Day 7: Renae interviews Paul & Andrew

Safe in His Heart will be released on the 2nd of May, 2016.   In an attempt to get to know Paul and Andrew, I thought that they could take the 30-Day Writing Challenge.  Let’s see their answers.  I will be posting their responses on the blog daily, so scroll back if you missed some.
 
7.  What tattoos do you have and do they have meaning

Paul:  I admit to being selfish.  I regularly give blood.  I also regularly lie on the form so that I can give blood.  In Australia there’s a rule that you can’t give blood if you’ve had male-male anal sex within the prior 12 months – even if you were using a condom.  It’s a crappy rule.  I am regularly tested for all STDs – not only as a sexually active gay man, but as a nurse who is at high risk of being infected by others.  I know I’m clean, so I always lie on that question when I give blood.  There is a second question on the quiz that relates to no donations if you’ve had a tattoo in the last six months.  One question I can lie on, two I’m kinda uncomfortable with.   So I don’t tattoo in order to save lives.

Andrew:  Do you know I’ve never considered it?  I don’t think there has ever been something I needed to display on my skin.

Paul:  You really are a closet case, aren’t you?  You’re hiding so much inside you.
​
Andrew:  True.  I’m trying to change that though.
