I used to be on the fence about them, but the more I saw them, and the more thought I realized people put into them, the more I liked and respected them.

Visible tattoos, yeah, some are cool and some are like “WTF?” But same with lots of stuff.....like comb overs.

My goal is to have my back tat eventually cover my back and wrap around my middle, as a calendar of the years I’ve been teaching etc. Hopefully, when I’m too old to dance anymore, it’ll cover a big chunk of me.

Wow that's pretty cool. I'm still in the early stages of thinking about where to go next with my tat... I figure I've got a lifetime, there's no great hurry in this... I definitely don't want to go overboard (I say this now, but that could always change!), but I'm sure that this one won't be enough for me long-term...

You know what's the only thing I don't like about having a back tattoo? I can't look at it all the time, lol! Sometimes I wish I had gotten it somewhere I could see it more... Hmm... I also wish I didn't work in such a conservative industry and could feel more free to have discrete, appropriate, exposed tattoos. I'm pretty envious of folks in really creative jobs who can just do whatever.
