That's it.
Tattoo is finished for this year.
There is a strip left on the inside of my upper arm, and some additional shading-work to do on the snakeskin, but it's nitpicky and will take time, so we're leaving it for next year when my tattoo-artist comes back from San Diego.
I will post pictures in the portfolio of the slithering masterpiece when it has healed and peeled.
Today, at work, I was fortunate enaugh to be assigned to the Oversize/Special luggage counter.
I love the Oversize counter, because I get to meet so many interesting people there.
In case you don't know me, I'll clarify: that was utter sarcasm;
I hate the Oversize counter because I am subjected to so many people who should have been strangled at birth there.
Anyways, today, two middle-eastern gentlemen buzzed over to me and managed to exclaim, in crude english, "Escuuse me", (yes, "Escuuse me"); "Escuuse me, yes, we want Special luggage."
...and like my brain was some giant muscle, I could feel it cramping.
I desperately looked around them for Special-looking luggage, hoping for some inversive error in communication, but alas, there was nothing. So I proceeded to explain to them, like stating that -stones are not for eating-: "urmm, We don't hand out Special luggage. This is where YOU give US YOUR Special luggage."
"So this is where we give you special luggage", he repeated to me, "ahaa".
And then they buzzed on, like a pair of moths without a lightsource to pursue, leaving me there ...with a pain... somewhere in my head.
Fortunately, it was Sunday and close to 6:30am, so I was soon on my way home. So now I'm going to sleep, hopefully not dreaming of any magical middle-eastern country where everyone is free to pick the ripe Oversize luggage, that obviously grow there on trees.

Do they give you extra days off in the year for mental recovery when you have to work there? I would want at least a four day weekend if I had to deal with that on a regular basis!
I love your brain-spasms. Thank you, lunatic Europeans, for inspiring him to write. You are the muse I only dream of being!

Very cool! I've been looking for an artist that does portraits. Want to get a portrait of my dog on my arm

Make sure you find a good artist, and study his earlier work.
I'll just post some in-progress pics.
