00:00Yeah, it's of my dog Millie that I had when I was about four years old and she died like

00:142021?

00:15Yeah.

00:16I've got a little hand here and a dog paw because dead dog, innit?

00:28It's a photo that my sister took of, this was her on her last day.

00:32So a few hours after this, probably not even a few hours, an hour, we took her to go get

00:38put down.

00:39I have never once known a cat to be as lovely and just gentle and kind as Smudge was.

00:47So my first one is one on my leg, which is a reference from my favourite band, King Nun.

00:51It's got the logo and it's got the line, sucking on lemons is more sincere, which I took as

00:56like a little memory of myself because I got it in the beginning of my recovery from anorexia.

01:01So it's a little nice thing for me.

01:03The actual song has nothing to do with what I took it as, but I spoke to a band about

01:07it and they were like, no, it's much nicer that you have your own special meaning.

01:10I just thought, you know what?

01:13I'm kind of creating some kind of like nature-ass thing on my arm, so I might as well add some

01:18flowers.

01:19So I did, because I want to get a whole like kind of patch sleeve done at some point.

01:23I obviously have grown up with a lot of confidence issues and stuff like that.

01:28So a lot of the time when I choose things that I like, like rather than having to go

01:32with a meaningful one, it just helps me to feel more confident.

01:37I have whole ideas for what I want to get.

01:40I want to be covered in tattoos.

01:42I think that's something everyone says, like when you're old and weak, you're going to

01:44regret it.

01:45And I'm like, I'm sure I have bigger things to regret, to be honest, than a bit of ink

01:50on my arm.

01:51So, yeah.
