Another thing is if im in a cafe i find people avoiding me or talking and pointing as if im a criminal...I've never stolen anything in my life, don't do drugs etc i just happen to love body art... my uncle has nearly his full body tattooed and he loves fishing, he went to a lake to fish and the owner told him 'i think you'd better leave' my uncle was confused and asked why and the owner said 'we don't like you sorts round here'!?!?!?"
