“My tattoos also remind me that it’s my body and my life choices so if I want to add more no one should have a say in that”

“I’m a mum of a toddler who keeps me very busy! I’m also a chartered accountant, I training in various practice firms before moving to work in industry. One of my hobbies is henna tattoos, so along with some permanent ink I usually also have some temporary tattoos!”

“Tattoos represent art and different stages of my life, I have a few for lost pets while this might seem silly to some those pets were my family for a long time and it’s nice to still feel that they’re close. My tattoos also remind me that it’s my body and my life choices so if I want to add more no one should have a say in that. I have always wanted a lot more tattoos than I have but due to my profession I’ve worried that it would mean I’d not be accepted and would be judged. However, lockdown and having a child has really changed my outlook and plan to get more, and not worry about covering them up.”

“Most of my tattoos are easily hidden so work have never commented however I have received comments from my mum about them and from a past abusive relationship.“
