![]() ![]() If the character in the book had gone through all of her struggles and not been a tattooed woman, it might have been harder to find a title for the book, but it also might have done us tattooed mums a bit if a favour. ![]() It reminded me of The illustrated mum by Jacqueline Wilson, not exactly the best advert for being a tattooed mum. I have been trying to think of positive examples of tattooed people in the media, especially women and I am coming up somewhat short. More often than not it is not judging you in a good way. This is fine, I don’t need to look like other people, I have actively chosen not to for most of my life, but I am conscious that when you are not the norm, people do notice you, and judge you. We have recently moved house to an area where I notice there seems to be a distinct lack of people who have chosen a more “alternative” lifestyle for themselves. I am aware as someone who has chosen to adorn their body with tattoos and piercings that not everyone likes/understands/approves of them. ![]()
