Hey Orbs, forget the community consensus. Get another tit tat, but this time make it north of the nipple.

I'm starting to reconsider and thinking to put it on my lower tricep so its still visible with a short sleeve shirt but i could roll up my sleeves at a professional job. My only doubt is that my upper arm is moderately hairy, and most guys don't have any hair on there upper arm, so idk how it would look.
Send me a message, wherever I am in 10 years, and let me know how he made out with the money.
I have tattoos and work in a white collar job doing IT and it has never been an issue. I wear long sleeves shirts all year around to work, so I just don't get any tattoos on my hands, neck or face...everything else can be hidden. My brother has full sleeves and he is a district manager for a retail corporation. He has never had any issues regarding his job and his tattoos.
I'd say go for it if thats the place you really want it, just be prepared to long sleeve shirts. Its not an issue for me. Just stay away from any offensive tattoos and keep them off your hands, neck and face.
Sorry, saying that tattoos = criminal is a completely ignorant statement.

Hey man, if you want to join my secret club all you have to do is get "Pen 15" tattooed on your forearm -preferably without the space. Once you get the tattoo, other members will recognize you and you'll see the benefits almost immediately.
The "gage" giant hole in your ears earrings are a trend that baffles me. Darwin was apparently wrong.
I have a tatoo on my left ankle. It would appear my friend, that Jessica thinks we are feminine.
I can be...if she asks me nicely.
I'm sure they're very manly....skulls and crossbones, right?
As long as they aren't cartoon characters or Disney Princesses, you can keep your man cards.
Mine's a rose on a champagne glass.
Seriously.
*sheepishly hands over man card*
Less than a stinky *******?
The lead cast and stars of the Lord of the Rings trilogy have their 'initiation' tattoos placed (as the story goes) on their butt cheek. You have to be an initiate to know the design.

Good choice not getting it on your forearm. Interesting design...still not a fan of tattoos, but it's not like I can't appreciate the design.
your first tattoo is about where mine is, on me (right upper chest). He's a weedy seadragon that I named.... wait for it... Chester.
Lol, nice choice of name. I already have my third one planned. It's a steve jobs quote. "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" down my rib cage.your first tattoo is about where mine is, on me (right upper chest). He's a weedy seadragon that I named.... wait for it... Chester.
I'm itching for my third one, as well... I do have grandiose plans for a patch of sargassum, on my back. Within the seaweed seven small animals will be hidden; sargassum fish, filefish, shrimp, nudibranch, pipefish. crab, and seahorse. One for each of my kids.
But I also want a hagfish, cookie cutter shark, queen conch, queen angel, etc etc etc.

Sooo basically you want an aquarium on your back?
Edit: Holy s*** you have 7 kids?

right on both counts.
My kids are ages 7-17. When I was in for my octopus tattoo, a 6-hour session, my 13-year old came in with her mother and wanted to get her upper ear/cartilage pierced. Since her report card was good and the dude doing the piercing was named Tuna, I had no problem with that.
right on both counts.
Wow that's a lot of kids. And you can never go wrong with a guy named Tuna.
Congrats! Looks good and like the design. Good decision to stay away from the forearm for now.
Honestly, I really want this:

It may not be fair but then life is not fair. Yes people do judge by appearances and no matter how much people crow about how bad that is, its a fact.
I echo other's sentiments that by getting a tattoo on your forearm you may be limiting your professional growth and job opportunities.
Let me put it another way. The job market is horrendous, why would you want to purposely make getting a job even harder.
I have no issues with tattoos, I've been tempted to get one as well, but what holds me back is the fact is that I either personally know or know of people who got them and then a few years down the road regretted it. To a person each one stated that their tattoos will not be regretted because its a deep meaning, but then a few years later that seemed to change
Edit: looks like a tad late to the party regarding the tattoo - oh well
