Tattoo

For two years I've known that I wanted 6 tattoos. All Lizards. On the last full day in Cornwall I got my first.

I like Lizards, they're like secrets. They can hide in the cracks and until the time is right. You wont see all their beauty until they're ready for it. You might catch a glimpse through the cracks in the foundations, but never all of it. The first one I got is behind my right ear, the tail just creeps around the bottom. He's tiny and perfect. The location is for my mind. Each lizard will gets his own spot with a reason behind it.

We went in and I said I wanted a lizard with a pointed head. When we came back in she'd drawn up a perfect lizard for me. Lexy got "Love" in swirly writing on her ankle. It was my first tattoo and the artist did the test line. I did not even feel it.

High pain threshold. He's healed completely now and I love him to bits (even if I do have to cover him for work). One down, 5 to go.
