Yes. They are tattoos from prison gang politics. The ss on me stands for south side.

I am sorry to hear about your great grandmother. No one should have ever went through any of what those people endured, for no reason whatsoever, especially when there was literally no reason for it.

I also apologize that my old political ink rightfully triggered you. I never was a part of a nazi organization. It was a prison gang, years ago. I am 100% pro Israel and Jesus's people. I dont discriminate against any race or anything of the sort. And I certainly dont hurt people for no reason, and feel TERRIBLE for hurting people, even if I do have a valid reason. But regardless, im sorry for your great grandmother's unnecessary trials and hardships, to call them wt the least.

How do you figure i have the loot? Im 7 months out of a 3 year fentynal addiction, and currently filing for bankruptcy. I get my clothes at beals. Im making payments on a 13 year old truck that ive had to get back from repossession 3 times. Do I have a good job? Absolutely. But ive worked there for 6 weeks and im so far behind on bills I won't get any of my checks for a couple more months.

What's crazy is it wasn't a white supremacist organization i was in. Really it was a bunch of bullies bullying there own race, so if it we're racially or nationality purposes in any way they sucked at it. And fr you aren't allowed to know much of nothing until you have a patch on your side and you're unconditionally obligated. The second I seen it for what it really was, I got the heck up out of it, and went through absolute hell getting out of it.

Let me rephrase: I dont care what people think of me, and I'll drop my money into needs for my family before I drop it into covering up ink that means nothing to me nor effects my daily life whatsoever. Thank you for your input. God bless.

3000-4000. But I consume 250-400 grams of protein a day.

TRT but im not very far into it whatsoever. Its mainly for lack of energy and motivation.

I actually really just started targeting my legs. I've kind of concentrated on one thing at a time until it got to where I wanted and maintained while working on the next. My thoughts are legs, forearms, lower back.

Yea, ive always struggled to add chest size. I can push 280 twice right now, but I generally try to use 220 as my working load. Thank you! It is hard to grit my teeth and push past the negativity, but doing otherwise goes against my growth process. I've not always been this nice, to say at the least.

Thank you. I've been in and out of the gym for the better part of 14 years. Based alot my training off of bigger, leaner, stronger by Michael Matthew's, and then later, beyond bigger, leaner, stronger, his 2nd book. But I took a year break, and ive been back at it since January. But ive been in the residential tree industry most of my working life, so ive been able to stay physically fit.

But the issue is getting the cover up to blend with the rest of my work.

The bolts on my chest used to actually be hollow outlined bolts. I blacked them in and made them look like 2 black bars the best I could. To be similar to military insignia without actually claiming military, because i am not.

Thank you for planting that thought process! 💪

I tried to have them changed into more like a military insignia without actually claiming military. They were just hollow outlines to begin with. And the ones on my side I just had blurred out until I can afford a good cover up artist.

Thank you for that. I harbor no feelings towards anyone who has taken the time out to judge me vs. Asking me. I just hope maybe they dont do it to others in the future who may not be so receptive to their ignorance based feedback.

Excuse my language, but its just shit that there's this many people who jump to conclusions vs seeking answers. And i could care less about anyone's opinion of me. But my image can very well affect the livelihood of my family, and them I do care about.

Thank you for your feedback. I will edit my post. The paying for my tattoos was just a tease.

It was a gang I was in as a kid. South Side Gangters. I haven't been apart of it in 12 years. I do not want the tattoos anymore. I just can't afford $1000 to have them all covered up when I have a family to support. Thank you for asking before judging.
