I was in Dunnes just going down the escalator talking with one my friends
And lady behind me just came up and said excuse me, like no offense of anything but
your ears are disgusting
You know some people tend to think that if they say No Offense first, then they can say whatever they want
but I was like do you ever hear that if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all
She was like oh yeah but i just had to say that and I said you didn't really
She said if you were my son I'd kill you and my mate turned around and he goes that goes both ways doesn't it
She wasn't that old and the woman that was in front of her when she walked off was like "I heard her say that to you, thats horrible, do you get that a lot?"
and I was like yeah a little bit, you get good and bad attention with tattoos or piercing
I've had people ask me was I in prison because I have tattoos on my face
But like I don't even have a criminal record
I knew Aine, just from being around Dublin, I worked in Dublin and getting pierced
We all kind of know each other around there but I heard there was a shop opening up here
I was actually going to think about asking them but before I even got a chance I got asked would I come down and work
I was just always interested in getting pierced and tattooed so
Got my first piercing when I was fifteen, it was my eyebrow and yeah I was pretty scared to death
getting it done. And the guy that was going to do it pierced his friends before me
and didn't tell me it was a friend and sent her out with blood running down her face that he just let happen.
it doesn't normally happen anyway he just did that to scare the *** out of me
First tattoo was actually a week before my 19th birthday
so it was just a little tribal symbol but I nearly passed out getting it done and everything
It was more just nerves and fear. It didn't actually hurt getting it done.
I get a lot of people coming up saying its really cool looking work and they wish they
could do it but the jobs they have; they could never get away with it
you get a lot that, I get that everyday from strangers on the street to people in pubs
Its a good conversation starter too
