    Booked in at 10:30am tomorrow for my first ever tattoo,a few days before my 45th birthday.

    You'll all be delighted to know it's going to be a picture of a fixie bike.

    Good luck. Not tempted by #FuckedIt (winky thing)?

    In other news, you and I must be virtually the same age. My 45th is also coming fast up the road.

    Good stuff. Be warned that they're addictive, you start with a little fixie bike on your ankle and five years down the line you're having a whole body suit done.

    I did the last sitting on my sleeve yesterday and it is now officially complete. In total about 24 hours in the chair, and more money than I wish to calculate.

    It's good to have a theme.

    Be fascinating to hear next how the tattooist manages to ink a pop-up bar atop a disused multi-storey car park...

    My six year old is coming with me as it's half term and a Mrs Shady is down South. Probably not ideal. Going to give her the tablet and headphones. She should be able to sit for an hour. Wonder if this early exposure will mean she has multiple tattoos by 18.

    I'm totally fine with people having tattoos. In fact there is some fantastic, in terms of meaningful and also attractive, ones on people I know. Yet I still can't really get my head around why I would possibly want one.

    Particularly as I get older and the canvas is clearly deteriorating.

    I suppose as my memory becomes more unreliable, some sort of aide memoir for who I am?

    By the time your 6 year old turns 18 tattoos will no longer be cool, because so many of our generation have so much ink that it will be seen as something old people do.

    As you get older, you no longer have to worry whether you'll regret them when you're old.

    I can't be arsed to arrange to go and sit in a hairdressers chair for half an hour. I'm fucked if I'm arranging 24 hours worth of sittings to have someone draw on me.

    They can buy their own fucking paper.

    Our oven has just received a software update. Presumably Neff are now listening in to my kitchen mishaps along with everyone else.

    Mrs Shady called me halfway through, as I'd just sent her a pic of the stencil thing he'd put on, saying make it a bit smaller. I was like er... Not sure that's possible it's almost done?!

    Sounds like she wants you to make your arms bigger.

    Yeah, I really need to work on that tbh. I've started trying to do a circuits class which is helping a tiny bit.

    Nice. You chose a good spicy part of the body to get your first one as well, inside of the forearm isn't super fun.
