Tattoo Time Warp

I'm sure anyone of you with tattoos has experienced the tell tale "stink eye" of the elder generations  How do you deal with those disapproving glares?

I'll be the first to admit I don't handle it very well when a) strangers touch my tattoos and b) old people give me evil looks and dish out rude comments about my tattoos.  I'm a germophobe, so the thought of a stranger putting their germ infested paws on my body without my permission makes me kinda want to gag right now.  OK I gagged.  Good thing I keep a large stash of GermX on hand.  Also when someone thinks they have the right to comment about what I do with my own body my blood pressure just skyrockets.  Who are they to judge me?  I don't tell them their geriatric polyester pants look terrible, or the hot pink lipstick they slathered on those jowls looks more like a melted popsicle running down and in between the canyons they call lip wrinkles now do I?  Should I?  Maybe next time I get a disgusting comment I will.  Maybe I'll tell them to get some concealer for their liver spots.  Better yet the next time I get a look that literally burns from their glares, so hard and long (that's what she said), I'll just stare right back!  Ha!  OK I already do that.  I know I know, I have tattoos...expect some attention.  I love the nice attention:  "Oh you're tattoos are beautiful" or "Who does your art work?".  I MORE than gladly tell them where my husband and I get tattooed, and who has decorated our bodies with beautiful works of art.  I've even had people tell me "I don't like tattoos, but I have to say yours are just simply beautiful."  That's nice.  I think the negative stuff I have been talking about stems from the fact that when I was a kid my parents taught me not to stare, not to point, and if I have nothing nice to say...I say nothing at all.  What do elders think gives them the right to say whatever they want to a total stranger??  Were they not taught any manners??!  We know that can't be true, because they taught them to our generation!  This topic kind of goes hand in hand with fat girl remarks.  Leave my fat and my tattoos alone!  That is unless you enjoy what you see lol.
