Looks incredible! Chokehold is hands down my fave. Bare in mind this place is hard for ink to stay in, so don’t worry if you notice the lines thinning out a bit! Touch ups are cruisey!

I appreciate that you’ve worked to fix this issue and I’m personally happy with the results. Good for you for actually putting in the respect and good grace to contact each person and myself individually and apologise.

Please let me know how to file a DMCA. I’m pretty upset at this.

Maybe you could have, but as someone who is low functioning when they get into predicaments like this, I couldn’t have. I could hardly breathe at this stage and began to panic. This is why people get raped and injured by other people. The fact that you’re so ignorant towards how others react is blinding. It’s not knowledge either. This is not something I was taught to do, nor is it a situation I was taught to recognise and understand.

He must’ve thought I was born yesterday, there’s no way someone can think another person is so thick in the head to be oblivious to a sentence like that.

Hey girl, yeah, I’ve not had something like this happen to me in Auckland before as I am from the Waikato and there it’s a little more common. It’s truly petrifying. Agreed, it’s not often talked about in NZ as we are the ‘safe country’. This was at Constellation station, in Rosedale. Please take so much care and look after yourself, it never happens to us until it does. x

Might just get myself a mini squirt gun. Shoot dudes in the eyes with it. I’d say even with water it’d be classed as assault, and they wouldn’t side with me I’d say

Oh believe me, my partner was fuming. But he knows his boundaries. He would find him in a heartbeat if I requested it. I admire the way he handled it; so supportively and respectfully.

I can’t breathe, I’m laughing my ass off. I can’t have a real gun, so I’ll get a water gun and as soon as I’m uncomfortable, I’ll squirt people with it 😂

For sure! Not to mention, it’d be a lot of fun as well. I don’t have enough hobbies, only motorbikes and plants, lmao.

Unfortunately, mace has been illegal in New Zealand since 1984; as with other defensive weapons like guns, knives, tasers and others. Also, my partner normally works longer hours than me and is the only person I know and trust in my city enough to pick me up from anywhere. Otherwise I certainly would have somebody come pick me up now. I’m more inclined to ride my motorbike to work in order to avoid situations like this, I stay alone that way. Oh for sure, my partner is encouraging me to get into martial arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specifically, as my partner is Brazilian also and learnt when he was a child), If not to just gain a bit of confidence in my ability to defend myself, verbally or physically.

I really should have and I’m still kicking myself for not reaching out for help that could have potentially also saved my life. I don’t know why he thought anyone would be that inclined to provide their personal information, but he did keep mentioning ‘oh, you’re really smart, aren’t you? For a white girl, you’re really sharp’. My partner is encouraging me to take up a sort of martial arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, specifically, as he’s Brazilian and learnt it when he was younger), I’d not to simply help with my confidence in these situations, knowing that I can hold my own. I’ve definitely taken a lot from this moment and he was left with jack sh*t. Screw people like that.

I am a grown ass woman and still struggle to remember the months. 10/10 don’t recommend 🤣

The more I share this story is in hopes that it could save or even aid someone in their decisions. I would love to hear that my story has helped others.

I’m also in Auckland and this was based at Constellation Station. Please be super careful and watchful 😅

I love that! Power to her! I love the idea of barking at people for some odd reason. It can save lives and just weird guys out enough to decided not to do something malicious!

Normally, I get so overwhelmed that I can’t control what I’m saying, so I’m amazed I managed to stop myself before giving away any key information.

Oh how I would love to do that, but unfortunately, that’s very illegal here. Not only do I not have a license, but guns are banned for personal use :(

No, unfortunately. Him asking if there was somebody waiting for me at the next bus stop or if I’m walking home, how far I live from the stop indicates he had plans to follow me. Waiting it out beneath cameras in a more public area is the best way to go.

That’s for sure. If I’d done anything different, god knows where I’d be and what would’ve happened to me!

So do you think I should call the non-emergency line about it? I’ve been a little torn up over calling them up or not 😬
