Part 3 on the chest

So after some confusion and a mix up on the time, I got 3^rd session done on my chest. We still have one little bit left to go but I am Super Happy with it, I already LOVE IT 

Here's some advice if you're thinking of getting a tattoo and a chest one, get it done first I won’t lie it hurts like a bitch. 

The reason 

With my Friedreich's Ataxia I have all the heart problems that comes with it, so I got this tattoo of a heart in a coffin with the words “STILL BEATING” as a metaphor to say as long as my heart is still beating... I’m going to still be here kicking (FA) ass... and we just added in the bone wings because it looks cool.

I am still very sore but hey the pain is worth it because my chest is going to look great.

I have to thank the one and only Emma Garrard for this tattoo

After staring in a busy high street studio in 2006 emma has been lucky enough to meet and work with some of the best artist in the industry and received a nomination for best UK female artist at tattoo jam 2012.

Emma believes there is so much to offer with the art of tattooing and works passionately with her clients to give the best she can.

Every person is unique and requires individual approach.

Emma is taking on bookings at the moment so if you want a tattoo check her out and do it right now :-)

Nursing Simulation part 3

First off let me just say sorry because I haven’t done a blog post in a while, I have been pretty busy sorting things out for Download Festival and other stuff.

 But I am back now...

Today I was back doing my thing

Nursing Simulation part 3

This was the last one and It went so smooth again, I had 2 lovely female nurses which I find it a lot easier to work with 2 students rather than 3 (The other times I was working with 3 students)

This time round I only had to do 1 simulation rather than 2 like the time before so that was Ace, so we kicked off with the simulation and as soon as words  Friedreich's Ataxia came out of my mouth I could see it on them, they were like What The Bloody Hell. Like most people never heard of it before today, so I gave them some of a card each with the link to my blog and gave them the quick rundown of what FA is and job done 2 more people in this world now know about FA.

Running through the simulation of handover was all the fun as always, we had a giggle and it just felt so natural like we were in a real hospital.

I even got told by the 2 lovely female nurses that they find me intriguing... so #Winning

Speaking with one of the academic staff members afterwards, she was like your seem to work better with girls... I was damn straight it’s all in the face haha...

It was a very productive and positive day, so a big thank you goes out to the 2 wonderful students I had and keep up the good work one day you will both make fantastic nurses.

And in other great news I’m getting tattooed in the morning Yes! Super Excited for that
