disagree totally
if you want to talk being a poseur - how is getting the tattoo and not being a ninja NOT being a poseur? I mean, any of us getting a clan tattoo who is not a fictional martial arts action figure is - in strict semantic terms - a poseur thing.
I mean, we're drawing some pretty arbitrary lines here
The way I see it is this:
Getting the tattoo is a pretty stark declaration of your adoration for the line and the lore. I would counter that the place where you get it should be where you feel most comfortable with having it - for whatever reasons. Discretion. Work. And that decision has nothing to do with a perceived sense of propriety or obligation.
Want it on your forearm? Go for it.
I couldn't get it on mine because of work - and I don't really want it there to begin with. I'm going with upper back, between shoulder blades. Its a nice symmetrical spot for a nice symmetrical design imo. But I've got to feel good taking off my shirt to show it off haha
I will be getting it once I lose 10 more pounds. My goal was 60 to get back to my high school weight/build and I'm 50 into it. And this was going to be my reward for hitting my goal.
So we all have our own reasons and places and to start declaring one person a poseur over another because of where all us non-ninjas put a ninja tattoo is a bit of an artifice.
Agree to disagree, I guess
