Have you ever been told something, or seen something that bothered you, but either denied it bothered you, tried to put it out of your mind or even tried to forget it.

Well, first off...I hate needles. But after a few beers and not wanting to look like a baby, I was determined to go … Continue reading I’ve Been Inked
