I rarely perform in traditional venues (like a Middle Eastern restaurant, or weddings), so in that respect, it doesn't matter much....though I would say that the majority of Middle Eastern people I've encountered at the performances "elsewhere" have been extremely complimentary regarding my ink. Otherwise, if someone didn't like it, they didn't say it.

I've had an idea though for piece that would take up most of my lower right leg/back of calf, and as much as I love the concept, I'm not exactly sure about it's effect visually with my dancing, especially since I do a lot of Turkish-style legwork. So maybe it will go on my right arm instead...but I have sooo many ideas for the other arm...
