^Agreed. I think back at some of the things that I wanted to get tattooed when I was your age, and I'm glad I didn't go through with it.

I'm 23 now, and the only thing I'm going to get tattooed for sure is this:



It's my family crest.

You should probably wait a couple of years but I imagine you wont, so...

Your best bet is to find a 'Scratcher' - someone who works from home. They're gernerally kind of leniant. Or a backstreet Tattooist - you find the little, dirty looking ones will tattoo anything for cash.

Saying that, you go to either of those and the chances that you're left with something of bad quality and/or infections are pretty high. As everyone else said, you're better off waiting it out and going somewhere decent with somebody who is a 'proper' artist and will do the job well.

I think I liked stuff like body mods a lot more back when they were still considered "contercultural". As in, you could walk into somewhere like Aeropostale or Abercrombie without seeing a clerk with streched lobes and a tramp stamp.

I gave myself a tattoo on my foot when I was fourteen, though. With india ink and a thick sewing needle. It's healed pretty well now, but looks stupid. I decided I wanted an anarchy sign, because I was ~SOOPER PUNX~, and changed my mind a year ago. It's covered now, with a ****ty-looking nautical star.

Anyways, I pretty much second what everyone else here said about getting tattoos. And, if you're feeling super creative, there's ways to do it yourself.

Can we ask what you're getting tattooed?

I'll assume theres some significance there. If thats the case, get your madre to sign off on it. Don't get some drunk dip**** to do it.

I'm really starting to regret having a tattoo all the way down my forearm. Not because I don't like it, but because I have this embedded notion (that's pretty much correct) about being presentable in the work-place that's getting harder and harder to ignore as I head into my last year of college.
I had the tattoo done in 06' while I was in the army and needless to say, I was drunk and stupid.
I wouldn't have a problem wearing long sleeve shirts in the work-place, but I live in Louisiana and that's just preposterous. It's way too hot and humid here for that.

I'm probably just being prematurely concerned, but I wonder if any of you have entered into corporate-type careers with a visible tattoo, and how was it received?
I'm not worried about what "people" will think... it's more about landing the job/not being laid off.

Depends on what you're looking to do. If you want to go into IT you can dress like a Chicken for all they care, they just want to have their e-mail work.

I know quit a few people with sleeve tattoos and they haven't had issues. But again, its not outlandish for us to wear long sleeves,

Yea I generally see IT guys wearing semi-casual stuff... You know, the whole collared short sleeve polo shirt tucked into slacks or even jeans, but I never see people like that with tattoos running down their arm, so I'm a bit uneasy about it.
But you say you've seen it not being a problem, that's cool. I get a little relief from that.

I guess time will tell. I mean, I'm certainly not going to pay to get it removed and have a bluish mess all over my arm for the rest of my life. I guess I'm kinda hoping that it's not as bad as I think it is.
