<p>I have several tattoos and each means a great deal to me, as each one is for someone close to me who has passed away. While in some situations I understand the need to cover up (weddings, funerals, interviews, etc) if someone told me I couldn’t have them out on a regular basis (at school or a job for example) it would result in my immediate departure. Those tattoos are a part of me and the people I love. I find it insulting for someone to take such offense to ink.</p>
<p>Most of mine aren’t visible anyway (the two that are Buddhist mantra on the underside of my forearm on my right arm and a macedonian poem in the same spot on my left arm [granted, it is in a Ouroboros but that symbol is severely misinterpreted]).</p>
