Sketchin' Surfin'

Excited for the long weekend. Friends said the waves will work in La Union. For the meantime that I'm bored I'll be scratching some pencils on papers.

Skin Art a'la Surfer

The long wait is over. I got me my wish, my skin as a canvass. It was such a long waiting period that I thought "When will the tattoo artist get here for Pete's sake! The waiting process had become excitement-frustration, anger-excitement, excitement-scare, anxiety-panic and finally excitement to ouch, pain. The only thing I was scared of is me not being satisfied on the end of the session that made my really anxious. I didn't care about the pain, I wanted for it to get it done nicely and perfectly. Of course I want it to be perfect it will be with me at the very end of my days!!!

The steps and experience for me to get the tattoo...

1. Picking the perfect one, the concept and the love at first sight on selecting the art.(two days)
2. Evaluating, feeling the art and collaborating with friends. (lasted for a week or two)
3. Looking for a very superb tattoo artist.(minutes)
4. Waiting for the artist to come to life este...come. He came all the way from Singapore.(a month) 
5. Waiting for another tattoo artist to come because the 1st one didn't reply for how many days...(a week)
6. The other artist arrived but with no tools so wait again (a week)
7. Finally contacted the first choice of artist. He was highly recommended.
8. Text, called and threatened the artist until he goes nuts and finally agreed to come.
9. Confirming the arrival. Now! Wait I needed to take a long bath first! Panic button switched on!
10. Here goes nothing! Sitting on the chair with a sketch on my butt-ocks and hearing the sound of the machine...ouch ouch tingling sensation like being electrocuted million times...Inhale exhale! hoohhh! 
And ...VOILA!
