I'm sorry that people still have such severe hang-ups.
Most artists and art minded people do things that
identify with art be it a tattoo of some off the wall
painting on occasion. Potters are no exception to the
rule of being expressive as artists. It would appear
to me to be part of the persona that shows the
artistic differenece in an artistic minded person
verses those who shun this kind of expression. (Its
called art) If a person wants to judge me by the color
of my eys instead of my art I wouldn't need their
business no more than they would want someone who
happened to have a tattoo. Just keep a stiff upper lip
and let them roll off to the fantasy world of
perfection these type of people have built around
themselves. Most of all find another orthodontist and
explain to the one you had that her/his hair wasn't
parted on the right side of their head fold your
check-book and walk out!

small and flowery.
