oni coloured. We've only managed to cover him. His clothes and axe are still just plain outlines. However, it did take about a little more than 2 hours in tattooing time, and I was already in pain by the time we started on his belly. I guess the soreness resulted from the fact that it was the same region being tattooed over and over again. What's new to me is that this is the first time Sam has actually just concentrated on one region to get the colours right, instead of moving from region to region, like he used to do and like most tattooists in Singapore do to prevent the customer from receiving too much trauma to the same region. FYI, most tattooists wouild rather do a touchup than scare the shit out of their clients due to the pain. But Sam just went for it yesterday. In some sense I'm really happy at least that portion is done and I won't have to worry about pain there anymore. However, I guess I'm pretty impatient in the sense that I'd have liked to see more parts being finished.

However, what WAS a nice surprise yesterday was taht the gf came by with a new friend.. he's a new hamster some customer from her work place didn't want anymore. Sweetheart named his Skrats, and Sam added Hamtaro. So we're still decided on what to call him. In a little over 24 hours, Skrats has managed to bite me twice, once drawing blood, the other missing it cos my fingers are too thick, escaped from his little enclosure and gotten into a fight with little Fats. He was cut 3 times... I'm proud of Fats in that sense too. =)

They're now into their bonding stage, with a wire mesh put into the cage to separate the two hammies. They can try attacking, but it's not like it's gonna work. For now, they're still concentrating on trying to bite through the wire mesh and get to the other side.

The gf was amazing today. She taught me to sing this song called "Head and shoulders knees and toes..." and I told her that it sounded exactly like "London bridge is falling down..." Both ended with "my fair lady!" She claimed they were different tunes. She sang her song, and I sang London Bridge. THEY WERE THE SAME TUNE...........

But I obviously still love her dearly. =)

I shall hit the sack now. I need my sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day, I hope. I want it to be a long and tiring day tomorrow.
