Why is it that the question asked most is does it hurt? No. The initial bleeding and slight bruising is nothing. The worst part about tattooing is putting up with the two weeks of putting Bepanthen on your art. For two whole weeks you smell like a baby's arse. Nothing worse than standing in an elevator next to an attractive girl having your arm smell like a fresh baby. If anyone asks me what it's like having it done, to a guy it's like gravel rash. To a girl it would be like rubbing a nail file arcross your skin. To me it just brought back the memories of being a kid and coming off my skateboard, stacking badly during motorcross races, going arse over handlebars on a Mongoose! Bring it on let's do it again!

There's something to early morning starts that gets me. I think its actually watching the News on TV for anything of interest for a cartoon. At least breakfast TV shows have improved some. I've seen many caricatures of David Koch and Melissa Doyle recently. I thought I'd add my two cents worth in and do something a little different than my usual. I've really stopped worrying too much about accuracy for the sake of making a vast majority see the likeness straight away. Now I tend to draw for myself and draw for the art, not the sake of it.
