Maybe it's a UK thing, that doesn't apply in the US. Most people i know with tattoos (and that's a lot of people) are neither of those.
That wasn't ignorant.
Wow. Just wow.
hahah well ... like I always say, opinions are like *******s, we all have them and they all stink. Having met Tomorrow in person I would say he's anything less. I just happen to think that area is more girl than boy. It's silly, i think I already owned up to that!I have a tatoo on my left ankle. It would appear my friend, that Jessica thinks we are feminine.
You're probably a riot at the office Christmas party!
As long as they aren't cartoon characters or Disney Princesses, you can keep your man cards.
Umm.. well, you see... ahhh... *deep breath* $%#*!!!!!
Just giving you a hard time friend. Next time you visit we'll all get together for a bite to eat. Maybe we'll even invite Moyank24 to come to.

Send yourself a bill...because this is going to take a while.

I'm actually the clown and the first one up on the bar, but in the office during working hours I conduct my self professionally.
There's a time and a place for everything and that's really what this is all about.
I just think it's going to be amusing when all these young people getting tattoos today get older. That perky little tattoo you have at 20 isn't going to be so perky when you're 60. It's the same thing with those huge ear lobe plugs. Hope you never have to remove 'em.

That is one thing I haven't been able to see as a "cool" thing, I agree with that. Tattoo's.. eh. Does skin really look good at 60 anyways. For most not all. I am sure there are exceptions before somebody starts flaming me.

I'm sure we'll see a classic iJH response soon... he's just getting some matches.
I personally think tattoos are disgusting. I don't understand how someone could do that to their body. What really gets to me is when I see a beautiful younger lady (18-25) or even an older woman with a tramp stamp. Really, I just shake my head, what will you think of it when you are 60?? Piercings... same thing. I am so tempted to ask some of these people what the hell are you thinking, but I don't because I already know they are not thinking. But do what you want and be the freak show you want to be, just try to cover them up when you are out in the public, they really are hideous!!

Running for the fire proof suit now! LOL
I think .Jessica said it best, opinions are like *******s, we all have them and they all stink!

You should see when someone walks into the office with one of those torn. Looks like the have a goober hanging off the side of their head. I'm an audiologist and a PA, so it's always fun when they ask to have to reattached so they can put the gauge back in. You just shake your head.
About 50 years ago you would have been correct. A survey done (can't remember the source, so I know this will be suspect) demonstrated that in the cohort of Americans born since 1980, 40% have at least one tattoo.
To OP - remember, your decision is for life. No problem with tats (full disclosure - I have two), but you are less likely to have any regrets with a more inconspicuous placement. The regret is not for having the tat, just where you have it placed. If it turns out you work in a field where it would not be an issue, you can always have another done in a more conspicuous location.
(Yes, I know you could have a tattoo removed, but it hurts like hell and is expensive. Best when getting a tat to assume it is for life.)
LOL....... That is funny. They look funky when the guage is out too. But to each there own.
Yes there were.
Umm.. well, you see... ahhh... *deep breath* $%#*!!!!!

That's definitely a tattoo as worn by a criminal type
Probably done in cell while drinking moonshine.
I think my favorite has been the Gucci Mane face tattoo of the ice cream cone with lightning bolts
Behold...
