How many of you have a story of discrimination at home, on the streets, or in the workplace because you have tattoos? i'm looking for a few good stories to add to my paper for a college english class. Your stories will only be viewed by me and my professor. and i'll post my final paper here as well. i'm just looking for some first hand stories to back up my arguement. it's one thing to say "people often get dascriminated against for their tattoos". i would love any input thanks!
lol to be the black sheep of the family is always fun lol. im glad of where i work now (spencers gifts) even tho i dont make much i can be myself without being persecuted. :)

Dude who keeps putting tibetan translation advertisements in non related forums. STOP IT YOU DB! At any rate I know this forum is probably dead but..... My story is short. Really good example of discrimination though. My wife son, daughter and I went to the store a while back. (my wife is not as visibly tattooed and peirced as I am) I decided to do the gentlemanly thing to do at the entrance was to hold the door open for the guests coming in right behind me. I actually had an older lady, not really old but older maybe late 50s, look at me. Sneer, and then go find another door to enter through, I might mention on the oposite side of the 6 door entrance. I was soooooo insluted, I mean I understand job discrimination. But actually treating me like I was going to mug her or rape her or some other stuff, because I am tattooed and peirced...... I said your welcom loud enough to make sure she and everyone that witnessed it to hear me, and went about my business. I guess I should expect that living in mormon ville salt lake city...
Yeah the scene-y toile reminds me a bit of my nonna's bedspread or something haha
Will definitely chat with my artist about some shadows and see what she can come up with :)
The pain isn't something I'm relishing, but it'll just be three hours out…
