Mikachu, oh Mikachu...What do we do with you?

Fine. FINE. I'll write about it. But only because I want to.

Have I told you about my pet, Mikachu? Well, she's this crazy, freak I know, and I love to death. She's funny, random, quirky, impulsive and all the things I'm not. I'm not going to make this verbose, and just say that Miks is one of the bestest things that have happened to me in a while. She's THE ideal gal pal. :)

So I get this random call from her yesterday, telling me she wanted to meet up. Huh? On a Sunday afternoon? Can't it wait? NO. It can't. Meet at Bandra, will give instructions when you alight. 5ish. Click, went telephone.

Sigh. OK. Off I waddled (standing in the train all the way to Bandra) and I was given mafia style instructions by Mikachu's boyfriend (what do we call him?) to get to the place they were. What the fuck was with the suspense anyway? Were these people into drugs? Sex trafficking? With a weird sense of foreboding, I reached the place I was asked to come to. And was given a big grin and a welcome by her boyfriend (who we shall call Y) and I understood.

Of course. A tattoo parlour. I KNEW it.

We enter the tattoo parlour, and I'm greeted by a HUGGGGEEEEEE scream and a big hug from Mikachu. Followed by an annoyed look by the tattoo artist, who smiles at me. My eye wanders over to Mikachu's left ankle where inscribed is one of the most beautiful tattoos I've ever seen. It's in the form of a creeper, but instead of just leaves and flowers, there are words that the creeper is made of. 12 words, that describe Mikachu, or are symbolic of what she wants to be. Beautiful idea, really. And what I loved most about the idea is, that the entire idea was designed by Y, and the words are in his handwriting. The tattoo artist made an exact copy of the design, and inscribed it. That's what makes it so much more special. Y was only short of tattooing her himself! :)

I admit my teeth went all chatter-y with the ugly buzz of the needle. I hate the sound. I'd prefer getting poked in my gums by a dentist (which I quite like, actually), but to each, his own. At the end of the business, Mikachu has a beautiful tattoo and a lovely smile pasted on her face (which got a bit alarming later since she refused to stop smiling). I'd have posted pictures of her tattoo, except she doesn't want 'plagiarizing whore bitches hijacking her lovely, lovely tattoo'. Fair 'nuff!

People get weird stuff tattooed onto themselves. And in weird places too. The guy who owned the tattoo parlour Mikachu was in, has a tattoo on his tongue, and even on the soft skin below the tongue (and behind your lower teeth). Ouch! That mustn't have felt ticklish. There are some wierdos who get their girlfriends' faces etc. tattooed on various parts of the body. Just one question for these losers.

What do you do when you break up? ;)

Edited to add: As of now, we have 21 Moo-isms. For those who want to see a seperate post for them, keep adding more pearls of wisdom. :D Man, I feel like Bruce Lee! :P

@ G@k,

I don't remember all the twelve words. Maybe Mikachu herself could enlighten us when she reads the post, so stay tuned. And yeah, I agree to the rest of the comment. But tattoos and painless doesn't quite go together, so fuck it. :P

Hahaha! Loved the Moo-ism. :P

@ Crowley,

God, you a tattoo guy too?? Give me the link to the tattoo post instead of me hunting, please!

And about the breakup bit, I think if the whole relationship turned messy, you could get a moustache inked on her face! :P

Moo said...

@ G@K (again),

No. I DON'T mean Moo-se Lee. :P We have to draw the line SOMEWHERE. ;)

@ Mikachu,

God, woman! Go start your own blog! Who the fuck heard of the comment being longer than the blog? :P And could you try and CONVINCE Y to work at the tattoo parlour for some hours? He could perhaps whip up some interesting butterflies for the fools who come in, anyway. :P But on second thoughts, let's not. :D

And I love how this place is turning into a chat thingy! You guys are making 'fraands' here! :P

@ Overrated,

Dude! You're finally here! We'd given up for dead! Were you AWOL all this while whipping up the new Moo-isms? :P

@ G@k and Mikachu (AGAIN!),

I can't keep up with your speed for commenting. I'm a cow, not a horse!
