Yesterday I had my first tattoo appointment since October and it was time for my Blue Tang to be born. I absolutely love it and the blue is just outstanding. Fish-wise my upper left leg is almost complete and then it will be time to work on the lower leg (and my right leg, of course). Whilst I was there I booked my next appointment for 21st May to continue with my left leg. I think that one of the best things about yesterdays appointment was to be back at Midnight Tattoo with the great environment that I always experience there.

I have decided that now is the time to get myself back into art college. I know there’s a course I want to do at my local college so I’m going to e-mail their Admissions team tomorrow. On Friday I plan to take a trip up there to pick up a prospectus and to see if there is any chance for me to talk to someone there running the course or a member of the admissions team face to face. Ideally I would also like to be able to talk to someone who can advise me on the financial side of things (as I will be a mature student and plan to take out a student loan. If I’m too late to get in for this academic year I will apply for next year. We’ll see. In the mean time I shall get a portfolio together (easy) and save lots of money (not so easy).
