Pain

As of last Thursday, I have a tattoo.
The artist's name is Paul God. That is probably why I trusted him with my arm...

Why a snake (or is it a worm?)
And why the crown?

Trust me, you don't want to know! It is an inside joke between my partner and I. Which reminds me of a 70's or 80's song:

They're coming to take me away haha. They're coming to take me away hoho. To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time.
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats.
And they're coming to take me away.... HAHA!

Did it hurt? Well.... no. Just for half a minute or so, before my body started to make antibodies. But we are not talking about toothache-like ache here, - it just felt like being stung by a bunch of baby bees.

People often ask me about the afterpain of an implantation. I have not experienced it myself, but what I do know is that we give our patients two painkillers and the very vast majority only uses none at all or just one.

'No pain, no gain' is what they say. We are always willing to take up that challenge!
