Posting this for two reasons. 1 - it's true. 2 - I have a story to tell. Last night, as I was bartending, A woman at the bar asked me about my finger tattoo because she was thinking about getting one. She told me she had 8 tattoos, her husband hated all of them, and she still wanted more. As she's telling me, her husband walks up. He rudely interjects and asks what we are talking about. She says, nothing. I mind my business. He asks over and over again. She finally says, we were talking about tattoos. He looked at me and said, no wife should have tattoos. I was immediately taken aback, being that his wife had just told me she had 8 tattoos. I just smiled and said nothing, mind you, both of my arms are covered in tattoos and were both blatantly visible. He asked me "what does your husband think about your tattoos?" I smiled, and said I was single. He laughed, and said yeah, that's exactly what I thought......!!! Now, if it was not for God giving me patience and understanding that this man is clearly ignorant and insecure with himself... I would have given him a piece of my mind. Instead, I smiled, and said that most men I date have tattoos, and luckily for me, they care more about what's on the inside. And walked away. I feel sorry for him, that he felt the need to try and degrade me in order to feel better about himself, or his tattooed wife, who was definitely way too good for him. I say all this to say, kindness is a much stronger weapon against hate, ignorance, stupidity, rudeness, etc. i'm sure he expected me to respond feisty and rude, maybe angry. Because that's how "tattooed people" are, right? Sucks for you, I don't fit the stereotype, I'm sweet. ☺️ #kindnesswins #ilovetattoos #oookillem #rudepeoplesuck #youneedJesus #prayforem
