description: I have been in the Emergency Services for over 8 years now, so when I went to get some ink done, it had to be special.

In the begining of my time as a career firefighter I lived with three other great guys. It was these guys that I went through probie school
with, went to college with, and eventually, lived in aartment together. It was these guys that taught me the "Brotherhood" aspect of this job.

The words are "Braithre Thar Gach Ni" which is celtic for "Brotherhood Above All" - A motto which our company created and we have taken
nation-wide in our travels.
