Lots of people with tattoos train. It's not a big deal.

Grabbing me by the ponytail annoys me more than it hurts me. Grabbing the short hairs on the back of my neck, OTOH....I had someone do that to me once. He did it repeatedly. The first few times it was effective. Then I got got past the pain and noticed he wasn't really using technique so I grit my teeth and did a reversal. He stopped pulling my hair after that.
