InkSpired Magazine Issue No. 36 | Page 24

Do you ever encounter criticism because of your ink? If so, how do you react? I have had many people tell me that my tattoos have ruined my body. My own parents are some of the biggest people in my life giving me negative feedback about my tattoos. At the end of the day, I can’t change someone’s opinions of tattoos. Whether it’s their culture or upbringing, most people who don’t like tattoos won’t be convinced otherwise. So I allow others to have their opinion, because at the end of the day, it’s my body. I think they are beautiful, and that’s all that matters to me; not the opinion of others. 22 InkSpiredMagazine.com
