come on TR you’re not having any fun with this.

seriously, say you met someone like me. i’m quite tattooed, but most of the time, you can’t see any of them.
so say you meet me, end up liking me, then couple weeks down the road i’m wearing a shirt that shows one of them, or a pair of shorts and you can see my leg tatts. would your opinion immediately change? or is your pre-conception only a “he’s got tattoos so i’ll avoid him” reaction?

Wanna bet? If I can tell the truth, stir the pot, and provoke some serious second thoughts about mutilating the body with gaudy "art", then why not?

Seriously, speaking in generalities, how I might react is a matter of degree: 1) Suppose a sailor goes on shore leave, gets drunk with his buddies, stumbles into a parlor and gets a small anchor tattooed on his forearm -- I'm not too bothered by that. 2) Suppose you have tats all over your body, including ones that can't be hidden. Then I'd say you look like a freak and have mental issues. Maybe you don't, but I would always wonder.
