ink

i'm getting some new ink. i dont really have the money to be spending but i've put it off for way too long. i'm getting something covered up on my lower back. its old, ugly, trampy, and faded. almost exactly how i feel about myself lately, minus the trampy. i havent told anyone. i'm not sure why, i just havent. hopefully this will not be too bad of an experience. the guy gave me a time slot of 3 hours. plus i have to go straight to work after that. not sure how well work will go with fresh ink on my skin. it tends to get hot and i bend over a lot. i have a feeling this cover up will be a bit large and hard to hide. went to riteaid today and bought all the tattoo after care essentials: unscented lotion, a&d ointment and most importantly dial soap (gold). i'm prepared but very nervous. 3 hours seems like a long time to have some needles carving your skin. i just hope i dont start crying on the guy. wish me luck.
