blonde_elmoe took this picture for me today. I tried to edit it so you could see some of the detail. It's huge.


( new tattoo )

And later on tonight I have been asked to be someone's muse. So...

1. I have some pictures I want to post from New Years but my scanner isn't working.
2. My mission is complete but I doubt I'll stop anytime soon. Marines, Air Force, Army, and now Navy. Yay for me!
3. I got a bad ass tattoo tonight. I'll probably post pics of it tomorrow. Take a good look at my PRIMITIVE icon because it looks different now.
4. I have to get up in 3.5 hours. *pouts* But it's my own damn fault.

Because I know you care so much.

Anyway, I have been trying for months now to stretch from a 12g to a 10g. Finally last night, I forced the 10g through my left ear. *does snoopy dance* Happiness and success.

Now for the right ear... I pushed and pushed and it won't go through. Add more Aquafore (petroleum based cream). Half hour later my ear is sore, red and I'm pissed. I put the 12g back in. I'm lopsided and pissed off. The difference is only .6mm but it's the principle of the thing.

Today I try again. Still no luck. The end after the part that screws in is flat as hell and just will not go through. Fine, be that way. Put the 12g back in.

*frustrated*

So, I call Mike and he gives me some ideas of things to do to help get the damn horseshoe in.

I put in a 14g (1.6mm)and try to put in another 14g in the same hole. No luck and my ear is still sore as hell. So instead, I shove a 16g(1.3mm) in next to the 14g... success! Now a 10g is 2.6mm, and I have a total of 2.9mm in my ear right now. After a month or so, it should slide right in. In theory. Right?

FYI... I was going to stop at a 10g. But I don't think it's big enough. We shall see.
