Surprised about the completely different and probably wrong interpretations...sorry

He speaks about beer for sure !!! "Tattoo'd lady" because of the brand on the glass. Bearded as every respectable beer should have a beard and pearled because when you serve it at the perfect temperature it pearls on the glass. He is Irish u know ? I'll bet a horse on it that he often asked a bearded lady at the pub and that he received a beer. It also makes sense when he speaks that it was his home while he lived from town to town.

My Interpretation
