I have been around the block in my youth and learned as much about what I don't want as I did what I do want.
Know that I am not 1/2 looking for my other half to be whole. I am fine just as I am and with a little luck you feel you are as well.
I have a few large tattoos, They mean a lot to me and I literally put blood sweat and tears into them to make them my own and have them mean something special to me.
