Forum Discussion: Tattoos Are a Mark for Prostitutes?

Everyone at school knows about it, but a few months ago, when I was showing it to this guy, another guy came and said that it was a mark for prostitues. How could he say that?! And about me! (i have a clean reputation at school). I was so mad!!! I just gave him a push though."

Has this ever happened to you? What would you do if someone insulted you or your body art? Why do you think people feel the need to make such rude comments? Join the discussion and share your experiences.
