Dynamite's Diary - 17th August 2021

I was able to get out of the hospital and get back to Dad's shack today, despite the doctors still worrying about my scarring. But let's be honest, both sides are now stitched up and it's not like I'll be getting any infection now, right? Right.

I will say that the scarring is pretty visible, but it's not the worst injury I've had. And I was pretty much blameless in this scenario. Unlike that time when some angry emo chick tried to hold me at gunpoint. Word of advice - sticking your finger into the barrel only works in the cartoons. Believe me, I know.

Either way, since it seemed as if that scarring was still going to be there for some time, I thought I might as well go the Nami route from One Piece and cover it up with a sweet tattoo for the front side. I've already got one on my left arm of a Devil Puppy, so why not get a kitten equivalent? It would make for a nice pairing. :D

Dad was not happy about that at first, until I told him that it was a Devil Kitten and not a Devil Cat. Then he was fine with it. It's weird - he adores kittens but cannot stand cats for some reason. He says that dogs are way superior and that cats are harbingers of doom, but he's just exaggerating. Maybe it's due to having to deal with God of Destruction when Mom made him pet-sit him that one time she went on vacation. Anyone who's have to deal with that cat is going to have some life-scarring afterwards.

The only downside about this is that I have to wait until I'm eighteen in order to get a permanent tattoo like Dad has, which is kind of a pain. But I've got quite a few body paints at home so I can paint them on myself. Sure, they wash out, but I have to admit, constantly repainting them on has actually improved my art skills quite a bit. And possibly made me into a contortionist.

Anyway, I did the painting and trust me, that tattoo came out great! Especially considering the fact that I had to paint it upside down in order to have it come out the right way up. Both Dad and I agreed that it looked awesome and that it went well with the arm tattoo, and best of all I could barely see that scar after all the paint I used on it. Still not sure what to do with the scar on the back, but maybe it's best to leave it there. Then I can boast about how "I survived a meet-up with a serial killer!" to anyone who asks. Also, given some of my other scars, I don't need to worry about it that much.

Now all I need to do is just buy some new body paints...
