tattoo consultation; amongst other things

So today, I have a consultation for my tattoo… exciting, and yet nerve wracking. I haven’t said anything, because it really hasn’t sunk in, but I will be getting the tattoo on Saturday… Lots going through my head right now, like “I hope I like the design this guy does for me” and “I just want it to be healed already!” and “I hope I like the design this guy does for me”… stuff like that. I will let you know how the consultation goes this afternoon; I have never had a person draw up a tattoo design especially for me, so I am pretty excited. Ginko leaves and Koi fish; here I come!

Also, I turned off comment moderation. Happy?

And finally, I was mistaken, everyone seems to like the idea of being woken up by someone licking their butt. That is an interesting statement about the readers of this here blog… and I quite like what it says. So, uh, I guess, enjoy!

UPDATE: So here’s a cheesy picture of me to illustrate the tattoo proposal (he sketched it on me); I don’t think that many of you realized that I was getting a big one… either way, what do we think? Seriously? Is it TOO big? I kinda feel that it is pretty large, and whatnot, but I also think that it is going to look really good. Thoughts?

UPDATE2: Because kat suggested it, here’s a picture of me with the tattoo proposed design with a tougher, meaner face. Does it make it more believable?

    testing no moderation… does it work?

    so far so good… but it’s only been several hours… we will see in the long run.

    Thanks! I like to switch things up sometimes; AND, I like to believe that I am clever.

    Yay! Tattoo consultation!
    I have an idea for a new tattoo - I just have to decide how to execute it. If I’m going to do the drawing, or if I’ll have someone else come up with it. And then the question is… where?

    As for the butt licking, I would have to agree that I would be all about waking up to that - however - I would hope that the other person knew they were doing it!

    As for the tattoo, have you had one before? Really there isn’t much “healing” to do, you just have to take care of it for a week.

    You know they tell you that you have to put lotion on it everyday and sun tanning lotion everytime it’s exposed to the sun. Let’s see how many times have I done that? Oh about none.

    I’m with Shan! on this one, it really doesn’t take much time to heal, just don’t pick at it (gross, I know).

    Okay, I was exaggerating.
    Duane darling, how about this tattoo design: a cherub on each side of your butt, pointing their arrows at your Khyber Pass? A big design with lots of details, it may hurt, though…

  7. Gravatar Icon 7 T. Johnston Mar 29th, 2006 at 12:04 pm

    YEAH! I’m so happy you are getting one finally… on a related note. I’m getting another one tonight! You will have to wait for my photo of the day for details.

    Just follow the healing instructions, take good care and I’m sure you’ll heal up just fine.

  9. Gravatar Icon 9 kat Mar 29th, 2006 at 2:23 pm

    wow, that IS huge. i feel like you shouldn’t be smiling so adorably, though. you need to toughen up if you’re getting a tattoo that fierce.

  10. Gravatar Icon 10 alyssa Mar 29th, 2006 at 2:43 pm

    Wow that is enormous! But i’m sure that’s what you like to hear :D
    My only concern with one that large is working in a corporate environment. Would you have to keep it covered up?

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 duane Mar 29th, 2006 at 2:45 pm

    believe it or not; short sleeve shirts cover it!

  12. Gravatar Icon 12 Alex Vernon Mar 29th, 2006 at 3:03 pm

    I say go for it. I’ve been thinking of getting a half-sleeve myself. Who’s tattooing you?

  13. Gravatar Icon 13 duane Mar 29th, 2006 at 3:07 pm

    Russ abbott of 13 Roses. website!

  14. Gravatar Icon 14 wendy Mar 29th, 2006 at 3:58 pm

    I say go for it - but it is rather large. What does James think?? Love ya!!

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 Joseph G Mar 29th, 2006 at 5:50 pm

    That’s HUGE! Good luck this weekend!

  16. Gravatar Icon 16 Audacity Mar 29th, 2006 at 6:26 pm

    I can’t decide.

    Parts of it look like a devil’s tail / thin penis.

  17. Gravatar Icon 17 Matt S. Mar 29th, 2006 at 7:04 pm

    Holy shit, that is huge, it looks awesome though. That is going to hurt like hell!

    So when will you actually get the tattoo then?

  18. Gravatar Icon 18 Paul Mar 29th, 2006 at 10:00 pm

    Duane that’s awesome.

    & you are the most gorgeous blogger EVAR

  19. Gravatar Icon 19 Simon Mar 30th, 2006 at 2:20 am

    Duane, I think you are making a mistake. In a way I like it but it’s just too damn big. If you do it I hope you don’t live to regret it. But least it’s better than the homeless person I saw in London with FUCK tattooed across his forehead.

  20. Gravatar Icon 20 jeff Mar 30th, 2006 at 2:59 am

    I don’t know what to think about your mean face (lol). But I’m thinking maybe you should start small with a design you could work into something larger later. And am I just seeing things or are there some rather phallic symbol type designs in there?

    ; )

  21. Gravatar Icon 21 Michael Mar 30th, 2006 at 5:33 am

    Wait. This is your FIRST one and that’s what you’re getting? Seems like it’ll be gorgeous, but it’s SO big. Can’t you be more demure first, then augment as the mood strikes?

    Apologies from a lurker for chiming in like a granny.

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 Matt Mar 30th, 2006 at 1:45 pm

    Oh my god - that’s HUGE!
    Ok, that was a bit overdramatic, but I wasn’t visualizing anything that large. Still, I love it.
    And I love the tough face. Very hot.
