Well maybe you are right, however is that the fault of the viewer or wearer?

I think I made a point in a previous post to you, but didnt hear your opinion back.

In the several years that Ive had my tattoo Ive only had one person judge me by it (that im aware of, most folks dont notice it at all)

I was a young house wife and a woman and her 20 something daughter moved in. we became friends (the 2o something).

Her mother stated she didnt like her hanging out with me because "she smokes and has a tattoo"

Funny, but i "grew up" just fine. still married, raising a terrific kid and her daughter who she felt the need to shelter from me because of outward things did not.

Last I talked to her 5 years ago (ive moved a few times since then, relocating to different states). She was on her 3rd marriage and 5th child. she left her faith and was a goth (whatever that is). It was very sad:(

It is true, as cliche as it sounds, that you cant judge a book by its cover.

Its your right not to like them, to have a preference, but should do so without making such quick judegments. if you continue to do so, you may miss out on some great friends:)

The tattoo sends out a message. If the tattooee doesn't like the message being received by others, the tattooee needs to change the message being sent.
