I was discussing it with my mother, who told me it’s going to be difficult to find a guy who respects me because I have tattoos. I have a very simple pattern on my upper arm, a couple on my shoulders and some on my ankles. She went on to explain that men will all assume I’m easy and cheap and not the relationship type.
