I love to have a tattoo pic Thread if people could take them for art or for there real meaning.
I have two tattoos. One on my upper right arm, that can only be seen when I shirtless or wear a tank top.
The second is on my left forearm. It is a K-bar with scroll. Not small by any means. Both are USMC tattoos. I wear short sleeves at work in the summer. The forearm tatoo is thereby visible.
I work in Telecommunications. I have never had a problem.

I did 10 years in the Army and I got out with a full sleeve.
I am now a Police Sgt and people are always surprised. Sometimes I hear people whisper "how can he be a cop with all those tattoos"...... I just smirk and keep walking.

My younger brother has full sleeves and one complete leg done. It was all done by a great artist and he gets more compliment's than weird looks. He works for US food services as a delivery driver. His supervisor told him at one time he was going to have to start wearing long sleeves and long pant's. Long story short the customers complained because they all loved my brothers great personality and said that the tattoo's were fitting for him. The only complaint now is that his stop's take longer because customers are always wanting to see his new art and how some of the new stuff looks after the healing. Its all personal preference, but when someone needs your service's they could give a damn about what you look like. This holds very true in public safety, I know that for a fact. One other thing! Most people that frown upon tattoo's are one's that secretly want them.
I have one. It's a mushroom on the inside of my ankle. It's real old, and comes from growing up in Macon, Ga in the late '60s/early '70s. That one should be easy to figure out if it's important to you. It's right out there given that I wear shorts most of the time regardless of the weather. Kind of a celebration of retirement after 40 years of having to dress so buttoned up every day.
Anyway, here's the problem as I see it: I honestly think it may compromise the medical care I receive. Doctors look at it sideways and you can see the wheels turning in their heads. I'm on a gurney a week ago waiting to be put under and the anesthesiologist actually starts asking about it.
I guess I could have it removed but given what it means to me from the past I don't want to. So it just comes down to personal responsibility I suppose. I did it, I keep it there when I don't have to so I'm responsible for whatever it brings my way.
Except for docs as noted above I really don't give two craps what anybody else thinks.

Not telling you to do anything. Just pointing out the fact that you are being an ass. Nothing more, nothing less.
lol
Maybe you should. Let me tell you bro, it's got nothing to do with the internet OR the tattoos. If you are at the next meet I would be happy to call you an ass FTF.
