Tattoo artist: Do you take some kind of pain suppressant before coming in?
Me: No. Why?
TA: Because this piece has taken a total of nearly nine hours and you never move.
Me: (That’s cause: Magick, my friend.)
Skin be steel flesh be stone
Nerves be strong, as gem or bone
Let pain be but kisses, or breaths of air
Magic be my armour, for i will not bear
Neither the sufferings of the dead or the agonies of hell
Runes of blood, now serve me well
Magick, my friend
