I have a fleur de lis tattoo on my right shoulder that is medium-sized, is beautifully done, and has a lot of meaning behind it. However, I'm somewhat worried that when I study abroad in France next year I may be negatively judged by the French for it, that is if they even see it at all.

In the Middle Ages, in France, we tattooed a fleur de Lys on right shoulder to punish prostitutes and put the shame on their.

But i don't think is the good reason, today french people like tattoo and not many people remember signification of the fleur de lys tattoo.
