This week I have a tattoo appointment so I wanted to talk about all the details. My appointment is this Saturday at three pm, at the Electric Fox. It's located in downtown Modesto, which is pretty chill considering I live in Modesto. The girl doing my tattoos is named Amber, she has done all of my step dads tattoos, so I am excited to get work done by her.

I was sneaking out at a young age, just being reckless. I began taking drugs my sophomore year, I knew what I was doing was wrong. I was definitely in dark place and the drugs brought temporary happiness. Quickly I began using drugs every day, I became addicted. Being addicted...
