Rata-TATTOO-uille

Check out the new video blog for my tattoo debut! Forgive some of the editing, I have a horrible cold on top of my EBV, so it's been a rough week.

Thanks Nat! After a few days I'm finally getting used to it and LOVE IT. The swelling has gone down a bit too, so it doesn't look as puffy.

To be honest, it's wasn't that painful. I anticipated horrible pain and didn't really flinch. I felt TERRIBLE (health wise) that day as well, so I actually was worried that I was going to pass out. I pretty much sat completely still for the 10 minutes it took. All of my friends were waiting for some dramatic reaction for the camera, but I was just trying to sit still :) I wanted the lines to be straight!

Excellent design! I must get a bip/bon shirt now. You looked so calm throughout.

Maaaaaatttt!! The tat is awesome! There's something about the red line I love so much. Umm can I just comment on how much I enjoy that you put Jordin Sparks on a soundtrack with Vampire Weekend and Santogold, too funny!

M@! You know it! Totally a battery/totally old school Nintendo/ totally BIP/BON! All of those are fine by me :)

And Miriam, I think the video kind of sums up my musical taste. I can go indie Vampire weekend to delicious trashy jordin sparks in the blink of an eye. LOVE IT!!!!

"And Miriam, I think the video kind of sums up my musical taste."

But no Shostakovich?

I once contemplated getting a small tattoo on the underside of my fourth right toe, but I decided it might be too conspicuous.

Nice tat, Matt! So glad you documented your journey and had friends with you for support. BIP/BON is just fabulous!
