tattoo

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain.
You've done it once you can do it again.
Whatever you done don't try to explain.
It's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain.

Pain.

Oh, she is a cruel Mistress.

The past few gruelling days of Dental Torment have seen me cowering in her wake but now, filled with the bravado of the foolish and recently drugged, I laugh in her face.

Ha ha! You cannot touch me now, cruel tormentor, for I have my drugs, my drugs, oh my sweet, sweet drugs..

which makes me wonder how I ever survived The Tattoo.

For many people, the primal penetrating nature of the tattoo is one of the most excrutiating things they will ever experience.
It must be said that most people also choose a relatively innocuous and weathered body part, such as a leg or arm, for their initiation.
But the Minx is not one to do things by halves.

One day perhaps, if you're very, very lucky I may show you The Tattoo.
But don't be disappointed if she is not revealed to you, for she is shy and reclusive and very well hidden.
As she should be, behind my panties.

A Mermaid of extraordinary beauty, I alluded to her a little while ago, teasingly making note of her latitude and longitude on my body.

Considering most people's logical aversion to pain, she occupies a most curious position, poised precariously at my groin, close enough to the Holy Grail to be considered Unholy.
Given the extraordinarily sensitive area in which the needle was to be jabbajabbbajabbajjjaaabingg I must have been insane to even consider her inclusion on my most tender flesh.

I was given a warning of what was in store when first mentioning her appropriation to the tattoo artist. A tall, thin, weedy crackwhore of a man, with a score of tattoos under his belt, up his arms and on his neck, he pursed his lips, raising one eyebrow, provocatively I thought, when I mentioned where I wanted inking.

"Ooh. It's gunna hurt, love. There." he offered.

"It's ok." I countered "I'm tough."

Noting his quick evaluation of my tiny frame and innocent visage I was stung by the all too smart insinuation of his winking nod.

"I am tough." I added unnecessarily.

"Yeah love, s'just a bitch down there love, know'da mean? Might really sting. Don't wanna hurt ya anuthin, love.'

"hmpphh"

It was my hardcore moment.
I was pumped and primed. It could hurt all it liked.
I lay back on the chair, pulled my knickers to the side, smiled stoicly at my crack whore and

OH MY GOD!!!
OHHHHH MMYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDD!

Essentially, it was the single most searing moment of my life.
I had been pierced by the Divine, my spirit moving through Space and Time to become the very embodiment of pain itself.
I remember gasping, gasping, laying back and biting my lip, feeling each prickprick prick prickprickprick until slowly, slowly something began to change...
There was a curious warm abandonment and the pain, the searing, stinging pain became as liquid, thick fluent and coursing through my veins in a sudden torrent of Psychedelia and Endorphins.

I was high.
High on the pain.

There's a fine line between pleasure and pain.
You've done it once, you'll do it again.

Oh it's a fine line, so, so fine.
I found it the day I was inked.

However, it doesn't need explaining that what was fine in the tattoo parlour will not be fine in the dental chair.

Pleasure? Pain?

I'm wanting and expecting neither.

And I'll have none of that fine line in between either...

Absolutely delicious.

I tink I just shot a little bit reading that.

And am suddenly urged to get some ink of my own. I've always wanted a little chain of skulls around my wrist to represent my brush with death, my mexican heritage, and the comedy of life.

I may be inspired...

Graduation for me is May 19..perhaps I'll get myself a little gift in June.

I'm so glad to hear that relief has arrived! Thank the GODDESS for pain killers!

My design is theoretically being perfected so that I might add some magical ink across the expanse of my lower back above my arse. Just low enough to peek out of the top of my ultra low waist jeans. I'm very much looking forward to it...and dreading it. Pleasure and pain indeed.

xox, Mistress M

Kitty, your design idea sounds fabulous! I love the influences you are drawing on for inspiration. How purrfect...
I really do think you should treat yourself with this symbolic gift as a Graduation present!!

Mistress M,

You delicious little thing! Your design is going to be so sexy. Especially there - a very provocative and sensual area.
Oh it will hurt. There will be pain, but the endorphin rush is quite unbelievable, and pleasurable.

I would love to know the nature of your design...

You continue to be a delight and an enigma, you naughty, naughty, very brave Minx...

I'm going to die dear minx.. or I'm simply crazy. I saw few minutes ago a post regarding "Simone", I post e response (I tried to be good in English) and Pfuuuu, no post, nowhere, did I drink too much at lunch sweety ?

Eddie,

I am quite the enigma.
And only brave sometimes.
Mostly just foolhardy...

Thank you

Violette,
That is horrible! It is there - it was not an illusion! Please try again.

My computer was behaving stupidly last night - I think it was the computer that was drunk, not you!!

my dear ms minx,
i have thoroughly enjoyed your subtle discussion of one of the most personal forms of self expression- the tattoo. I myself have entered my local parlor on more than one occasion.
Coincidentally, my first tattoo is of the image you displayed on your blog several days ago- the beautiful and magical OM symbol. It is located on my lower back in an area that is hidden unless I am in my downward dog. I am quite proud of it. Done in a quiet clean parlor by a man simply known as "Joe". Joe having much experience under his belt (pardon the pun) was careful and gentle, however the pain while excruciating was delicious and addictive. I went back for another two months ago, again "joe" my artist having inked an asian symbol of beauty on my right shoulder just above the blade. Beauty chosen for my life mantra - to seek the beauty in all things and in all people. again the pain well worth the meaning and the expression. you see minxy I cannot see my tats unless I look in a mirror and to me that is the ultimate form of self expression - for it is for the view of others, not myself.. and the pain/ pleasure was all mine... I have since been back to see my friend Joe this time he pierced my belly button. He has become an avid Yoga devotee and now my practicing student showing that we are all connected and we all are in service of each other. Thank you minx for honoring me with the reminder of the memory of my tattoos so eloquently captured in your words. And I suppose it wont be long before you are looking into the next inking for your collection as well!

I hope the teeth are settling and the drugs are strong and mighty!

Kimmykat,

Your exquisite words and choice of imagery reflect the extraordinary soul that lies within your presumably glorious, strong and beautiful body.
Beauty as a choice of mantra for your life is so perfectly embodied in all that you have chosen to do and share so warmly with others. Thank you for sharing with me.

I am honoured.

Perhaps it is all your good energy that has left me feeling revived, renewed and infinitely better.

Maybe it's just the drugs...

I find myself thinking more and more about redecorating myself...

Yours in magical minxiness and inkiness.

Wow, that so poetically explains why I have two tattoos. The "badness" of it, the pain that you deal with to get it, the bragging rights you have because of it, and there are so many more that I want... My first step was my belly button, then a tattoo on the back of my right shoulder, then on my mid lower back, like you kimmykat, it's my way of showing the world my personality is summed up in two tattoos and my devilish smile.

May 8, 2007 | Unregistered CommenterSabrina

Hi Sabrina,

One really earns the bragging rights!
Such a painful, yet rewarding, experience.
They are such a delicious expression and I love them.
Oh, what to say next - and where?

Luv n Hugs
