So what’s the norm then? And at what age? And how did people that know you well react?
I’m 31 and to be honest, maybe it’s just the last year that has changed me emotionally, but certainly I think differently about a lot of things now. I see lots of older guys suddenly getting tattoos and piercings, new wardrobes, a motorbike, a flash mountain bike, or whatever it may be, and in a way I can understand it now I think, cos I can’t stop thinking I’ve become too predictable, too much of my own stereotype, and too bloody boring if I’m honest!
I’m not looking for ideas by the way, just keen to understand what has driven people to suddenly re-invent themselves in a way as an adult, and how they chose to do it, and whether they cared what anyone thought or not. And is it just me feeling the need to rebel as an adult, cos as a child I was pretty bloody tame, the worst I ever did was to get drunk a couple of times underage…
So who’s gone home one day to their wife/husband/BF/GF covered in tattoos, wearing leather, riding a motorbike then? Or something similar… 😉
