I'm normally a private person, but I believe I know why I got so many tattoos in a short amount of time.
I know I've been jovial about getting them, but the real reason I got them is because of depression.
My tattoo artist - is male - and is bright, bubbly and good to be around. That's why I kept going back.
As some people will know, tattoos is certain locations, cane to the max. I knew that it was only short term pain, so I persevered.
Having said that, I don't regret getting one tattoo.
Tattoos were my stress relief.
My wife has a permanent disability and will never work as a nurse or vollie ambo, ever again. She has excellent skills, which she now can't use.
Money is not the issue. It's been the stress of me doing shift work, house work, garden work and her permanent disability.
My wife is on permanent medication and feels pain, quite often.
Going off road with her, is now out of the question. I do enjoy solo camping, but I do enjoy going camping with the wife.
Her train of thought and energy has now gone towards helping baby kangaroos, whose parent is no longer with us.
Like many of you, I live day by day.
Today has enough challenges without worrying about tomorrow.
I am not ashamed to tell you all that I have sought, and will continue to seek, professional help in dealing with this issue - depression.
Take care, God bless, and I love you all - unconditionally.
