At today's appointment, after I got changed and walked over to the tattooing area, I saw Shinji had yellow, orange, and red inks in cups, ready to go. "We're doing flames today?" I asked. "Yes!" said Shinji, almost as excited as I was. Today was the day we started with color.
Shinji started straight away right under the left butt cheek. Fuck! I had forgotten how much that area hurts. Less than an hour later he had swing around the whole cheek, and was up by my ribs. He's making great progress, I thought. We'll be done these flames in no time.
It was only when we took a break, and I looked down, that I realized he had just done just the yellow tips of the flames. Crap! It was after that, for the next hour and a half, that he went back over the same area and colored in the reddish orange.
How do you color in a coloring book? I found myself wondering, as he worked. I suppose you do fill in one color, with one crayon, before switching to another color. It doesn't make sense to switch off between each color for each flame, does it....
