    I have close friends in the tattoo industry, a brother that's a body modification specialist, and I myself am a bit of a tattoo collector.  I will say getting my ribcage done was worse than giving birth, and i'd never do anything to jeopardize that.  Your tattoo artist will tell u your ink is healed in 4-6 weeks, but in truth that top layer of skin is very vulnerable untill the "shine" wears off.  u know how tattoos go in stages: puffy/swollen, scabby and itchy, peeling/flaking, and finally as it heals it sort of "shines."  That shine is the newly healed skin and is VERY delicate~at that stage you can still damage your tattoo by friction such as poling.  However, everyone heals at a different rate, and only you know what point of the healing process you're in…..hope that helps???

    Ditto to what everyone else has said~u may not have danced and entire song, but from what u did do i could tell right away that u were strong, graceful, and talented. (after 16 years of dance competitions i have an eye for these things, lol).  i was too busy FREAKING out about using a 50mm pole and using an xstage for the 1st time…i think i just walked around the pole and did a few dips till the song was over!!!!!!  I choreographed this routine two months ago on my 45 with lots of combo spins~what i do best.  i can't even do a SINGLE spin on a 50 so all my choreo went out the window.  but we live, we learn, and next time we will KILL it!!!!!!!!!!!

    At this point~there seems to be something i love about everyone in the industry!!!! They all bring something so different to the pole.  I will say that back when i first started and REALLY wasn't sure if pole was for me, i was VERY inspired by Amber Richard.  I was shocked to find there was big name pole dancer out there with a BALLET backround~same as me!!!!!  i became obsessed with her videos and just 4 weeks after i started poling i had the opprotunity to take a workshop with her!!!  She definately inspired and encouraged my love of pole!!!!!!!!  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

    Veena~i'm the friend that was over yesterday and i am NO expert on the matter.  But just from what i observed it sounds like her situation is very similar to yours!  she is VERY close on her middle splits (and i even mentioned her great turn out, lol) but she def has difficulty squaring her hips for front splits.  I'm sure since you had a similar issue u can help our friend glitter get her front splits https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    I have always poled in boyshort undies bought a sz larger than normal so they r short but not so "cheeky."  I cant really think of a spin where my thighs came into contact with the pole and got stuck b/c they were exposed….are you positive u r using proper form on the spins that are giving u trouble?
