Not very ouch, really. It didn't hurt very much while it was done, just in waves, as the endorphine kicked in and faded; and now, 28 hours later, it doesn't hurt at all any more. I need to remember on purpose that I mustn't stretch the tattoo so it doesn't become uneven before it settles...

And I really liked your comment on the general football hangover. I read it out loud to my Brit visitor, even.
