Had it about 10 days now and it's finally healed, but thought I'd mark the recent good news by getting myself a tattoo. At the grand old age of 49 it's only my second one. Hurt a bit, although the previous months of needles and tubes raised my pain threshold a bit so wasn't too bad.
Besides, any pain was all worth it in the end 
Felt like the right thing to do
It's on my upper arm so it's kind of hidden too so only really visible when I've got a smaller or tight top on - not that I have many of them in my wardrobe since losing 3 stone in weight
