Alternating positions and sleeping solo.

So far i haven't had any trouble with the healing process *knocks on wood*. The process of applying the ROSKEN Skin Repair cream requires a little stretching and twisting especially for those hard to reach sections. I'd like to think those Yoga/Pilates days are responsible for my ability to contort my body.

During the initial stage of healing, i would agree that it's acceptable for women to run around topless. Not because my inner exhibitionist wants to be released but having fabric touching the newly inked surface is like having a bad sunburn and sandpaper rubbing up against it. Not so pleasant.



My first night, i spent lying face down and alternating between the log and the fetal position. It's these kinds of moments that i'm grateful i was blessed with breasts that teenagers rave about when they're struggling through puberty.

And if you've ever had a sunburn, you'll know that as you turn to the other side, it feels like your flesh is being stretched. It's not painful only slightly uncomfortable. Honestly, it just requires some getting used to. And in no time the top layer will shed much like a snake and eventually reveal fresh, shiny coloured flesh where the pigment has been injected.

But it's only Day 3 and i've got another week or so till i get to that stage. So patience is the key and opting for a top that is the softest cotton will minimize the 'itch' effect. Plus keeping yourself distracted that way you don't think about it too much.

Oh and should you be so lucky as to share a bed with your partner or someone you are affectionate towards, have a looksy what it says about your relationship based on how the both of you sleep [click here].

according to chris, I do a combo of the Soldier and the Yearner lol

in terms of our position together- we're currently doing the cliff-hanger. I swear, there is nothing nicer than to have a big bed so that when we turn around he doesn't punch me in the face anymore LOL

We both like a lot of personal space in general. We have a huge bed now compared to the one we started out with so we're going through that "aaaaaaahhhhhh wheeeeeeee soo much spaaaaaaace" phase at the moment.
