Well, it was a long summer but I am finally back at home.  From now until April, all of my business trips will be one day, or at most an overnight.

Back at home, I am having an easier time re-entering my sub mindset.  Last year, I had a very hard time readjusting after returning from the summer.  After four months of being on my own, in control, and working twelve to sixteen hours a day seven days of week, I had rebelled against giving up my freedom again.

This year, I have been able to put my collar back on, take a deep breath, and feel contented.  I still need my leather collar.  Before I left for the summer, Mistress and I picked out a heavy silver snake chain necklace for me to be my permanent collar.  We still need to have the clasp changed from a lobster clasp to something that locks, but even so, it is still symbolic.  I have been wearing necklaces for over fifteen years before I began D/s, so most of the day I don’t feel it on my neck.  My leather collar, I feel that.  It is tighter across my neck, and is much wider so that whenever I turn my head, I can feel the leather pressing against my throat.  I can feel the weight of the buckle against my collar bone, and that feeling helps me fine balance within myself.

Last week, I told E about a woman I saw in a store.  I felt I had to tell her because of the reaction I had to this woman.  This woman was cute, not pretty, but the moment I saw her, I had an intense sexual attraction.  She was about 5′ 5″ average build, but it was how she was dressed that I reacted to.  She was a mix of goth and white trash, and .  Her hair was dyed very close to black and put up on her head, she has multiple piercings, nose, eyebrow, lip, and her makeup while not true dark goth, was still darker than most people would wear.

When I told E about the event.  She asked me if I was attracted to piercings.  I told the truth, and said yes.  She looked at me, and then told me that she would be willing to get a genital piercing if I was willing to get a tattoo showing her ownership of me.

Now, we have talked about tattooing before.  I am not opposed to the idea, but I have had some concerns about the process.  I have psoriasis, and have had it since middle school.  I now have about 15 to 20% of my body covered with the stuff.  I know from past experience that if I get a cut, or abrasion on my skin, I am more likely to develop a new patch of psoriasis at that location.  Since tattooing traumatizes the skin, I have been worried about causing a new outbreak.  But since this last discussion, I have done more research on tattoos and psoriasis, and it appears to have a low rate of causing new outbreaks.  Especially if you follow the aftercare procedures.

So I have been looking for tattoo ideas online…
