hey everyone, i am writing an article that i hope will be published in an american bully magazine hopefully.. so i need pictures of those who dont mind being published in an american bully magazine of people with tattoos and their pitbulls..
so, if anyone wants to do this , please post your pictures here and post that its ok to use your picture if my article makes it in the magazine.. i still have to fine tune the article, as its only a rough draft..

of course, my article might not even make it in the magazine, but its worth a try.. my title of my article is Bully Bias.... and the entire article is about stereotyping owners of the bully breeds whether apbt, sbt, amstaff, american bully, etc...

Damn. I guess this means I'll have to make myself presentable to the camera =/ Hope the poor thing doesn't shatter.

[maryellen]

oooh thanks!!! make sure its you and your dog, and your tattoos show clearly... i still have to fix the article, but i figured if i got pics that would help me fine tune it...

and , for those that dont know what an american bully magazine is , http://www.atomicdoggmagazine.com/

[maryellen]

the article i am writing is about Bully Bias.. and it covers all the bully breeds, and how the JQ public views us bully owners of any bully breed.. now there is no guarantee it will make the magazine, but its worth a shot
I would prefer visible tattoos, as the article i am working on for Bully Bias is about what people look like , and if they were walking down the street w/ a pitbull would you talk to them or cross the street, about homeowners insurance, landlords, stuff like that that is biased based on looks and not the actual person or dog.. here is an excerpt from what i am working on:

: You are walking down the street with your bully breed in town.. or in the park, and notice that some people will move across the street to avoid you, while others will keep walking toward you, and some will even ask to pet your dog.. you are walking your american bully or American pit bull terrier and you have tattoos, or wear baggy jeans, or a baseball hat , will people come up to you to say hi and ask to pet your dogs? or will they too cross the street because you look like a “stereotype” ? Even well dressed , tattoos hidden, hair in a ponytail walking your bully breed down the street will evoke two emotions- one of complete horror , and one of love for the dogs themselves.. Welcome to breed bias… where the average American pitbull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, American bully, and every other bully breed out there struggles with every day..

How about 2 sets of photos. One, looking very professional, tats covered, Joe Schmoe, one more relaxed, tats showing?

[maryellen]

dam i knew i left something out..Galadriel you are awesome!! ok, folks with their tats showing, and then folks all dolled/dressed up to the nines with no tats showing, but both with pitbulls in the picture.. like one of you relaxing with your dog with your tattoos showing, and one of you dressed up with no tattoos showing but still with your dog...
