the tattoo palour

Today is our last day in Thailand, we have decided that without a degree getting a job here could be a little too risky. We can pay someone to get us a year visa to tour but if we get caught it could result in jail time. I for sure am not willing to take this risk, and Indonesia will hire us without degrees. I have an interview today via phone with an english language centre, much the same as what I was working at in China. Fingers crossed, would be great to have a job to walk into again.
So we are on a flight out with Garuda airways at 1.30 am in the morning, yep in the morning. That could be the end of me, having to be functional at that time, but ill give it a go.

Anyways, yesterday we check out of out 5 start luxury and booked into a 2 star jigger on the main road of Bangkok. We successfully checkout caught a cab to the new hotel without any dramas. We then headed out to book some tickets to Indonesia, another tick, and then to a cafe to print out some documents in hope that it will be enought to get us a visa on arrival. One requirement is an outward bound ticket, which we dont have, but we do have an outward ticket from bangkok so im hoping this will be good enough.
We picked up our laundry and happily strolled around the markets.

Luke who has been sussing out tattoo palours, stumbled across a place in a department store and headed in. Upon going in I was handed a pamphlet for massages and was won immediately.
So we sat down at the tattoo joint while he looked at pictures, i shopped in the surrounding shops, very naughty but i have some nice dresses, he picked out a tattoo bargained on theprice and was set. Being told it would take 1.5 hours, I took off to the massage palour and bookd in for an HOUR OF FULL BODY OIL MASSAGE. (Cost me $11)
She was AMAZING didnt hurt me and was very gentle, and yet pushed the stress out of every inch of my body.

I returned to the tattoo place to find that the dude had only finished the outline.
Luke said he was mucking around heap. He seemed more interested in playing air guitar and changing needles 10 times before doing anything. I asked how much longer, half and hour. Cool ill wait and watch. On first glance I could not tell where he was up to in the picture and when I asked, yep, he had done the first colouring wrong. haha
He was able to fix this mistake with black and kept going.
After 1.5 hours, I had had enough and heeaded out shopping.Luke wantee me to stay and watch for any mistakes, but hey, not really my responsibility and after having a massage standing there supervising was not really my plan.I was only gone for half an hour and upon returning the idiot had gone over the blue and put yellow there, im like what the, and luke relpied, I told you not to leave.
Still playing air guitar and mucking around with changing music, the death metal shit, I was laughing at the situation.
I corrected him many times within the next HOUR from making mistakes. I cant beleive that he was sooooo wrong. At this point I mentioned to Luke reminding him that before he started I had said, this guy is on something, after watching his eyes and body language, he was not a typical thai guy. He took a toilet break and came back n a lather of sweat and I asked Luke if he thought he should continue. Yep, Luke thought it was all funny(at thetime)
I stopped the guy 2 more times from colouring in the wrong spot, and after a heated debate about him saying its ok, its ok i can fix, luke thrrew 4000 baht at him and stormed out.

HE WAS SOOOO ANGRY (not funny anymore,except for me)
So we walked back along the markets to find the other tattoo palour to see if he could fix it. The guy laughed. So did I
All good this clean, quite place that looked quite professional fixed up the masterpiece.
I left him at this place as id had enough and he seemed to have his head screwed on.
He came back abot an hour later, well and truely over getting the tattoo.
So, a once really good cheap idea turned into a scarred for life situation with a really good story.
Luke however will probably not learn anything from this. He will in doubt do something just as stupid in another day or two.
