The Bathroom Betrayal

The cover up

Has anyone else ever gotten a really dumb, ugly, or stupid tattoo that they regret? Perhaps it’s the result of a spur of a moment decision, a moment of rebellion, or visiting a tattoo artist that just isn’t all that good. I’ve been in all three of those situations. About eleven years ago I was …

Muay Thai Phase

I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve gone through my fair share of phases. I’ve been extremely into the heavy metal scene, I’ve dabbled in teaching my dog to run agility courses, and I’ve even become a qualified Muay Thai competitor. I’m going to be honest, of my phases, that’s the one I’m most embarrassed …
