I'll probably get one at schoolies, and when my parents find out I'll say I was drunk and couldn't remember it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm hoping it's just bad photos; because that line art looks pretty bad in some places. At least i'ts not going to solid black - solid black tribals ftl; But it seems like it'll turn out fairly well - post another pic when it's finished :)

 

 

 

2. When you get in the corporate world suddenly it isn't so cool and you have to hide it or risk losing business.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's absolutely the opposite, well, of course depending on which kind of people you deal with. I have a very small tattoo which isn't visible when wearing a shirt or a suit, but I've found out a lot of people *do* have tattoos and especially the younger generation doesn't feel "weird" about them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think you are an employer. Will you discard a person 10x more talented than the next applicant just because he has a tattoo? If you would, you'd know nothing about business (or want to lose money)

There's some professions where visible tattoo's go against company policy (I know Retails tends to have a big 'no-no' on visble tattoo's and very strict on what peircings you can have.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never quite got why white-collar jobs that don't put you in front of an employee are against visibles though; it happens - and it's bad decisions on managements imo; for the reaons you stated.

Tattoos do not make you look cool, they make you look immature. (This increases as you get older, as well.) Everyone I know that got one regretted it later.

its cause the pic was tooken like couple hours after it was done and i still have a bunch of smudges from the ink and it was to tender to rub try and get the rest off....getting the rest done in 2 days then ill post the pic

No.....Im still young so it depends :-k

Try telling that to everyone that sees him on the street, because thats always the initial reaction, its the natural thing to think, because its usually true.

My aunt got one at 55ish(I don't know her age =X) do you still think people will call her immature?

I can't speak for everyone, but many would definitely think such.

I would pretty much never get one but I'm not going to rule it out completely. My friend got this beautiful small-medium blue swallow on the inside of his bicep and it looks incredible.

I do wish people would take a long hard look at themselves before making asinine judgements about others. :?

Let me a clarify something... tatoos, possibly dirty needles getting shoved into your skin to make a picture... you get diseases and when you get older and your skin sags it messes up

Yeah, i'm getting a few of them. Just have to get the money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first one I'm getting is a pair of praying hands and a rosary wrapped around them with a banner type thing with my fathers Name on it and the year he was born and the year he died. I'm getting that on my back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other one i'm getting is a really cool looking Nautical star with a cool looking 7 behind it because I'm born on the 7th, favorite number etc.

Get off the high horse yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noone in their right mind can say that people that DON'T know the person wouldn't assume they are of a more "questionable" stature with a tattoo. Its simply a generalization built into everyone's minds. If someone has tattoos, you instantly make assumptions about them, as with dozens of other extreme physical traits..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now of course if you know the person, blah blah blah they're a good guy. I'm sure they are, but that doesn't change what people that don't know them think.

I am qualified to make a broad generalization about most people's initial reaction when they see someone with a tattoo.

Care to elaborate on that?

So when u walk down the street and see a guy/gal with a little tattoo on their arm. You assume that they are immature? And you also think most people think that aswell?

No. I find them ugly.

 

 

 

agreed.

 

 

 

my music teacher has a tasteful treble clef on her ankle though but i would never get one.

 

 

 

my parents would kill me if i did :ohnoes:

I'd get one of my family crest and the New Zealand flag but tattoos instantly put you into a catagory when applying for a job.

I question their maturity more than if they didn't have one. I can't make it much simpler than that. Everyone is taking this personally, and thats not my intention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

..and to Suziangel, thats about as to-the-point as I can get!

Let me a clarify something... tatoos, possibly dirty needles getting shoved into your skin to make a picture... you get diseases and when you get older and your skin sags it messes up

 

 

 

1. Using dirty needles is ILLEGAL; health and safety will shut them down and fine them like all hell. Also; you have every right to tell them to open EVERYTHING that they'll use in front of you; if they refuse; you can simply walk away / sue them if they refuse mid-process).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tattoo-ist generally wash thier hands up to TWENTY times a day; more than. Clinics are usually one of the most cleanest places you'll ever vist (sparing hospitals) but they come pretty damn close.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At everyone having a go at Tattoo's and those who have them, etc: [cabbage] generalizations should be kept to yourself till you know the industry that you're insulting more than your own guesses :uhh:

I'm gonna have to go a big DITTO on that one. The fact that you think that they would actually use or allow them to use dirty needles means you don't really know what you are talking about.
