My wifes quite heavily tattooed, and getting more so. I personally love them, and have a full sleeve and various others myself, but yes you do get a lot of staring mongs and disaproving looks, especially as we have our angelic looking 3 year old, all blonde curls and blue eyes..... People must think we've abducted her!
Tattoos are great, I love my wifes tattoos, theyre just things she likes and mean stuff to her, they aren't the be all and end all of who she is though. people seem to forget that!
So in other words...carry on!
