The mention of your Tattoo brings to mind an episode of Cops. They were trying to arrest a guy who had a very visible "NA" Tattoo on his shoulder. He was resisting and struggling like mad. He was also a spokesman for "NA" because of the Tattoo. I wondered to myself how many people watching this are saying, " I knew it, NA does not work. Just look at that guy.

I do not have an NA bumper sticker for the same reason. If I were to inadvertently make another motorist mad with my driving, he could assume that NA people are disrespectful lousy drivers.

When I wear a shirt with the Logo or sport a bumper sticker with NA on it, I had better be on my very best behavior. I am representing the fellowship as a whole when I do. I have only 2 shirts with NA on them and I only wear them to NA functions.

I am in no way saying you would do something like described above, and your Tattoo is not that visible unless you are swimming or sunbathing. I just offer this as something for people to think about.
