Ashley grew up very down to earth in a small suburb near Philadelphia. She has two older brothers with whom she has a good relationship, even though they live further away and therefore don't see each other that often. She also has a good relationship with her parents, even though the black-haired girl has never been easy and they probably have one or two grey hairs to thank her for. Fights at school, thefts, cheeky behavior - often led to suspensions and short-term expulsions, but this gave her a certain reputation - "the toughest girl in school". She got along better with her father, often saw all kinds of fights, especially wrestling, which is probably where she got her tendency towards violence from. Since then, she has not shied away from physical violence when necessary, and has developed her characteristic traits such as her stubbornness, quick temper and sarcasm.Everyone just calls her 'Spinelli', which can also be traced back to her school days. A group of Ashleys, who couldn't have been meaner or more feminine, had a reputation for terrorizing the school in a certain way - and Spinelli wanted to distance herself from that at all costs, especially with her previously partly masculine touch and her cheeky, impulsive manner, which she has retained to this day.Her eldest brother Vito was the reason why she developed a love of tattooing in the first place. She herself had always been a talented artist, she drew a lot at school and had even drawn a huge chalk picture in the schoolyard in no time over several breaks, which almost secured her a place at an art college - but she turned it down because she had only drawn it out of boredom and was supposedly not that good, which wasn’t true. The man, who had now had quite a few tattoos himself, visited the family one day with his first tattoo, a fawn on his left forearm, which made Spinelli, who was only 14 at the time, want to create such masterpieces himself at some point. Since then, this fawn has adorned her forearm, which was to become the first of many countless tattoos.

Her brothers had moved out, so Spinelli had all the freedom she could wish for. Her own, complete area in the upper part of the house, where from that point on she did what she liked - partying, drugs, everything that goes with it - to the displeasure of her parents, so they decided to kick her out immediately after graduating from school, because she had not changed her behavior even then. So her first choice to live from now on was the big capital of New York City. Life was of course not easy from that point on, without a job, the wrong contacts - but she was able to gradually refine her love of painting and thus also of tattooing until she had a small room in her premises just for herself. With her passion, she conjured up one work of art after another on the skin of regular customers and friends over many years - and after several hard years of scrimping and saving, she finally managed to open her own studio in the heart of Manhattan in 2022, where she has since been able to expand her customer base many times over and is ultimately well occupied.Even though the black-haired girl appears to be very tough on the outside, she also has a soft side. She often feels alone and sometimes struggles with depression, which leads to phases in which she doesn't give a damn about anything. This is usually accompanied by heavy alcohol and drug consumption, which has often led her to go through her own rehab - but this never lasts long. At the moment she is back on a good footing and has rekindled her love for her own body art, but she never knows how long this phase will last.

rules

..   RULE ONE
_{I want to meet interesting people. Get to know people, discover backgrounds, experience stories... I don't need 24/7 small talk that only consists of the typical "Hey, how are you?" and stuff like that. Of course, I do have deep small talk, and I really enjoy it. And I also have a private life, which is why I can't always write a lot. But I do want to be able to expect a little something from the person I'm talking to... and write novels (which contain more than just three sentences)!}..   RULE TWO
_{I am 25+, so I expect my counterpart to be at least 21+. I have no interest in interacting with young adults or even teenagers, as my character includes many topics that are not intended for such eyes.}..   RULE THREE
_{While we're at it... my character deals with many trigger topics - violence, blood, alcohol and drugs, sex... so you should be careful with me if you don't want to be confronted with one or more of the topics.}

..   RULE FOUR
_{Of course I also have a private life, as already mentioned. I sometimes tend to go inactive, for example when I'm bored with tumblr (of course there were/are countless other valid reasons why you go inactive for a while), so you sometimes have to be a little patient with me if you want to have regular, long-term contact with me. And you shouldn't worry about me - I've been here since around 2018, I've been on VZ since 2009, so I'll definitely never be completely gone and will always come back, I've put too much love into this character and would never want to give it up.}..   RULE FIVE
_{Maybe not a real "rule" - but I'm urgently looking for some more characters from my universe... starting of course with my best friends from school like T.J., Vince, Gretchen, Gus and Mikey, It would be very interesting to know what has become of them in the meantime. But I would also like to finally have my two older brothers Vito and Joey here. That would perhaps save me a little from the annoying inactivity...}
