I'm quite heavily tattooed. I know I'm bound to get a reaction, positive or negative and to be honest, I'm not bothered either way, you either like tattoos or you don't. They're on my body so I'm not fussed if someone doesn't like them.
But the thing that annoys me is when some people notice my tattoos they start grabbing my arms and pulling them towards them. I get people pulling at my clothes, pushing up my sleeves to look further up my arms. I've even had one women move my top down so she can get a better look at my chest tattoos. Now is this just me being sensitive or is that completely out of order?
I've had some of my friends say stuff like 'I'd have told her to piss off' etc but that's not really me, I don't like being rude and I don't like confrontation.
I don't think I should have to cover myself up, as I said before, I don't mind people looking, obviously otherwise I would have got them in more discrete places. I don't even mind people asking questions about them, I get a lot of questions and to be honest I like telling people the stories of my tattoos. But I really think grabbing a complete stranger is a bit out of order. AIBU?
