Summer in Beloit

So... 4:30pm on Friday came, and I steeled my nerves to go and tattoo myself. I had been thinking about getting a tattoo for about 2 years, and I figured the time had finally come. I head downtown, with three friends, all hyperventilate-y about my impending experience. (I should add that i have a pretty big fear of needles and pain). By the time we get there, I am ready and excited to get me tattoo... only to discover that they are closed for the weekend.
I'd like to call it a coincidence, but i don't think i can. Many months ago, my cousin and I decided to get tattoos. Admittedly, this was completely on a whim, but we figured we were big girls and could handle it. Same tattoo parlor, same trepidation, same fear, and in the end, same "Closed" sign. You can imagine our disappointment then, amplify it a couple times and that was my disappointment at my second closed sign.
So, today (for the third time), I will go to the tattoo place, I will get all nervous and excited, and if I find the place closed...I will be very angry.
Here's hoping!
