You can get robbed with or without a tattoo I’m not sure what sense this makes

Everyone always wants to pass judgement. Except they don’t like it in return.

My question for something like this is, why comment? Twice? If you don’t like it, okay, move on.

That’s it. I’m done.

For now.





I also never thought I would have tattoos. Mine aren’t as awesome as yours but also has serious meaning behind the cliche that are all my kids’ names in simple font.

So much easier than the old way. Keep it on a week then hydrating cream for a week and your all good.

Given my time again, I wouldn't get the ones I have now, I would probably be tempted by the wonderful art work that is available now.

Here is the only pic I have of my raven. Just finished some touch ups.

Would like to get a rib piece, and sleeves eventually.

we did different things when we were growing up, like putting gel in our hair, or wearing designer t-shirts, leather jackets were massive aswell.

lots of drinking aswell, and lots of sport and music.

but no mutilation or ink.
