INKtober day 17: SWOLLEN.

Portrait of my sweet sister, who broke her ankle which at first was too swollen to have surgery.😓😭💕

Finally living up to my instagram handle @fuxprinzessin - I got to do a little cuddly foxen for the amazing Sarah* 🐺💕

Thank you so much!! May the fluff always be with you!

* who's name I just learned yesterday because up to now she had been "Zombie Bambi" for me. Derby Problems. 😁

Base tattoo by Minerva's Linda , supplementary colors by derby. :D

PS: Should go without saying but -- don't grab people (without prior consent) to look at their tattoos! Ever!!

I had that awkward moment:

When you go to the rink to practice during free skate and you are the oldest one there. I didnt even have my kids with me to hide behind! Hahaha

Post-Derby Shower Ritual

Featuring such classic moments as:

- I Am Super Tired But I Stink So I Guess We’re Doing This

- Everything Stings and Velcro Can Go Fuck Itself

- Is That Dirt or Is It A Bruise??

- …Bruise.

- How Can One Human Produce So Much Salt?

- Who Didn’t Trim Their Nails Before Practice?

- I Don’t Remember Getting Hit There

- How Much Soap Till My Hands No Longer Smell Like Wristguard?

- Sitting Down Is A Perfectly Valid Shower-Taking Position

- A Nap Would Be Really Nice Right Now, I Probably Wouldn’t Drown, Right?

and

- Why Does Everything Hurt? Oh Right, I Play Roller Derby

Everyday is arm day when your car lacks power steering. ..

Even if you happened to have played an extremely rough bout the previous night and your arms are super sore as a result. Not to mention the screaming left knee on the clutch. Despite it all, still feel awesome about the fact I can derby and drive manual transmission.

sports bras exist for a reason.

You remember one of the reasons you should always change into the appropriate undergarments when, at practice, one of your derby team mates hits you so hard that it snaps your underwire in two and shapes the wire to the contour of her shoulder.

Just a Lil of lioness licking some minor wounds,

Such as the elbow that took the brunt of that fall (driving was hell), bruise on my bum and the pain in the chub rub area do to stockings ripping open during practice. (And no not literally because, erm, not really a cat and probably wouldn't leave the house if my mouth could get that close to the no no place).
