Just thought I should mention that the London Tattoo Convention is this month!
I think I'll be getting tickets. My best advice would be to try and go on the Friday if possible, as I've been twice before on the Saturday and sometimes it's just too crowded to be able to stop and look at any stalls for long.
I'm looking forward to looking at work by Simone and Volko from Buena Vista Tattoo Club in Germany, as I'm not sure how two artists tattoo together and I'd like to ask them about that... Also will be nice to see Boff from Divine Canvas who tattooed my foot, as he's a lovely guy. Plus, there are a lot of stalls from clothing companies (remember to get your cash out beforehand as sometimes there's a massive queue and the machines charge!) and jewellery companies. I usually find myself with a huge wodge of flyers from companies to check out once I'm home!
I think I'll be going on the Friday so I'll be sure to take some pictures!

Tongue split update!
So, it's been just over a week since I had my tongue split, and it appears to be completely healed! The last stitch dropped out Friday afternoon, and it actually feels much better without them pulling and without being able to feel them floating about when I drink.. Ugh.. I can eat perfectly normally, and my talking is pretty much fine.. I only get a bit slurred with the letter 'N'.
The worst day by far was the second day, when I was swallowing so much saliva I was being sick and it was swollen and painful, and that was the only day when I though "Oh god, what if it doesn't get any better!" But the next day I woke up feeling much better and it's only improved since then! The craziest thing is that a blister on my heel from the day before I had the split has actually taken longer to heal!
Despite what other people said, I was able to eat little things like chips from the start, and by the 3rd day was able to eat proper meals, which I think probably aided my healing no end. My boyfriend was unable to eat or a while with his, which I think may have left his body struggling to heal his split.
I have some screenshots from the split... Some of them are horrendously gory as my boyfriend was zoomed right in and you can see the scalpel doing it's thing in great detail. A bit weird watching it when it's your own tongue, but interesting to be able to associate the things I was feeling with what was going on... I'll upload some of the fresh pics and a pic from now it's healed up once I'm home.
Lastly, on a bit of a tangent, this girl is apparently doing well on X Factor. Good to see a pretty alternative girl doing well. I hope she goes far in the show and they don't try and change her look, as the Daily Mail claims.
