I guess to in mentioning tattoos and violent behavior in the same post, I just felt like it would be interpreted that "the two go together". Does <i>that</i> make any sense? I guess I am just pretty sensitive to this stereotype. As a heavily tattooed individual who is also a pacifist, it gets rather annoying to <b>know</b> people are scared of me and assume I'll kick their ass just because of the way I look instead of being judged on the way I behave. Really though, love the site Ariel, you're such a doll and whenever I see a hula hooper I always think of you now! :D I didn't mean to imply that you actually think people with tattoos are violent.

I got a whiff of a violent undertone, but I didn't think it was intentional. Perhaps it is just that the history of urban gangs is so intertwined with the prevelence of urban violence (intertwined not one on one corespondence). Trying to get a "girl gang" feel you tapped into this comingling of the gang culture and the culture of violenc. Cate You did say "cut you" and "mess with you".

Wow, that certainly wasn't what I meant to imply at all. As a total pacifist with three tattoos, it didn't even cross my mind. It was more the rockabilly/girl gang feel of the wedding party that I was tapping into. People with tats are violent? Wow, that certainly wasn't what I meant to imply at all.
