I recently put in an application to get a tattoo from this really amazing tattoo artist in Europe. The way he works is that he's so booked up that you just have to send an email with your tattoo idea and if he likes it then he will do it, and if he doesn't then you won't hear anything back, not even an email to say that they don't like it. Anyway, I sent him my tattoo idea and hadn't heard anything back for almost 2 weeks so I was really bummed out, as that specific tattoo is the only one I've ever wanted from him.

But finally today I got an email back saying that he likes my idea and wants to do it! The good and bad news is that they told me I'll be on a waiting list for anywhere up to 3 years. Bad because I want it now, but good because he's based so far away and the tattoo is ridiculously expensive, so that will give me time to start saving up and organising the trip.
