After a morning in the Pride office I made my way to Black and Blue Tattoo, home of Idexa, who was to scar me for life !!!! I was worried that the mosquito bites that formed a ring around each ankle would cause a problem. Idexa was worried that I wouldn't like the design as this was outside her usual style of work and nearly cancelled - what a pair !! I loved the design and the bites weren't a problem. Idexa is a wonderful, fun, interesting, talented woman, we chatted throughout much of the 3 and a half hour process, but also instinctively knew when the other needed to focus and couldn't chat for a little while. To say it wasn't painful at moments would be lying, although it is better to describe it as an intense sensation than just 'pain' ( and one I quite like in a bizarre way). Although there was one square centimetre where whenever she ventured in I was about ready to hit the roof. Both of us were kind of sad when the work was complete and we were both on a high. I loved the finished work and Idexa was so pleased with the experience she is considering branching out into a new area of design. I have every intention of returning so she can do more work for me. That night I went to sleep with my bandaged foot in the air, trying to figure out how I was going to look after it on a camping trip just outide Santa Cruz - my following days adventures.....
