Tattoo Assumptions - Can You Lovely Bloggers Help?

For my Creative Writing degree I'm currently planning a life writing project that looks at how tattoos are accepted within our society, especially if you happen to be a tattooed woman. I'm going to interview my female tattoo artist (whilst being tattooed myself!) and a heavily tattooed young woman about how they are treated when looking for jobs, walking about on the street and just by people in general.
I also plan to interview an employer on their views about tattoos and I'm hoping to go to a really high end place to do this, perhaps a posh jewellers or something!
Basically I am just after YOUR opinions on tattoos and how they have affected you/ what you think of them - anything you can say about tattoos is good. If I'm going to use your comment within my piece I shall inform you, although it's still very much in the planning and research stages at the moment.
So let me know what you think, even if you don't have any tattoos your opinion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
