Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
They scored two touchdowns in 24 seconds at the end of the second half!
They're still winning.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't get anything perceptible from either tat outing. Even exercise I don't like pays off better than that.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Then I am still in the game. Or willing to try it out.
I mean, there was a pleasant sensation once the OUCH and $%^&NEEDLE@#$% stuff went away, but not enough to make it worth it had I not wanted some permanent darkness on my skin.
Maybe I should try martial arts. If I can find one where I won't be hit?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Y'all are reminding me. We has krav here now! On the one day a week we aren't fencing, maybe soon once we're over the flu.

Capoeira, some versions of kung fu, depending on the school. But the adrenalin rush is more intense the more intense the potential jeopardy, I find, and that pays off in the aftereffects.

Get bigger tattoos? I totally got an endorphin rush from my back piece and the bats on my forearm.

But I can start there and work my way up to knowing that I am going to be hit? I mean, I live with gravity and it's mean to me but I am conditioned.
Get bigger tattoos?
Not until there is something that I *need* bigger. Really, I'd rather be hit in the face than get a random tattoo. I am fine with random bruisese, less so tattoos. Heck, I am used to random bruises. Some quite impressive.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett's been doing it for a couple months and he hasn't been hit yet. He's had to hit the floor a lot (they spend a lot of time practicing falls and scrambling away), and he's done a lot of punching and kicking. At his school, they don't do bouts until green belt level.
OTOH, Emmett and his friends hit each other pretty hard on a daily basis at school. (His frenemy Kolby, unprovoked, stomped on his instep. So when Kolby wasn't looking Emmett punched him in the kidney. That's like daily 13 y.o. boy stuff.)

Honey, gravity doesn't really love you. I know it says it does, but it's telling you LIES.

Okay, good point. I just always assume people have a list of tattoos they're waiting to get. (At last count it's something like 7 for me, possibly 8 if I can talk Pete into the design.)
