Sheldon (customer experience at Virgin Trains) “I used to have more than 20 piercings all over my body. It’s something you’re allowed to do before you’re 18, and I went for it. Face, nipples, collarbone, everywhere. I’m very impulsive and I found it so addictive. Then I started working at Virgin Trains. They don’t allow their staff to have piercings. I tried to remove them for work and put them back on, but some of them would heal overnight. It was a nightmare. So, when I turned 18, I decided to go for tattoos instead. They’re easy to hide. I had this one done – a sort of woman angel – five years ago. And it’s still my only tattoo. Everyone thought – me included – that I’d have many more by now. Addictions are so unpredictable. I guess I should schedule my second one soon? I’m in no rush, and I think that’s a good thing.” Tattoo by “Al” in Southend. . . . . . . . . #portrait #nofilter #portaitphotography #portaitoftheday #london #londoncity #urbanandstreet #tattoosoflondon #tattoostories #storytelling #lifestory #tattoo #tatts #tattooedmen #tattoosofinstagram #inklife #bodyart #ink #tattoolife #tattoolover #skinart #tattooedlife #tattooart #artphotography #londonstyle #londoner #uk_shooters #instalondon #ilovelondon #lovelondon #timeoutlondon #londoner (at London Euston Train Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYAonJHhd5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1daewmulfrgoe
