@SeeSea. There's a couple of nice ones in there. I made a point of riding to my bottle o the other day to purchase some Aspalls but they were all out. Went the Ol' trusted Bulmers instead.
I've noticed you guys have a truck load of different ciders on tap there. I'm envious.
I'm thinking a U.S.A trip might be on the cards one of these days.
I wanna ride your roads for one. A mate just returned again from riding a 30 day trip through the States. He had a blast! What to do!!.. Just started saving for another motorcycle.

Pain meds & alcohol. A great combo, at anytime. Especially for breakfast.

@Shaggy. Nice one! It's funny the cold alcoholic beverage in the warm shower routine. It's one of those secret handshake in the know kinda deals.

Some are related by blood, others born out of respect.

That's it! Slam em in I say. Anyway, when you got coverage man, placement means fuck all, "tramp stamp" terms alike cease to hold any relevance...that's if we gave a fuck to begin with. And people coining these terms anyway? are people I'd have nothing to do with. Gronks. It just means we gotta get more tattoos, so we don't fit in with the norm of people these days wanting to ink down.

@Mick Weder
I love it, I thought I was the only one after a tattoo session would go home and have a few beers in the shower. Generally take 2 beers into the shower and drink both while caring/cleaning my new work. Nothing like having beers in the shower. :)

People don't always agree with me on this BUT......
I chose to alter my body in a way I knew at the time (and still to this day) that society was not going to fully accept!
I was not born this way.......so no one else is to blame but me!
I knew how stupid people are and how they would treat me....and I was pretty much right!
BUT....I made that conscious decision to do it anyway!
If I had been born this way then their judgements would have been down right ignorant....BUT....the people who give anyone crap about tattoos are just mindless sheep that will follow the rest of the herd right off a cliff if the rest head that way! Be proud you made the decision to be different....YOU are being who you are while they just follow trends!
Some women decide to get tattooed to adorn their bodies and some get those goofy little (imo) designs painted on their finger nails for $100+ dollars.......to each his/her own!

@Bunny Switchblade you are a gem, and thank you for the words of wisdom. I'll be taking a leaf out of your book if any further tattoo shaming happens and say "fuck 'em!" :D

And good for you doll! :)
You are really finding yourself in all of this!
I grew up in a time where it wasn't acceptable for a young lady to be tattooed.....but then I was not a "lady" by most people's standards so I didn't give a fuck to be honest!
It's great that these people are showing you who they are upfront......makes it so much easier for you to decide if you want them in your life!
I was told with my first professional tattoo that I better develop a very thick skin because society was going to not accept a big ol' butterfly on my left breast.....and very visible too....LOL
It made it very easy to figure out who belonged in my life and who didn't....and that included family!
Now everyone seems to want to be fully covered over night.....silly people!
Take your time babe and get tattooed at a speed you are comfortable with BUT never again be ashamed of any tattoo you get....it is who YOU are....not them....and you should be proud of who you are! <3

Really like this, it's a beautiful way to look at it.

And that @Breakme is what will continue your path of inner strength, that only those who are committed to becoming heavily tattooed will ever understand.
As someone mentioned on this forum a little while ago, it's a visual representation of loyalty, commitment & strength.
Never a truer word spoken which sums it up perfectly in any context of conversation with anyone at anytime. There's no need for further elaboration to those who don't understand this concept.

@Breakme. In another post you make mention of personal struggle regarding confidence.
For a lady that rides and commits to becoming heavily tattooed, I'm taking a punt that your doing just fine. :)

Most definitely this, and always look where you want to go to avoid target fixation.
