Number 10, dudes, number 10!!!
Jan. 28th, 2010 10:54 pmI did it. today i got tattoo nr. 10, woohoo \**/
and let me say one thing: IT WAS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS, seriously. I think, i've got the most painful tattoos in my life here in singapore. the two traditional thai tattoos with the handpoke method and now this one ... and it is on my right side, starting from my breast til the waist. and god, god, that hurt so much. really, when i am thinking about another tattoo on the left side of my body, say: DON'T DO THAT! IT'S PAINFUL!
but let me start from the morning on. yesterday alecs messaged me about visiting two temples here in singapore. And of course I said yes (even when my feet are hurting like hell after the monster walks of the last days, lol). So, he told me we have to meet at the Toa Payoh MRT Station. so i asked jamie how long i would need to go there and she said, oh, u need a lot of time. so ... if u know me I am a control freak ... and i am always too early. so i woke up this morning at 6 (!) and left the hostel at 6.30am ... and of course i was too early. way TOO early. I was at the station at 7.22am -_-
So, I had to wait til 10am ...
but luckily there was a bench ... and i've waited. and i got tired ... and I fell asleep, rofl.
so, at 10am alecs wrote me a message, woke me up, i was in rush ... slipped out and fell directly on the face *immer mitten auf die fresse, ne?*
*sigh*
So, i have to look at the positive side. i didn't broke my leg, lol. it is just swollen and hurts with every step :) ... ehrlich, ich lasse hier auch nix aus, rofl.
so, of course we visited the temples. and i swear, this was a beautiful experience. those are temples which are nearly unknown by tourists. unfortunately ... or fortunately? :)
it was so wonderful and i made so, so many pictures, lol. and alecs is a great tour guide. he explained me so much and i love it when he is talking about the chinese myths and so on :3
So, after walking around for 2 hours, we went to a food place and he explained me what he likes, lol. and he always said to me, i have to try this and that and THIS and THAT. he really likes it to pick on me the whole time. he loves it.
but i am taking that easy! we have so much fun together i can't be really angry with him.
so, we took a cab to his tattoo studio and at first we just hang around. I took a look of tons of tattoo books and piercing magazines. we browsed together through the web, watched a lot of strange/funny/crappy youtube clips, talked and talked and laughed a lot.
so we talked about my back and I decided to not do any pictures there anymore. the back is kinda full and u can't do another design on it. actually, you can, but it doesn't look good. but alecs said, i have more space on my body, lol.
so, i asked him for doing me the tattoo about the dir en grey lyrics. and he worked a lot on it, searched for the right kanjis, we searched together for the right design and we found a price, lol. he wanted for the tattoo 180 Singapore dollar/90 Euro, what isn't a lot. when i would ask here around i would have to pay around 400-500 singapore dollar. and he did a good work. i am very satisfied and ... i am thinking about new ones, lol.
i am so sorry, but tattoos are so damn addicting. i can't be without them, lol.
but to be honest, it hurts right now. it hurts a lot. gosh, the side of the body is so damn sensitive.
so, now i am at the hostel and i feel groggy.
the funniest thing was ... u know, before alecs is doing a tattoo, u have to pay him before he is starting. so, i didn't have enough money today (because I bought yesterday too many things) and gave him only 130 dollar, but he was okay and said, oh anke, u can give me the rest tomorrow, that's fine. i am actually very happy that he is trusting me so much :)
so, for tomorrow i will go to him, giving him the 50 dollars :)
and maybe just hanging around with him and May :)
ah, both of them went we me to chinatown today. so, beautiful! I tried out a lot of strange food and some jelly grass drink oO
weird, lol.
but we had a lot of fun together XD
so, that is all from today. I guess I will go in my room, falling in my bed and trying to sleep, lol.
btw, jutta? Falls du mir sms schreiben solltest und es kommt nix zurueck, liegt das daran, dass ich im moment staendig fehlermeldungen bekomme und nicht senden kann. ich glaube, ich sollte vielleicht mal mein handy wieder aufladen *hust*
so, see u tomorrow!
