I started using the Gillette on the side of my head last night so my skin wouldn’t be so inflamed today. My mum helped me finish the job shortly after I woke up at around 1:30.
It feels really strange having completed shaved scalp, it was extremely uncomfortable to shave and it left my skin extremely sensitive. It was really weird seeing my scalp like that, there were all kinds of veins I had never seen before on the side of my head.
I got a call after I finished showering, it was Max from Tattoo Power. Max explained to me that his earlier appointment had been canceled and I was right to come in. I was very pleased that the day was working out so well, and I told him I’d be there in 30-45. I called Ricky, who came and picked me up, ate some pizza and left.
We got there at about 3pm I had some idea of what I wanted, and when Max showed me what he had drawn, I really liked his design and explained what I had in mind. I originally wanted a blunt with an open end with visible weed with a red star behind it.
Max thought that it would be better with just a glowing circle, he showed me what he meant and I thought it was a much better idea. He quickly drew up the rest of the design and showed me. I thought it was P good.
Needless to say, getting it done on my scalp was really painful. It sort of felt like he was using a jigsaw on my skull. However, it was easily bearable, as the pain was kept very uniform/consistent. Max was steady and finished it in a short amount of time.
On the drive home, it felt like someone had cut out a piece of my head right where my tattoo was, I had pins and needles down the whole left side of my face. About 7 hours later, I started getting symmetry pains on the other side of my head. You can really feel that all those nerves on the side of your head are completely numb from being molested earlier.
Apart from funny feeling nerves, the pain has largely subsided, Max explained that it would heal good since it’s on my head. The bleeding has already stopped and the skin doesn’t feel irritated at all.

I’ve always liked tattoos.
I’m getting pretty old now and I figured if I didn’t start now it might get too late.
Woke up at like 2pm, mum cooked me breakfast and we planned our daytime activities:
1. Book myself for a tattoo
2. Look at some North Face jackets at P.P. in Braddon (for my mum, i picked one up just before winter started [like a boss]).
Looked up a tattoo place in Lyneham, mate reckons his dad got one there and it was p. good.
Rocked up to Tattoo Power in Lyneham, explained that I wanted a joint or a blunt on my head, behind my ear.
Lady asks: “You mean a scoobie?”
I say: “Yeah, haha, a doobie.”
Lady shouts at a guy, asks if he’s busy now. The guy is doing his homework, and reckons it’s probably best to book in since it’s gonna be on my scalp.
Booked it in for 4pm, Friday. The tattooist name was Max and he had neck and face tattoos, which gave me confidence in his abilities to tattoo my scalp.
Looked at some jackets, bought some.
Day success, returned home, got blazed, dominated the afternoon and night also.
