Don't Judge A Book By The Cover.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Something everyone should live by. My parent's taught me that at a young age. But, if you are covered in tattoos from head to toe, you might be a serial killer or trashy. I keep getting more tattoos. I am a damn good mom. It doesn't change who you are or how you raise kids, act in public. They are just forms of art that I would rather just express on my body. I recently met a person. Well, about two weeks after I started my new job. He is covered in tattoos, and everyone I have met that has been covered in ink has seriously been some of the coolest and laid back people I have ever met. The whole thing in church growing up how it is wrong to have them, or they were probably in jail is a lie. Yes, some people still think that way. My generation, 95% at least have one on them somewhere. It is 2013. Learn to live with it. So, back to the badass I met. He put my pinup girl on me, spreads the word of Christ to clients and has a prayer board in his office. First and foremost that right there is pretty rad. I mean that is something that is admirable. We have became pretty close and to show that he has God first in his life is amazing. I wonder what would have happened if I decided to stay in Hawaii and keep going under Tim Goodrich's apprenticeship at Aloha Tattoo. Where and what Gunner and I would be doing in life. Would I have listened to Matthew? That man there is covered as well and has to be one influential men in Hawaii to many. Whether it be artists or the people who he gets to change daily with his tattooing he does. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to go to him in Oahu. People judge to fast with tattoos. What does it mean? None of your damn business, actually.

People are way too fast to judge people. I loved the kid that came in with his parents last night sporting a Batman cape. Hell yeah! I love parents that let kids express themselves. Capes, vivid imagination. Shit, let them act like a dinosaur for all I care. They love it. I discipline my kid. So many people look down on that now. Timeout or spanking makes you a horrible mom. I am not judging you for not disciplining your child. I vaccinate. I thoroughly did research and I still decided to vaccinate. I still get judged for it. Guess what?! Keep to yourself! I LOVED when I was pregnant and elderly folks would look at me like I was 17 and pregnant. I got asked once if I was with the man. I snapped and said, he is deployed thanks. For christ sake, most folks were 16-18, married, and pregnant in the 40s-50s and they judge us. Thanks MTV for that. I have learned not to care what others think. I am doing the best for my child. I bust my ass to make him happy! Almost done with his awesome bedroom! :) 

Whether you have tattoos, vaccinate, discipline, employed or not, strip, wait tables. Whatever, keep doing what you are doing. Don't listen to anyone else. Not even those voices in your head. ;)
