MY FINGERS ARE LIKE ICEY POLES

today at work (and by today i mean yesterday as its now 2am) was surprisingly busy, i barely had time for a cup of tea throughout the day which is completely appalling. the better part of the day was spent in the tattoo area at work, which is for the most part, teeth chatteringly cold. the only saving grace is the ageing pot belly fire on the far side of the room, when one of the lads is cordial enough to light it. but today just seemed to have that bitter chill in the air that left me willing the infallible warmer to really put its back into it.
i knew today was going to be that particular kind of cold from the minute i stepped out the door and trekked the entire six and a half minutes to work. the coolness of the air felt sharp in my sinuses and the light fog gave the eerie feeling that the day was much earlier than it actually was. lucky i finally warmed my insides at the close of the day with a nip (maybe a wee bit more than a nip) of red wine and a quick car dance party.
i meant to take a photo of the ornate key that i tattooed today on a lovely fashion design student, but alas i forgot as my brain was frozen along with my extremities. so heres something i made instead.
