I can't go downstairs. People are working the ceiling, because we got severe water damage when the apartment flooded. Also, the apartment complex managers decided that today would be a great re-shingling day. So I, the noise-hater, get to deal with banging an whirring from downstairs and banging and slamming above my head.
I also have to work on class stuff.

And I just remembered what I'd wanted to blog about: I think I might get a tattoo for my birthday. On my ankle. And yes, I know that those hurt.
On that note, why do we differentiate between "tattoos for men" and "tattoos for women." It looks like the presence of flowers makes it "for women." Whatever.
I chose the ankle because--without getting too personal--I know that my skin elsewhere is going to stretch out a lot in the coming years. Especially in the arm/back area. But ankle? That's all bone. Which means it'll hurt, but the aesthetic won't be ruined at least, yeah?

Except not on my feet, obviously. I really like these, actually:
2D. Geometric. Minimal shading, if any. Really bold, clear lines. I don't know whether to go nature or architecture. Because I really like:
Anyway, thanks for putting up with me. Also, if the link didn't work:
Magical. Bonus:
Any advice for dealing with the pain? Or just on getting tattoos in general? My mom's family is a biker family, so they all have tattoos and know where to get them, so that's not the problem. But, if you have a tattoo, how long ago did you get it? Do you regret it?
