A quick definition of post bail:

Post Bail: When someone is accused of a crime and has to go to court, they may have to give money or property as a promise to come back to court. This is called posting bail. It's like a security deposit. If the accused person comes back to court as promised, they can get their money or property back.

A more thorough explanation:

POST BAIL

When someone is arrested and taken to jail, they may be allowed to leave if they post bail. This means they give money or property to the court as a promise that they will come back for their trial. If they don't come back, they lose the money or property they gave.

John was arrested for stealing a car. The court set his bail at $5,000. His family posted bail for him, so he was able to leave jail until his trial.

Mary was arrested for shoplifting. The court set her bail at $1,000. She couldn't afford to post bail, so she had to stay in jail until her trial.

These examples show how posting bail works. If someone can't afford to post bail, they have to stay in jail until their trial. If they can post bail, they can leave jail but they have to come back for their trial or they will lose the money or property they gave.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter
