TATTOO

[randibeth]

Big Question:

I have a tattoo on my wrist. It looks like a bracelet. It would be very hard to cover up and because of where it is the cover wouldnt say unless I wore long-sleeve shirts everyday and that would be hot.

What would the Europeans think of a young lady having a visible tattoo? Will they think of me different? Would they think of me as an "ink slut" if I have more than one visible tattoo?

If you have any experience with the views of young ladies having tattoos please give me what you know.

if it looks like a bracelet, just wear a bracelet over it to make it less visible.

based on the fact that you got yourself tattooed, it seems that you don't really care what people think. if you don't care here, why care in Europe? i suspect these folks aren't going to care much, anyway.

David, Thanks for the tip about the bracelet over it. I never thought of that.

About me being worried. I dont care what is thought of me here but I was wondering if their culture about this is different than in the states. Just wondering if people would steer clear of me and not want to talk to me because of it.

another idea would be to wear a wrist watch over it.

RE: TATTOO - who cares?

I have a tattoo on my wrist...no one said anything about it or even noticed...

It's not really different than here in that aspect. I know where I live, there aren't many people in the 20 - 30 age bracket that don't have one. Hell, I even have one.. (Right now, Dustoffmom is going.. You What???" LMAO
