I am sure it has been said before but this is mostly in reference to the most visible of my tattoos, my sleeve. To me it is beautiful and captures my personality to a tee. It is for me and no one else. I am happy that generally most people like it and compliment me on it. The few that don't and feel the need to voice their opinion about it, need to keep their comments to themselves. No this is not a "prison" tat, and if it was, so what. That makes you an ignorant fool.
Then there are those who feel the need to touch my tattoos. I am not now nor have I ever been ok with strangers touching me without even asking, especially at work. Inappropriate on so many levels.
Look
Admire
Be inspired
I understand tattoos are not for everyone. They do not change my work ethic. I am the ultimate professional at work. Don't judge me as I surely don't judge you for your lack of tattoos.
