INK anyone??!!!

I have to cover my tattoos at work every day, which can be frustrating. The one on the back of my neck is especially annoying because I really want a haircut but can't get one, or the tattoo would show.

The other negative effect for me is people thinking they can grab me or touch me in public, just to see my tattoos. I don't even have that many and people treat me like public property, I can't imagine how it woudl be if I had all the tattoos I actually WANT to have.

Oh, and once a guy said he might dump me if I got my first tattoo.

um yeah its affected my life... i'm now a walking display of art for rude ass people on the street to gawk at and grab my arm without even asking me or even saying "hello"
people often think i'm some tattooed uneducated bitch until they talk to me. as far as jobs i'm an executive assistant to a mulit million dollar company here in san diego, they were iffy at first about my tattoos but now they see me as a "normal" human being with tattoos and bright red hair. i'm getting my right sleeve done dec. 7th , so we'll see if their minds have changed once i have a tattoo of a zombie fucking me(as a monster). good luck with your tattoo and please post some photos!

i had a guy grab me at work and start trying to take my shirt off to show his GRAND DAUGHTER my tattoos...and when i yelled he looked at me like he was doing nothing wrong!

and then the other day some old guy was like "you know, more and more people are having them removed" of course, i am an asshole sometimes (and i shouldnt have said anything since i work at a restraunt) but i came back with "well, more and more people are just fucking retarded and dont plan out their tattoos" he got a little pissed.

point of the story is, dealing with tattoos can be a HUGE hassle. they are more accepted then ever, but still not as well as one would hope. if you think that it might affect your future, then DONT get it. i have wanted hand tattoos for years now, but i wont go past my upper wrist. but, that is a personal decision. you can make your own...you are a grown woman.

good luck!
