Hello! You left a nice message on one of the pictures that I posted.....I am sorry for not having said anything until now. I rarely come to this site these days and found it just now.....I just wanted to say Thank you!!!
Hey Erin, all the girls in my pics work with me. There are 11 of us and we all get along great. We gang up on the guys and beat them down...lol....There are 3 of us on my shift and we spend alot of time together off duty
The fire tat is my 3rd. I'm getting my fourth here soon as well. It's the best stress relief I've found, just the machine sound is hella calming...crazy sounding, but I think you probably understand from the sounds of it.... I hear ya, any chix I talk to I don't talk to for long... it takes a certain breed to hang w/ us and our profession, so I find I mostly relate to guys as well. But they're truer friends then alot of these girls out there. Then again in our line... we realize the world's b.s. petty drama doesn't come close to the stuff we see... emergencies and tragedies take a new face.... Sadly people out side our large family don't understand this.... The dogs are mutlys lol.... Nova (the white one) is a Korean Jindo Gae/ Yellow Lab mix...-pound pup... shes slowly going through her own rescue training to be able to go to work with me. Baby (black one) is literally pure blooded mutt. She is border collie, rott, lab, and pit....you'd never guess half of that. She has been w/ us since day one her litter was to big for her mom so Jarid (the bf) took her and raised her up.
