I got a new tattoo this weekend
the pic was taken right after i took off the bandage when i got home, so it's wet looking from the vaseline-type stuff and soapy water he put on it. i thought the wet look was quite appropriate for something intended to be similar to a gunshot wound.
it's my 3rd tattoo, and the first on my rib cage, which i must say is far less pleasant to have done than the shoulders, but still more than tolerable. of course the piercings take the cake for pain, and i can't imagine doing anything else in my lifetime up to that level (oh, the things an 18 year old will do when he's got a free $80 gift certificate to a tattoo shop).
