Alas, I too am one of the vest wearers in the summer. I am proud of my ink, so why not show it off? I too have to keep my back piece covered up all day everyday in work so why not show it off....?
I once read a letter in a tattoo magazine from a Doctor who had full sleeves; although he saves lives for a living in the theatre, he is still discriminated because he has tattoos.
I feel kind of.....bizarre? I feel I have opened up a can of worms that is walking a fine line of getting personal, but I never had any intention of starting a slanging match over tattoos?!! I was just asking for some friendly advice from the peolple in the know, doing the job I dream of doing.
I guess at the end of the day, being realistic, I may have a tougher time compared to somebody who is...'ink free' shall we say?
I feel I will be whizzing to London and back in my Intercity 125 for a few years more LOL!!!!!
Many, many thanks for those who are sticking up for me, and indeed the tattoo community.
