A night with Emma

I'm sitting in my new room after a lovely evening out at Emma's. I met her house mates, a lovely gay couple [Andrew and Josh], and had a tour of their huge house in Moonah. They have so many laughs it's great! I wish I lived with Emma. Andrew made cannelloni for dinner then we went to Cold Rock for ice cream. I had rainbow with Skittles. It was great. Next time I'm going to have cookies and cream with Oreo's. I couldn't decide which to get but after thinking it through and trying to figure out which taste I was really wanting I decided I didn't feel like chocolate, especially if it were watery. It wouldn't be though. I'm glad I made a choice. Emma couldn't choose last time and left with nothing. We looked at Tamaxxx pictures for tattoos but the ones I like might be around $600! I don't have that much to spend. Emma mentioned she might put it on a credit card and pay it back, kinda like a lay-by! That would work. I want to get my surname done first, once I get the perfect font [which seems more and more impossible], and I think that might only be around $100. Still expensive but less so in one go. I have always said I'll never get a credit card but if it's specifically for this one day it might be okay. It's a lot to pay in one go. Lay-by via credit card seems like the way to go. Apparently tattoo artists can tattoo in watercolours. I'm not sure what that means exactly but as the pictures are watercolour it seems appropriate. Got to look into that. Emma is going to ask her tattoo artist if they can do that picture. I'm still not 100% sure I'll get them done. I want to, but it's irreversible. Once I get my wrist one, which I 100% know I want, I'll be further in the direction of a 100% for the others. I'm wondering if the top of arms are the right place. I like the idea of back of neck around the shoulder line but then I wouldn't be able to see it. Arms sounds good. Not legs, not tummy, maybe back, no none of those areas actually. Arms it is. Forearms yes, one day, near the elbow crease. I am still in love with Katie's hearts. Sigh. Lots of thinking. Glad I've got lots of time. Now to bed to get warm and watch TV!

Tamaxxx

I'm going over to Emma's tonight for dinner [spaghetti bolognaise] at her new house to discuss Tamaxxx tattoos! I think we might end up getting one, maybe two, of the same. I'm going to take all the pictures I have saved onto my laptop for her to check out. I find most of them irrelevant and too cluttered but there might be something in there she likes. There are two that stand out for me -- the one I posted last night and

I really like this one too. It doesn't have any life-meaning for me as yet but I guess it's about reaching for the stars [and moon], or getting some help along the way. It's very sweet. They both are. I wonder what Emma has in mind.

Tamaxxx

I was thinking in the car on the way home that one day I might have to get a tattoo on each shoulder/top-of-arm. I like this for one of them --

Tamaxxx is a great artist, whoever they are. They are so hard to track down and find out much about them. Maybe that's their point. I think I'd choose another from this lovely artist. The picture above is one I've thought about in tattoo terms before but wondered if it was too dark. I don't think so now. To me it encompasses my hopeful move to Sydney. I know I'll be scared and a bit lonely but that's no reason not to take the journey. In fact it's more reason to do it. This picture is perfect! I just wonder if it will transfer to a tattoo that well as it seems like water paint with its blotchy effect. I love the idea of having such a wonderful and bright tattoo but something contained in a border. It would be a reminder to myself to be brave and experience all life has to offer. Sitting back is not an option. I might have to take this to a tattoo parlour and get a quote. After reading several Tattoo Tuesday posts over at Sometimes Sweet I've come to learn that with something of this complexity, getting the right tattoo artist is a priority. It is with you for life, after all, unless you're rich and want to get it removed. I would be very happy with this one. I'm sure it would take a while and cost a fair bit but it'd be worth it. I like the idea of having tattoos.
