Funny coincidence reading this as I'm currently contemplating a tattoo...not on my ankle...that's for sure! I do have a about 7 ear piercings and well, the pain wasn't too bad with that... :)
Love the advice about getting a gouger to tattoo your finger - and something about the voice makes me believe they know exactly what they're talking about!
Fantastic voice. I love the thoughtfulness in it as he considers each tattoo, and the way he addresses the reader ("like this one, see?"). You don't even need the photo, though that's a nice touch. :) Great job! Thanks for linking up with the gargleblaster this week!
A different kind of ouch. Love the voice of this piece.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Tattoos have to be done by professionals. I have six.
ReplyDeleteWould you agree that the bony areas hurt the most?
DeleteI would!
DeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of getting a tattoo soon....enjoyed the tone of this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, C.C., and good luck with your tattoo!
DeleteGlad I can do without that sort of pain, lol.
ReplyDeleteMe too. :)
DeleteI've never wanted a tattoo myself--the pain would just be an extra reason to avoid one. I liked the voice in this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marcy. I don't have any tattoos either, but I find them interesting.
DeleteI was actually able to visualize this conversation. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCreative take on the prompt! Love the voice of your narrator. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne!
DeleteI have never had a tattoo and I admire those who can take the pain of going through one! Liked the laid back voice in this one :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI can totally hear the narrator's voice when I read it !
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear! Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteWell I wasn't tempted before, but this has well and truly put me off. My bony ankles are wincing.
ReplyDeleteI remember getting my ears pieced as a teenager. Everyone said, it didn't hurt and I believed it. It was bearable but it stung. Good take on prompt.
ReplyDeleteAs others have written, great voice! Love that last line, "All bony."
