I had done research into tattoos for years so I wasn't completely oblivious to it. I had forgotten about the healing process, which initially scared me because caring for a wound isn't really the kind of thing I'm good at, but it's no big deal, really. It has only been a few days, but so far so good. In another few days it should approach its worst and then it should be smooth sailing after that. For now, I've just applied ointment twice a day and tried to not touch it. It looks fine to me, but what do I know. It looks pretty much normal to me, which is odd because it shouldn't be for weeks.. It should start to peel like a sunburn and perhaps scab over and what not. I'm still not sure what to expect there, but I'll take it as it comes.

$40, but I think they said that $40 is the minimum that they charge at that particular shop so the actual work might have been worth less. It took very little preparation and probably only took 10 or 15 minutes to actually tattoo.

That gives me an idea for a penis tattoo..

If it's like a fisherman's ruler, you mark off centimetres, but write inches. Though in bambams case, he might have to mark off milimetres.

Nope, not British, just not American.

It was the british influence that made america move away from the proper way.

I'm skeptical until I hear more information on the subject. Oddly enough, Shakespeare is more historically accurate when spoken with an American accent than an English one.

Not bad, Bam; I think it's a nerdy tattoo that doesn't scream "tacky".

There's a finnish expression for a tattoo which literally means report card from the school of hard knocks.^[1] This image explains it perfectly even without the words.

I for one support the concecpt of tattooing a flaccid penis onto your forehead.
