Fainting

this week has been interesting , Tonight I had a client from france who was a merchant marine , I spent an hour drawing a tahitian design across his back , adding on to a tattoo he had started in paris a few years ago.

We spoke about his life and some of the experiences that he has had since he has been a sailor , storms through to pirates, after about an hour of tattooing he asked for a small break so he could have a drink of water, as I stopped tattooing , he undid the lid of his water bottle he looked in my direction and I saw that he was lacking color in his face indicating he was close to fainting . He drew he water bottle to his lips to take a sip but didn't quite make it , he passed out and as I held him to make sure he didn't fall and hit his head on the floor I heard a strange gluging sound , as I looked around I realized although this guy had lost all coniusnes he was still gripping tight to his water bottle and pouring all his water on the floor.

As I placed him on the floor in the recovery position he kicked over the stool and his leg landed on the foot switch turning on my tattoo machine at the same time as getting tangled in the stool, what a mess.

I got him on the floor in the recovery position , unplugged the tattoo machine and untangled my client from the stool and puddle of water , this whole experience took about 20 seconds at which time my client awoke and was pretty freaked out as can be expected , he recovered and we finished his 3 hours of tattooing. So if you getting tattooed make sure you eat before hand., generally after some one has past out I ask them if they had a dream , which most people do yet they cant remember what the dream is, other than it was nice.

thats it for tonight , back to the grind tomorrow.
