    Hey:
    I have one tattoo on my left shoulder, small 2 inch Chinese dragon, and i am considering getting another one. I am leaving to serve in the Peace Corps in Ukraine for over two years to teach English. I read a book on how to blend in easier as a foreigner, but I am not certain how widely accepted tattoos are in the public eye in Ukraine. I understand that Eastern, Southern, and Western Ukraine are very different due to multiple neighbors and they are superstitious people. To be specific, I am thinking of getting a tattoo of the world on my back with marks of where i have traveled with brief descriptions of what I did in every location. The reason for this is that I realized awhile back that life is very fragile and I never want to forget where I have been and the people I have met that shaped me into the person I am today. But I am considering other alternatives. Would such a mark on my body be offensive in Ukraine?
