"AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!"

Back of the arms? No fun at all. One hour. Wot a wuss. However, I do now have the outlines of three more pumpkins, one of which is part shaded - because at that point my skin stopped accepting ink. So we gave up. Give it a week or two, I'll be back....

Bogey area? Does that mean "the bit that really wasn't designed to be tattooed", right? *hugs* *carefully*

And also, I have a proposal for you. How would you feel about a cross-Europe road (or more probably, rail) trip with a Maiden gig at the end of it? ^_^

Yeah, bogey as in 'the bit that the nervous system has hysterics when a needle is waved near it'. *Sigh* The annoying thing is that you can grit your way through the pain, but the body does its own thing - and if it's too painful (in my experience) it just stops co-operating and won't hold the ink. I have no idea how that works but if someone were to give me a big enough grant I'd love to study it...

And I'm intrigued - tell me more! (Never been across europe by rail.)

Eek! I'd never heard of that "refusal to hold ink" thing. Wow. O_O

And, well, the original idea went kind of like this:

Me: Maiden are touring in December! Come see them with me!
BF: Yes! Wanna! Where?
Me: I dunno, but I'm bored of Earl's Court, so not London... one of the other ones. [me thinking Birmingham or something, of course]
BF: Spain! Or somewhere else in Europe!
Me: WTF? *pauses* *thinks* ...fuck, why not? ^_^

So we're going to decide where we want to wind up, get tickets, and go out by Eurostar and cross-country rail. Length and itinerary of trip TBC, it's just an idea right now, but as the Post Office say, I Thought Of You. Since I've been wanting to meet you IRL for ages, and we didn't actually know to say hello to each other on Flight 666 and all. ;)

Sounds like a hoot - be one heck of a writeup! Let me know the dates and all that good stuff. *Hugs*
