I was actually born in Aberdeen. We moved to Australia when i was 9 and i always felt like I had missed out on something by being taken away from my childhood home. I hadn’t. I went back expecting it to be magical, to feel like i finally belonged somewhere. I struggled to keep positive while living there, of course, as in most things, there are ups and downs. Aberdeen wasn’t at all like i remembered. A lot more violent and consumed by drug culture. I did, however, meet some fantastic people and caught up with friends i’ve known forever. I had a lot of laughs and I drank a lot of alcohol, it’s a requirement heh. I’d say go for it. Just expect “Trainspotting” and not “Braveheart”.

I had this piercing done in a dodgy little piercing “studio” in Aberdeen, Scotland. I had problems with it healing. The bar the guy used was too short. Top bloke though. Ended up having drinks with him a few weeks later.

I have 8 tattoos that are both visually appealing to me and are a permanent reminder of people and events that I never want to forget. I plan on getting more.
