It’s NOT as sore as people make out. In fact, it’s even below the flinch threshold.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about getting a tattoo.<\/p>\n

I went to Kevin’s Kustom Tattoos yesterday afternoon with my design in hand.<\/p>\n

The lovely Ethel did the hard work.<\/p>\n

And I listened to my music on my Nokia N91.<\/p>\n

While reading AS USED ON THE FAMOUS NELSON MANDELA: Underground Adventures In The Arms and Torture Trade by British comedian and activist, Mark Thomas.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Mark Thomas there were a few dodgy moments when Ethel had to pause for my laughing to stop.<\/p>\n

This is a painting of me getting the tattoo. Soon I’ll upload a rendering of the actual design. And you can laugh your head off and say, ‘Sheeeeeesh! Roy DOES do his very best to come across as a wise-ass eccentric.’<\/p>\n

And you’d be right.<\/p>\n

Now give them a call. And go get yourself inked. Here’s the number of the Cresta branch: +27 11 678 1595. And no… I do not receive free tattoos from them. I paid full price for mine. They just happen to be one of the best tattoo parlours in Africa, according to tattoo types.<\/p>\n

This painting was made in my bedroom on my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet pc using ArtRage 2.2<\/a> software with me listening to STADIUM ARCADIUM by The Red Hot Chili Peppers and noticing that it’s now 2am and I forgot to have supper! Damn.<\/p>\n
