Uechi Tattoo

I practice Uechi Ryu Karate. Uechi Ryu tends to have a reputation (warranted or not) amongst other martial artists as being a more physical, harder style. Some people think we beat each other up to "toughen up." That's not entirely true, but I'll not get into details here.
Anyway, I don't bruise very easily, at least not visibly. Tonight after class, I noticed a small bruise on my arm. It's not much, but I'll wear my new Uechi Tattoo proudly, until it fades away.
