A friend, a tattoo, and a lesson about pain.
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.
I got my first tattoo in Washington. My friend, Doreen, is the Queen of Tattoos, a walking gallery of flesh made art.
When I told her I wanted a detailed scallop shell and the words Buen Camino in script across the mid-line of my left foot she cringed. The foot is highly sensitive, especially along the bones. But I wanted what I wanted.
Like a true friend, Doreen had a plan: we go together, I don’t look at the artist, I pretend the sound of the tattoo gun is white noise, and the sensation of the needle is nothing more than vibration.
I have a fine tattoo and a lesson: pain is often a matter of perspective. And, if you can share it with a friend, it’s borne twice as well.
This is the place to thrive together. Come for the stories - stay for the magic. Speaking of magic, would you share a nice rating/review on iTunes.
