Bleeding L♥VE in Red & White
Monday, October 5, 2009I finally found someone to bleed dry for…
…to bleed dry with.
By Jonas Ybañez of SKINDEEP Tattoo, 5 October 2009
Fifteenth of April
Thursday, April 16, 2009I woke up yesterday stupefied. The labyrinth of lies is no longer sealed with passionate kisses. It has now simply become a trap snapping you back to your senses. I didn’t cry this time. The tears are just too precious to waste on something, anything, worthless.
After a good wallowing I sent Charo, the girl with the dimples and the red car, an SMS.
“Hey Cha, nakapagpa tattoo na ka kang Bastien? Was thinking of having mine soon and wala koy magalgal ug adto. Let me know.”
[Hey Cha! Have you had your tattoo yet? Was thinking of having mine soon and I don’t have anyone to go with me. Let me know.]
After three minutes, her reply made its way to my inbox.
“Basin unya Chelle. Kuyog ka?”
[Maybe later Chelle. You wanna join me?]
And so before midnight struck, I got inked on both my arms and I still couldn’t get enough of the pain. It’s addictive. But it was perfect. The little tattoo shop, rhum and Red Horse with people I just met, cigarettes on the sidewalk, talking about love, deceit, fireworks and chasing happiness.
SURREAL. The pain, the intoxication, the realization, the conversation, the smiles and the dimpled girl driving a red car. Surreal. Pleasantly surreal.
Got Inked

My old friend Vincent opened a tattoo shop last week. Last night, my impulses spiked high that I got a letter “g” inked on my left shoulder.
