00:00So I've been tattooing now for 16 years. 2010 started my apprenticeship and yeah 16 years of tattooing and just
00:08yeah it's just been the best 16 years of my life tattooing.
00:13Yeah straight out of the womb into a knight's jersey I think. Born and bred yeah 37 years here in
00:18Newcastle.
00:19I was lucky enough for my parents to take both me and my brother down to the game which was
00:24pretty special.
00:26That was a pretty great experience and I was also lucky enough to be old enough to remember the 97
00:32Grand Final as well.
00:33So you know just waiting 25 years for this you know it's been a long long 25 years but it's
00:41exciting times for sure.
00:43So the 97 Grand Final we had a big Grand Final party at our place. Seemed like half of Newcastle
00:49was there.
00:50I don't think there was a single person in our house that thought we were going to lose that game.
00:55And then I just remember the moment that Darren Albert went over and it was just like nothing girls.
01:00And then it was just the biggest party and I don't think I saw my parents for about a week
01:06after that.
01:06I don't know where they went to but we were babysat by my grandma for about a week straight.
01:11And then just the aftermath of it like just seeing just all the footage in the news and newspapers and
01:17going to the parade and all that.
01:20It was just yeah the best thing in the world.
01:23And I just remember when there was Newcastle the matter in the city here one day one day one day
01:26one day one day one day one day someone had to blame again.
