Markers

Today I'm going to get a tattoo, and then go see Modest Mouse. In between, I'll probably stop at the little grocery store with the huge beer selection and pick up a few liters of Belgian ale.

Could I be any more of a hipster ?

Update:
I got an archeopteryx on my outer calf. Though the guy who did it said a calf is typically not a very painful place to get one, this was ten times more painful than either of the two I have on my shoulders (the little one on my ankle doesn't count - I was drunk, and it only took two minutes). I was literally writhing at times. OMFG. It was outrageously painful: literally blindingly painful at times. Hold your breath and clench your whole body painful. I was trying to think of painful dentist visits to distract myself. But I don't remember even flinching at any of the others. Usually with tattoos you go through waves of pain and numbness as your endorphins ebb and flow - it hurts a bit and then you get a bit of a headrush and the pain fades for a while. Not this time. I guess I have extremely sensitive calves.

Mrs. C is going to get a huge back piece done started tomorrow. I hope her back is tougher than my calf!

I haven't had a really good look at it yet, so I don't know if it was worth the pain. I hope so.

    I think if you were *really* a hipster you’d be picking up some PBR instead of the Belgian, but all in all I think it’s better the way you’re doing it.

    And hey, Cornershop!

    Nicely put. And as I said to the friend who asked if he should bring some beer when he comes over on Sunday, “You need to ask?”

    What’s your tattoo, cleek? Are you regretting it already?
