I kinda forgot how much getting tattooed hurts. That, and getting tattooed over the back of your knee is just one of the least fun things ever. Ever.

I went in to have Joe (his website is offline until tomorrow, but you can see some of his stuff at the shop’s site) start finishing the dragon on my leg. Since we started it some 6ish years ago, and his abilities have increased immensely since then, we decided that the best thing to do would be to modify the design and do a large cover-up – with an even larger dragon.

Since we spent a bit over an hour drawing and probably not much more than an hour tattooing, there’s not a lot to show at this point except some outlining on the top of my thigh, so I’m not going to bother with pictures until things are a bit more along – but it’s a great start to what’s going to be a huge (and horribly painful) piece.

Switching gears… Corinne and I went to the CraftBoston exhibit today. It was a lot bigger than we expected and had some amazing work by some truly talented artists. If you’re in the Boston area and have the time, I’d recommend stopping by.

While we’re going to have to squeeze in some grocery shopping today. I’m mostly going to take it easy and let the swelling die down on my leg. Yay discomfort!
