By the third lesson I already had a better idea of what I was getting myself into. I realized how difficult it is, how much strength is required. I was sweating a lot and the pole felt soo slippery. I was struggling so much just to do a simple pole sit... Yes I look back at it now and it seems a bit funny but when you are a beginner everything is a challenge. Sometime between the second lesson and the third one I got my biggest tattoo - the two sterling roses on my thigh. I actually built the design for that tattoo, meaning that I used many different elements and I combined them into one larger piece. So I guess that this was my first composite in a way ;) I was only starting with photography so I don't have any great photos of my tattoo from back then but I have more recent ones in my gallery. I waited for the tattoo to heal properly before I booked another lesson. A little while before getting the tattoo I was really into micro-dermals. I remember having several. At first I got one on my index finger on my left hand - and it was matching my nose ring :) t didn't take a long time for me realize how uncomfortable it was - the ring was getting caught onto anything and it was bothering me every time I needed to get something from my handbag. I loved how pretty it looked so I decided that maybe I just picked a bad place for it. Maybe I can just have it in a different place instead of removing it completely. So I tried having one near my collar bone, which also didn't work great. Next place I tried was my left arm just above the wrist and for some reason I got 3 microdermals. They did look pretty even though they weren't in a straight line exactly. I remember that the middle one was sticking out more than the other two. Anyways, long story short I ended up removing those three because I knew how much it hurts when they get caught on to something soft so I had no intention of finding out what it would have felt like if they get caught on something harder. During the lesson I don't remember them being a problem but I wasn't really doing a lot of thing at that point so I decided that it's best not to risk it. Later on many instructors explained that another thing to consider is damaging the pole - sharp metal things sticking out ( like a zipper or dermals) could create nasty scratches on the pole and no one wants that. I did have my last try with the microdermals several months after, I had a cute diamond-like one on my right hand but that one didn't stay for long either. So what I can say is that as long as a tattoo is fully healed and you are no longer applying any type of lotion on it there shouldn't be a problem.
Micro-dermals on the other hand - they do not go well with pole dancing. Even though I didn't have any mishaps with them I still would rather not have to worry about them during a pole lesson, since there are more important things to focus on - like keeping a strong grip :)
