i want to get a tattoo, but the problem is my friends told me that it's hard to get a job when you have a tattoo. Yet, i know a number who has gotten tattoos, but they have jobs in some offices. I think that your ink or tattoo is a reflection of your personality and tastes, so hiding means pretending to be someone you are not. I haven't gotten one yet, but i want to.. Do you have tattoos? What were the disadvantages you faced when you got one?

I don't have any tattoos but I want some. Where I want them would be controversial to where I work though. So it's either move the tattoos or cover them up, which means long sleeves year round, and I tend to sweat alot which means more water... Well I still want them, and in that spot, so we'll see what I end up doing. Either way I may have to be in this line of work for some time, which means that I'd have to keep covering them up for some time.
