So, when I joined this site about a year ago, I'll be honest, it was for the pictures. I have a weak spot for tattooed woman. Who here doesn't?
I was ignorant. Uneducated. I had no idea what really drives this site. It's community, love, support.
Getting to know the members behind the profiles, through blogs and sets has been a privilege.
I assume many among us here have led less than "typical" lives, and have been misunderstood throughout them. What I've witnessed here gives cause for celebration.
When people are down, challenged by life, people rally to provide support and advice. When success prevails, there's a slew of congratulatory comments.
Behind each SG, hopeful, and member. Behind each set, and tattoo. There is a story. Of struggle or passion. Of talent and pain, joy and determination. A portrait of life.
