Hi, my name's Joshua Tribble. I'm 32 years old, and I've been through a lot in my life. I've made some dumb and bad decisions in some things I've done. I went through homelessness for 3 years in my younger days and went through a lot of bad breakups that made me fall into deep depression. I started to hate myself and my life and felt no self-worth on a daily basis. I ended up in a mental hospital at 20 after trying to commit suicide and found myself even further down a hole. I ended up getting out and was homeless again, not doing well. I made the decision to get 'dead inside' tattooed on my face, and that's truly how I felt. I was treated like I was invisible when I was homeless, down, and out. I hated struggling with depression and my BPD as well. I felt empty for so, so long—12 years of my life, I felt low, depressed, and just truly hated myself.

Then I got blessed to find a wonderful woman who I dated 10 years back. We met again here in Texas, started dating, and now we are married with two beautiful girls. I'm truly happy most days, but I still struggle from time to time. I'm making this because I really would love to get this awful 'dead inside' tattoo off my face. I don't want to walk around feeling embarrassed and down over this, and my goal is to remove it before my daughters become of reading age. I want them to look at me as a strong daddy. I've been really struggling at the moment with health problems, so money is tight for me and my family right now. I'd love y'all's help to get these awful tattoos removed. I'd appreciate it, and God bless.
