Ink'd grrrls and tattooed femmes

No, I've never run into it on the site either. I don't think when people say this they necessarily understand what it sounds like to someone with ink. I think lilapache hit it on the head when she said "low class" - the statements are often more rooted in classist thinking than something outright sexist.

Diva... these are just a few i've added since i last saw you... the purple roses are actually a cover up... reworking this arm now to sleeve it...

and yes i do agree its all a matter of preference.. i know several butch friends of mine don't really care for the ink i have.. and i accept that... it doesn't make me think less of them or them of me and that's the type of people i prefer to keep around me...
and i've had some that refused to even date me because of it.. *shrugs* their loss... i love my expression... in whatever form i chose to show it... *smiles*
