Also I'm not a working pro i do this as a hobby, if i were to ever venture further i would like to believe i could look the way i want not what someone else expects
I wish this was the case. I don't have any tattoo's and I really do admire the well done ones. And fully agree that it shouldn't matter if you have one or not. But it does. I also agree that the tattoo's do not take away from the magic, unless your magic is really bad and if that is the case anything will take away from your magic.
I do however have a birthmark on the left side of my face. Around my eye and the side of my nose so it is quite noticable, (my dentist tells me it also covers half my upper palate in my mouth. People do tell me that after a few minutes of talking with me they don't see it anymore. My friends only notice it when I have a fever as then it really shows up. There is a magician in Jean Bouchar who has a few things on the market and quite well known in Canada. Anyway he came into my fathers magic shop and I was demonstrating, and I must not have been feeling well. He took one look at me and called me a lucky b*****. I started to laugh and asked him why. He told me that this was the first time he noticed my birthmark, (we have known each other for years). he said at least mine is on my face. He showed me his hands and he had the same birthmark running along the entire side of his hands. He told me it sucked being a card guy because some folks see the birthmark and don't want to take a card.
It would be nice if we could put all these things aside. But we don't.
