in his arms welcome Lindsay Carmichael, thank you very much for having

a friend is talking on a microphone and headphones in your house. It's awesome. I've

been looking forward to it. Thank you. So Lindsay Carmichael, before we get into your your

tattooing, let's go back a bit and get into history growing up, going to high

school, going to regular school, your parents, and just how you became Lindsay Carmichael starting in school like did you like school did you get good grades did you graduate I graduated I generally I wasn't crazy about school.

I stuck with it and did as best as I could because I had a couple of older brothers and sisters who did not do well in school and it disappointed my mom in a way that

You know she cared about then the way that she cared about all the rest of us but that was something that to her was very important

important and she didn't ever push it on me and say anything like you got to do good because your brothers and sisters did not not all of them but a couple yeah

but I knew that it was something that I needed to concentrate on as much as I could

because I wanted to do something that was you know that

That would make her happy and not give her another you give her a feeling of being proud. Yeah and not give her another you give her a feeling of being proud yeah and not give

her another you know bum out totally so are you the youngest and the youngest of five

damn that's great I'm the youngest of three.

Oh, I gotta tell you by the way, since you've mentioned that.

Yeah.

That I've listened to you speak before about your relationship with your brothers and I've seen it in person here at your house on Christmas and things like that and I've also listened to it on here and it's so nice it's so it's so very nice to hear the way that you guys communicate with each other and I

realize that that must be what it's like. When I listen to it, it's what I realize what it must be like to be close with family members and to have an unconditional feeling of support and closeness with family members.

I get that from hearing the way you guys interact.
