i have a friend who has "deaf culture" fingerspelled on his shoulder.
i have a question since we are on the subject here....im a hearie person, who is dating a deaf girl, i work at a school for the deaf, 95% of my friends are deaf or interpreters, so i sign more than i speak it seems like....but why is it not acceptable for me to get a tattoo that represents such an important part of my life? because im not deaf, im not "allowed" to get any kind of a sing language tattoo. Im not german, but i have a german saying tattoo'd on my back, thats perfectly fine.
i know in the end tattoo's are for yourself and shouldn't care what others think about them, but i feel if i went ahead and did this, i would offend people, even people i consider friends.
any thoughts?
