You're Marked.
It's not always a bad thing, it's just that society trys to dictate whether it's good or bad.
Tattoo's in the work place are frowned upon if they're visible outside of your work attire, because they don't look "professional", or depending on what type of ink you got, it has a negative connotation to what the business is all about.
Even people that have scars on their body have been marked. Could be from self harm, a gnarly surgery, or an accident. When they're visible, people try to pick apart why you got them just by looking at you, and after they've decided how you've gotten your battle scars; that is how they see you.
Everything that is done to the body tells the story of what you are, who you are, and what you've been through.
I could almost compare it to being naked, because everything is exposed.
I just will never be able to grasp why such markings in life have to be diagnosed by one glance without question, or any further analysis from the marked.
Everyone's tattoo's are meant to tell stories; they're meant to reveal who you are. I don't think it's possible to live unmarked because there is " no unmarked [man] or woman" (Tannen 556), and it is not a bad thing
