- " ... fat shaming, the cosmetics and plastic surgery industry and hyper-sexualized imagery in media,” Koch said. “What we may be seeing is women translating that awareness into empowerment."
An ex of mine had about 50% of her body tattooed with Japanese imagery. I am not that into body art but it was beautiful. Also had a few piercings. Anything that could be covered with a business suit was fair game as she is a Sr. V.P. of an insurance company so some of her colleagues may not be comfortable with that. I did not understand it at first but she explained to me the process of reclaiming her body and it made perfect sense. Much in line with the study mentioned. For some reason everyone I know that has lots of tattoos is a really kind person.
That's one of the coolest ways to do it. Tattoo up and have all your business colleagues have no idea about your tattoos because it's covered up. It becomes your secret that nobody else knows about that you share with significant others and friends. Then if someone crosses that border after 5 years of knowing you, you have a t-shirt on at a bar or something and they go whoa when did you get that? 10 years before I knew you. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. head explodes Also, it makes it easier for you since you can just be staring at her boobs or butt all day and she'll ask "are you STARING at my butt?". "No I'm just marveling at your tattoos of course! wink wink nudge nudge".
