I think I posted my comment under the wrong button. Anyway I do respect Polunin and that he is brave enough to stand up for what he believes in. About the tattoos I read an interview where he said that during performances his tattoos are covered with make-up although it sometimes rubs off on the costumes which his partners are not always very happy about

I greatly respect Polunin who is brave enough to speak out on issues he believes in. Art has always been connected to politics and art to sits politely on the sidelines and does not speak out is a dead art. Besides Polunin and lived and worked in UK, Russia and Ukraine and experienced all three countries personally and in depth so who better to give opinions on the current situation.
