Tattoo pics & kittypix.

Busy yesterday. J & I went down to DC so he could get color session #1 of 2 done on his tattoo, since the linework was complete. Liaa (liaawalter.com / www.britishinkdc.com) spent about four hours putting in the dark blue of the wave and the yellow of the boats-- now all that's left to do is to put in the light blue on the fingers of the wave and the horizon, which will be sunset-hued-- it will fade upwards towards the gray-lined bubble markers, which will disappear completely once they're filled around.

So far, so good.


Not the nipple!  Never the Nipple!

After that, we went to the Piratz Tavern in Silver Spring, where I had many yummy shrimp things and two mugs of their awesome hot mulled wine. We were serenaded by a pirate band of dubious quality. I miss my renfest friends so much. Returned home and passed out on the couch, where J got some totally adorable pics of Noxman climibing up for a cuddle. I went to bed, but ended back out on the couch at about 5 am, because I was having terrible, terrible cramps. Aunt Flo's not due for another two days yet, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but they were definitely cramps of the PMS variety. Blech. But, with all the lights out, I saw something really cool. We have a super staticky couch in winter. Nox climbed up to cuddle me, and as he did, I saw little sparks of light with each step he took. It was an awesome effect.

Today, I'm going to do more tribal goodies and work on some jaw-dropping labradorite.

But first! I give you kittypix.

You shall not pass.

You. Shall. NOT. PASS!
