The start of something!

In 2022 I gave my first ever talk at my first ever TestBash! I came away absolutely buzzing, even putting on a Ministry of Testing temporary tattoo. I warmed to this on my arm. I vowed that if I ever got another opportunity then I would get the real thing - my first tattoo.

A few months later and I got the news that my pitch for TestBash UK 2023 was successful. True to my promise to myself, I got that first tattoo.

That talk has been an unexpected jump start in both my career... And love of tattoos! My arms are covered!

Then in 2024 after seeing someone with a temporary tattoo I was inspired to get the new logo!

It is funny how something intended as temporary/short term can take you into a new journey!
