While I agree with this, it's the "dressing like the bars" thing with which I can't quite jive.

Tossing in the WHITE towel, I've been schooled. I'm going out to save the whales, and reverse global warming, after I find a cure for the Ebola virus, wearing WHITE by the way.

No problem. I thought long and hard before deciding to get a butterfly on my wrist (which has a deeply personal meaning and I thought about for three years before I finally got it). The tipping point was meeting a girl in the cohort above me in school who also had a tattoo on her wrist and had never encountered any resistance in getting a job or school placement. Since getting mine, I have only encountered people who ignored my tattoo or loved it. It's not a popular decision but I don't regret it at all (especially because it is small enough to be covered by a watch or bracelet).
