Forum Discussion - Rude Tattooed People

Sunday March 14, 2004
Posted by Vidanicolette: "I guess that when I wear long sleeves, I don't 'look the part' (whatever THAT means) of a tattooed person and I've found that some tattooed types get really snobby about having tattoos. Going into shops to check out work it happens sometimes, and I just don't understand how people that say things like 'I don't want to be judged by the ink I wear' would be the same people that will throw attitude your way because they think your just in there to be a tourist or get some flash off the wall without thinking about it. I have 1/2 sleeves, full backpiece and thighs done, but when I'm wearing a nice coat, I look like a sort of normal 29 year old woman coming from work. I'm not saying that EVERYONE is like this because for the most part, they really aren't. I'm just trying to understand when it became ok to judge others when you don't want people judging you."
