Gurgi & DP go to Newtown..
..and get tattoos! 
oh yeah.. we finally did it.. we finally scarred our bodies for life with pretty pictures
how can you not do it?..
our day in Newtown started off with a pleasant 30 minute bus ride through scenic midwales.. mind you.. we only discovered the bus service between Welshpool and Newtown a couple of days before .. and you guessed it.. green rolling hills .. and sheep! .. plus lil bits of canal.. a horse stable.. was pretty good
first up.. it was straight to the tattoo parlour! ..Gavin Steele’s tattoo parlour to be exact…

now.. we hadn’t planned this as such.. it was a case of deciding that we were gonna do it.. and getting it done within days.. before we could change our minds
..guess who was the lucky one that went first.. *chuckles* i decided to get my lil dragon hatchling permanently attached to me..

Gavin did a brilliant job of my tatt.. and as much as it was painful.. it was well worth it.. it only took 40mins.. and he was nice enough to give me a stress ball to squeeze the life out of when the pain was almost too much.. *chuckles*
DP decided to get a tree frog tatt on his chest.. unlike mine..

his tatt was from one of their many sheets of designs.. and the best frog one he could find.. he also go to lay on a comfy bench with a pillow!
DP’s tatt took about an hour.. and guessing by the distinct shape change of the stress ball.. and the sweat left on the bench..

it hurt a lil bit *smiles* ..but it looked great! ..again.. brilliant job done by Gavin! 
..once we had a pint to celebrate the occassion.. we went exploring.. guess what we found!
naturally we were in quite a spritely mood from the events that occurred earlier..

and decided to dance on the stone circle.. and dance we did! .. thas DP thinking he’s on some surf wave in Oz i think.. *ponders*
ah yeah.. that beanie had me spotted all over town.. *giggles ‘n hugs beanie* ..we even got stopped by people.. they thought it was my beanie that had me smiling my head off..

if only they knew what i had hidden on my shoulder blade
so im guessing a tattoo update is needed even tho i’ve only just blogged about getting them done.. it’s been just over 2 weeks and they have healed amazingly well..
..as you can imagine.. my parents will not be impressed.. but i’m sure they’ll understand my reasoning for doing so.. plus dun the dragon look so gawd damn cute?! .. *pets dragon*

[...] Ever since I was a young boy many moons ago, I have always had a fascination for those lil amphibious creatures - from trying to protect and breed them in my parents back garden to getting one tattooed on my chest during May 2006 in Newtown by Gavin Steele. [...]
