Friday fun: Pole bruise map

When I went for my first pole dancing lesson ever this picture was taped to the wall in Pole4Fit's hallway. I studied it waiting for the lesson to start, thinking it was just a joke. Well, the funniest jokes always pertain to real life, don't they? After the first lesson I was already sporting bruises on my inner calves and foot arches. Since then I've had almost all the bruises in the map and many more. I think the only one I haven't had is one on my forehead, but I did have an imposing bump and bruise on my chin for weeks after a brass monkey gone wrong.

Pole burn, "the mark of recognition" on my wrist will probably never heal, but to me that's more beautiful and tells more about me as a person than any tattoo ever could.
(OK, basically it just tells that I hold on to the pole too tight in certain advanced spins...)

I'm sorry that I can't give credit to whoever originally draw this map. If you happen to read this: Thank you!
