New ink!

[mad_andy]

So here's my newest.

Position: right arm, below the elbow.

Pain level: 6 (Lots of sodding linework, so even the shading was more ouchy than usual.)



Good innit? It's the Majestic cover without the background....

So, today was my last shift with I__, the boss. And owner of the practice, as his missus reminds us. Now, I like I__ a lot. I got on with him well when I was a client, I've always got on with him well as a nurse - and we had a big op today, a tibial crest transposition.

I'm glad I got to do it with him. We took the piss out of each other, worked smoothly together and got the patient through with the minimum trauma. We make a good team, and I'll miss that.

When I left, I stuck my head round his consult room door and said, well boss, this is it. It's been real, OK?

He hugged me.

He isn't a touchy-feely sort, and neither am I. And for him to break his own taboos enough to give me a real, honest-to-goodness hug was--

I got a bit choked up, tell you the truth.

Yeah, there are a lot of things I'll miss - and he's going to be one of them. Well. Mostly. *Chuckle* Because my god but he can be a primadonna when he puts his Cambridge educated mind to it!!!

But he rates me as a nurse and he said it won't be the same without me and he'll miss me and, funnily enough, I believe him. Heh.

Going to the drum show in London - Nicko is performing, as well as compering the event. Last year he recognised me - let's see if he remembers me this year!

Love the tatt. Did you do it yourself or did the boss at the studio?

Jon did it, the same guy that's done all my ink. My artistic director! (As working left handed on my own right elbow might have been - er - interesting, to say the least!)

The new tat rocks hard. :)

It's good to leave knowing someone valued your work, innit?
