Hurts NOW!
Ok... I've heard of it hurting when you got a tattoo, but the fact of the matter I hurt more NOW! then I did on Tuesday night BEFORE I got 'altered'.
I'm home from work WAY early. I feel guilty because after having a nice almost week long vaca- I barely got through a 1/2 day (and that's WITH me begging to have lunch early). I feel very tired even though I went to bed at a decent time last night... and don't think I tossed and turned any more then a 'usual' night.
My head hurts and a co-worker (who I asked to touch my forehead) did think I felt a bit hot... Likewise my mouth feels like I constantly taste soap and I wonder if that's from the A & D lotion I'm using for my back...
Then again when I got to work today, I was cursing myself for not looking HARDER for a real job. I hate my job and right now feeling physically ill is not helping my mental state.
Not sure what I'm going to do between NOW and bed time. Might crawl into bed shortly, but doubt it as I know I won't fall asleep... and will just worry about the tattoo and cleaning it AGAIN.
I mean I followed directions. On Tuesday, I was careful to wash, dry CAREFULLY, not itch and repeat as needed. Yesterday, I stayed inside for most of the day- felt hung over. Yesterday I also kept my shirt off for MOST of the day as I didn’t want to chafe the tattoo. I even asked Evan for advice when I thought I'd be at work for nine hours today, which I should’ve been but ended up being there for about 5 hours including lunch.... I got some generic saran wrap and had a friend tape it down, as Evan suggested I do. I thought my friend was stingy with the lotion- but then again I think I go a bit overboard... Sure enough when I took the tape off, first thing when I got home, the tape looked like it had a good amount of lotion on it- which SHOULD mean that it worked. I'm not sure what my tat is going to look like at the end... I just know, again, that I'm in more pain NOW then I was Tuesday. I'd get a beer to dull the pain but I know that beer often makes it HARDER for me to sleep... Then again with my currently light sleeping, I wonder if I'd've survived anytime before the 20th Century.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense- I just wanted you all to know what's going on. Word at least confirms a minimum of spelling ‘licenses’ and virtually no grammar mistakes… so there’s that.

Oh, and drink lots of fluids. Remember your tattoo is just a pretty open wound. Eat and drink like you're trying to heal a bad scrape and fend off a cold and you should feel better.
Me, I try to keep clothes off my fresh tats as much as possible too--paanoid about chafage
