An itch that wants to be scratched

The Clarion Call, the mindless thought, the restless gnawing.

When there's nothing that can quench you, nothing that will relieve the desire. Nothing you do or say or think will take your mind off of it.

No, there's nothing but getting in that chair, leaning back, relaxing and let the relief wash over you as the expert works on you. With deft hands, skilled moves, love of the art, their energy soothes the desperate need.

The beauty of the process heals you from the inside out and when you're done, the smile replaces the frown. The joy erases the irritation.

And the quizzical look on people's faces when they try to figure out what's different with you just brings you more happiness.

Yup. There's nothing like getting a new tattoo. 🧭
