I have a chest piece and people definitely treat you in a really peculiar way when you've got big, visible ink (which I do when I wear anything other than a t-shirt).<br /><br />Although it's also pretty adorable watching people of all genders trying to suss out what my tattoo is of without looking like they're staring at my breasts. I usually take pity on the ones who aren't gross about it and just show them and explain it.<br /><br />(And as to teenagers with tattoos: The only thing I find offensive is when someone is obviously under 18 and has a tattoo, ANY tattoo, because who in their right mind would tattoo a minor, given that it is both illegal and incredibly, horrifyingly sketchy. It could be beautiful, and I'd still be pissed.)K.

Even if it is sexual in nature, that doesn't excuse the poor behavior you've been forced to endure. It's a shame that you feel you have to cover it up. :(Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-38078938321465995272009-09-02T18:51:53.403-05:002009-09-02T18:51:53.403-05:00Another great post.

I really do think that there are men out there who see a tattoo and immediately make a judgement call on the woman who has it. It's almost like a red flag to a bull for some of them.<br /><br />I do cover my tattoo in certain places to try to avoid the verbal (and often physical) attacks from (usually drunk) males.<br /><br />It sucks but I feel like I have to do it. My back tattoo is from the movie The Wall (I'm a big Pink Floyd fan) and they're the cartoon 'fornicating flowers' so the tattoo itself is quite sexual depending on how you look at it.<br /><br />I think that makes it worse.<br /><br />Anyway I'm rambling. Great blog!<br /><br />Oh and I think your comment is really offensive YellowPansy. Women should be able to wear whatever they like - you don't know their motivations for wearing what they're wearing. And you don't know the motivation behind their tattoos either.Boganettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253374355820020132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-37241879575959466332009-08-26T23:13:22.540-05:002009-08-26T23:13:22.540-05:00@Saranga: I would love submissions about any body ...<b>@Saranga:</b> I would love submissions about any body modifications, if you're willing to send them! I think that'd be great. :) I don't think I'll make it an open offer, however, just to keep the numbers of (possible - I doubt I'd get many) submissions low. But since you've been reading the series and have expressed interest, that'd be great!<br /><br />Go ahead and e-mail me about this so we can work something out. All I need is to get someone to take some updated pictures of my tattoos (and maybe some of my piercings,too) and I'll be ready to post my stuff. I wouldn't expect it up until late this week or early next week, though.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-51215779836370814842009-08-26T06:42:18.834-05:002009-08-26T06:42:18.834-05:00and amelia, i'd love to see pictures and stori...and amelia, i'd love to see pictures and stories behind your tattoos!<br />would you accept submissions from other ppl? i.e., me, but it would be about my piercings.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-32664363949577132862009-08-26T06:41:03.627-05:002009-08-26T06:41:03.627-05:00INTPanentheist: the colours on your arm tatt are ...INTPanentheist: the colours on your arm tatt are lovely!<br />Would you want a back tatt over the scar? my understanding was that scars don't take tattoo ink well at all. which scuppers one of my 2 tatt plans.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-54320473502756105012009-08-24T15:30:51.878-05:002009-08-24T15:30:51.878-05:00First of all, I'm very happy to see that peopl...First of all, I'm very happy to see that people are commenting on this post, so thank you all for contributing to the discussion here. :)<br /><br /><b>@lindsay</b>: I have one almost-always visible tattoo (on my wrist), and before I got it, I was looking for methods for covering up tattoos, and I found a demonstration on YouTube for using make up to cover ink. I hate the idea that people with tattoos should be limited in their work possibilities because of them.<br /><br /><b>@ms liberty:</b> Thanks for commenting! And You idea sounds great. Hope it works out for you. :)<br /><br /><b>@yellowpansy15:</b> Althouh all of my tattoos were thought out and have a lot of meaning for myself, I would never say that a tattoo just for the sake of having a tattoo is a bad thing. The likelihood that it would be regretted later would be increased, but that doesn't make it "offensive" or stupid or wrong. Just different from my tattoos.<br /><br />Also, your personal offense to teens having a lower back tattoo and wearing "slutty clothing for attention" worries me in that it might also lead to victim-blaming if such young women were to be harassed when they went out in public. Because it is never a woman's fault, no matter how she dresses, or what tattoos she may have, for being harassed by someone who should have been able to keep their mouth shut. I can just see how such thoughts would lead to that sort of victim-blaming, and it's troublesome.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-87362424261148336522009-08-24T13:04:24.536-05:002009-08-24T13:04:24.536-05:00The dood-fer-brainz weren't harassing because ...The dood-fer-brainz weren't harassing because you had a tattoo. If you had no tattoos, they would have changed only a word or two of their riff on "Hey, fellas, look at me, I'm Teh Dood!"<br /><br />I'm betting they didn't even know it was a feminist tattoo. And if they could recognize a feminist icon at all, they'd just feel called upon to riff louder.<br /><br />But I'd also bet you're not trying to talk to people living inside their own chamberpots. Not on any level, not even that of tattoos.<br /><br />The only thing I ever found that speaks to them is carrying a visible weapon. It's extra weight and inconvenient, but worth trying sometimes just for the hilarious effect on subhumans.quixotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650030894065858444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-4772748187778953572009-08-24T10:54:25.621-05:002009-08-24T10:54:25.621-05:00I think it's offensive when female teens get t...I think it's offensive when female teens get tattoos there, that have absolutely no meaning, and then wear extremely slutty clothing for attention.steffingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134301870338934675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-80557695373049904272009-08-23T19:41:56.442-05:002009-08-23T19:41:56.442-05:00Hi, I've lurked for a bit, really love the Fem...Hi, I've lurked for a bit, really love the Female Impersonator blog. So. <br /><br />I'm just commenting because a feminist tattoo is a super neat idea. I appreciate all sorts of body mods aesthetically, but I've only ever considered piercings for myself, because I always thought there was no image I'd be willing to watch sag with age along with my flesh... UNTIL NOW. <br /><br />A Venus symbol tramp-stamp for me?

I'm considering going back to school to get my teaching license, but I don't know how many school districts have policies on visible tattoos (two of the five I have now are easily visible - two wrists, one foot, one ankle, one shoulder). Maybe I have to find a profession that doesn't really care about that level of ink.lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285797515594923013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-3768753596039588762009-08-23T12:21:21.903-05:002009-08-23T12:21:21.903-05:00I was definitely considering posting pictures of m...I was definitely considering posting pictures of my tattoos, but I was hesitant at first that it would open myself up to hostile comments from trolls. But I believe that the interest expressed here is enough to get me to do it. Maybe some photos of my tattoos and the stories behind them could be part three in this series? :) Maybe in a few days I can get them uploaded to Blogger.<br /><br />And INTPanentheist, I love your forearm tattoo, and the idea for the one on your lower back seems cool. :)Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-70097570156023970662009-08-23T11:52:28.138-05:002009-08-23T11:52:28.138-05:00I really like this series, just so you know, as an...I really like this series, just so you know, as an inked woman who wants lots more, and who wants more to be visible (I have two - one on my upper thigh, which is rarely seen, and one on my forearm). I've considered a lower-back tat because of the scar I have there from surgery - not as a shame thing so much as a cool thing.<br /><br />Any chance you might post picture of the tattoos you have? I think it would be cool, but I understand if you would be uncomfortable; I just think this is a neat chance to see the kinds of tattoos that feminists get.
