Post new topic

i know this is a bit of an "out there" question...

do you think a very heavily tattooed person in india will have a hard time?

i know in a lot of cultures (i have had problems in the middle east before) they consider it very disrespectful.

but i am an american and very very covered and cannot hide a lot of them.

any insight?

If you dress and behave in a respectful manner, I think most Indians will not mind your tattoos too much. I know they don't think much of guys that make a point of showing them off with sleeveless undershirts—that's offensive, though most people are much too polite to make any comment.
