Looks like I found a niche.

I'm glad you guys like this idea.  I wasn't just aiming at tats but anyone stuck in a minority.  I've noticed when my son was at playgroup the parents kind of separated into two little social clusters.  1.  The normal people.  2. Everyone else.  My group had the only mother with tats (me), the only Mauri family, the only aboriginal family, a mother with severe epilepsy, a mother with a disabled child, a mother who was a goth, the only Indian family, and the only single father.  All up we had a group of 11 otherwise isolated parents - which outnumbered the 6 'normal' parents, which was kinda cool.  I've often noticed that it's the ones that are more often shunted to the outskirts of social circles that, when combined, actually make up the majority, are usually the nicer people - so long as they haven't been driven to total bitterness by prejustice - and despite the extreme differences, they all have one thing in common - they are all too often ousted by the "normal" folks.

So thanks for joining up and if you find anyone that does not fit into societies standards in your Minti travels, invite them along.
