I feel strange going there now, and feel like she doesn't look at me the same way anymore.
Kay: Good for you treating yourself to something really nice- especially wine. I love wine; it is a pleasure!

Your tatoo definitely is eye appealing. In some ways, the clerk must be jealous to a varying degree and not brave enough herself to get one. Just for her to recognize it/remembering you with it is a big deal. Most clerks don't remember customers at all. She remembered you by the design of the tatoo- connecting you (the person) with the tatoo (the image).

If you feel self-concious about going in that store don't. You hold your head up high, smile and think "I have a beautiful tatoo and was brave enough to get it done"! Keep that in the back of your mind. You are brave, courageous and kind. Run with it!!!
