Let me (RE)INTRODUCE myself 👋🏼 because I’m a whole new person these days... I’m Lucy, UK born, now living on the Central Coast 🌏 Australia.

I have the best dog in the world & being away from him kills me everyday 💔 I’m saving (it’s expensive AF) to bring him to Oz & I swear that reunion will be the best day of my life.

Reading is my true love 📚 Sorry to say but art has always come second best to my deep obsession for books! I had a real problem in the UK buying stacks of new books a week...living in Australia has curbed that because your books are a) pricey & b) have weird floppy spines & naff paper

I’m a seriously enthusiastic vegan foodie 🥦 I LOVE cooking, playing with new ingredients, learning about nutrition & testing how far I can push plant based cooking!

I like excessive amounts of herbal tea & kale 🤯 - who even am I?

I once shouted “I am not an outside person, I don’t like being outside & I never will” but that’s the opposite of true now: 🍃 I love getting out in the bush or the outback with my rather wonderful husband, camping, trekking & sitting in every big old tree I can find.

I love to scuba dive whenever I can - give me all the 🦈 sharks, caves & wrecks...deep, dark & scary please!

I actually have a love/hate relationship with tattooing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes I think it’s great & I’m fully inspired but other times I get hung up on it not serving enough purpose. I feel kinda in debt to the world to try & make it a better place so I worry it’s superficial when there’s so much hurt and crisis around & I’m just here making pretty pictures on people.

That ^^ being said I know that I have tattooed so many tattoos with so many meanings & purposes & I would LOVE for you to drop into the comments below some of the reasons that you get tattooed & how they have helped you!? ♥️

Not so much that I spend any time on fb ever but I’m taking a complete social media break. I really bloody hate it and everything it stands for. Time to disconnect from the online world and reconnect to the real world. There’s a full rant over on insta if you care to read it! ♥️
EDIT:
As much as I’ve loved sharing all the little pieces of mental health info I have found helpful myself with you guys...it’s starting to do me more harm than good. I appreciate each and every one of you with your support of it over the last year particularly.
But let’s be real...none of you should need to see a meme to remember that YOU ARE FU***NG AWESOME.

HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS
Scientific studies have found that emotions & even actions are contagious. Did you know if you have a close friend or family member go through a divorce, the chances of you going through a divorce within the next 3yrs rises by 50%. If you have a sibling who becomes obese, the chances of you gaining weight in the next 2yrs rises by 30%
Did you know that it has been proven that happiness is contagious too?
Harvard Medical School studied 4739 people over 20yrs by continually measuring their levels of ‘happiness’ with various statements such as “I feel hope for the future” & “I was happy”. They also studied the results from the participant’s social & family ties resulting in a study of almost 50000 people.
Results found that the happiness of an immediate social contact increased an individual's chances of being happy by 15%, the happiness of a second-degree contact (ie: spouse of a friend) increased the chances of being happy by 10%, & the happiness of a third-degree contact (the friend of a friend of a friend) increased the chances of being happy by 6%.
They named it the ‘Three Degrees Of Influence’.
If you go outside & smile at a stranger, you could positively impact on 3 people’s lives. Those 3 people are then more likely to smile at someone they pass, making 9 more happier people. & those 9 again may smile & say hello to 3 more people each making 27 further happier people. That’s already 39 people positively impacted by your one smile.
On World Mental Health Day everyone is talking about how to deal with mental illness. Everyone is offering their support. That’s great. But one of the main underlying causes of many mental health issues is that the world can be a really s**tty place. We have to do more than talk about it. We have to fix it. Being kind is an easy & essential starting point.
So be kind to people. Say hello. Smile. Ask about their day. Dish out compliments. Be interested. Be helpful. Be nonjudgmental.
Maybe if we all stopped rushing about wrapped up in our own s**t, we’d see that there are so many other people out there feeling the same. We can help each other. & it can start with a simple smile 💖 @ Roadhouse Tattoo Company

HEALED PHOTOS - There will always be a part of me that is surprised and relieved when things heal well. I’m excellent at the self criticism..not so hot on the confidence 😬 PS this isn’t a “give me praise because I need reassurance in the way of attention seeking posts” type of post. Just a little nose into my messy brain 🤯👊🏼

04/10/2018

“I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

I am so TIRED of always being on the edge of ok. Of scrambling around trying to pull together the threads of my fraying mental health. Of desperately treading water and feeing those threads slip away from me...sometimes slowly but slipping non the less.
•
I am so TIRED of having to pull myself back together because I have to go to work because I ‘have to pay the bills’. I am tired of panicking about keeping customers happy. I am tired of fretting about keeping people waiting too long on email replies. I am tired of worrying about not doing my best work. I am tired of stressing about the shop’s cleanliness and whether I did the ordering or whether I paid the bills on time or whether people are happy with how I run things.
•
I am so TIRED of having to put on a happy face and go about the day like I’m fine. I am tired of feeing like I’m not doing enough when what I am doing feels like too much.
•
So I am done. I am done being tired. I am done being sad. I am done with feeling like I’m at the very edge of my limits. I am done surviving and existing. I am deciding to LIVE.
•
I am not taking any further bookings for AT LEAST the rest of this year. I am not making any decisions or tying myself into any commitments. I am taking the rest of this year off COMPLETELY from work to focus on ME. No tattooing. No emailing. No replying. Anything work related will go unanswered.

You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

EVERY 40 SECONDS SOMEONE DIES OF SU***DE - and man do I feel that 💔 I don’t know if I’m just more attuned to noticing it or because it really is that much more prevalent these days but I feel like I’m constantly exposed to the despair and hopelessness of this modern life.
•
The world is broken and it hurts me. Like it literally fu***ng hurts. It’s a physical tightness in my chest and a restriction in my throat and the onset of tears before my brain even has a chance to catch up. I hate it. I hate that people hurt and suffer this fu***ng badly. So we’ve GOT to do something about it.
•
I kept seeing this crop up on my Instagram the last week and I figured it was definitely worth sharing. Then I thought it was probably a good idea if I did it myself but I struggled for a while. I’ve always had a hundred reasons in the ‘cons’ of life so trying to think of 10 ‘pros’ was surprisingly hard. For every positive thing, I had to actively shut down the nasty, negativity committee in my head with all their “yeah buts” BUT when I finished, I reread it and had a proper “YES. THESE ARE TRUE” moment.
•
I reckon I could of carried on actually and written another 10, 20, 100..but I’ve left it at 10 for now. I’m gonna fold this up small and put it in my wallet & pull it out every time I’m miserable & remember that I wrote this from my heart. In a good place. And that it is my TRUTH.
•
I suggest you all (‘mentally well’ or not) take 10 minutes over the weekend to make this little list. (Share it with the hashtag because you never know who is taking inspiration from your truths.) Keep it in your wallet. Pull it out when things are tough. If you know somebody who is struggling buy them a nice notepad and a pen and draw in an empty list on the first page. Sometimes talking is hard and writing can be easier.
•
Action can be taken in the smallest of ways. It’s not all sweeping in and saving people from jumping off of their bridges. Kind gestures from the heart are equally as powerful. Remind someone you care. Remind them they matter.
Remind them what they have to live for. Give them the incentive to want to live because EVERYONE deserves that ♥️♥️♥️
