So, I went in to get a simple memorial tatoo. It was my first. My artist said "Getting a tatoo releases the same adrenaline rush as using heroine". I couldn't relate, but I sat down anyways.

About 10 minutes into it, I started feeling light-headed...and told the guy I need a break. It's not that it hurt that bad, but...I ended up passing out. When I woke up, I had wet my pants. Yikes!

Being a 6' 200lb dude, I was quite embarrased...Only my wife knows about this (until now). I wonder if anyone has passed out on Miami Ink?

Yoji was tattooing a young woman on last week's episode and she started to get very queasy - they actually showed her going into the bathroom and leaning over the toilet. She hadn't eaten beforehand. Did you eat before you went? That may have been the problem. Also, Yoji was taking a looooong time.......
