It started in the Blog, thought I'd bring it here. I get a lot of wierd looks, and shocked expressions from those that havn't seen me with a sleeveless shirt before, when my tats become visible. Not so much because I've got tats, but that I'm female and my tats aren't typically feminine little colourful butterflies. I've got a black tribal design from my shoulder to my elbow and a large black rose on my chest. I've won a couple of trophies for them at tat shows. I want both of them expanded and want a lot more tats, but money is my biggest problem.
I find it really funny when someone meets me for the first time and my tats aren't visible and I'm dressed somewhat normally, they treat me like everyone else. As soon as they see the tats they don't know how to react or what to say.
I've had people cross the road to avoid me. I've been called a bikie b#tch, a lesbian sl#t, and a few other things I can't even use a # for. I have always been on the outside since I was a little kid for one reason or another, so I'm used to it, and nowdays I just laugh at the ignorance of people and let it roll like water off a ducks back - and I feel sorry for them and their little sheltered narrow minds. |
