The thing is, I'm 33 years old, I'm not exactly rebelling here. Hell, I don't smoke, drink, do drugs, gamble, I'm a pretty damn boring person all things considered haha. My oldest brother has tattoos so it's not like this is new, either. My mother in-law is even worse about it despite 3 of her 4 girls having tattoos. She's just downright rude to her kids (who are all grown ass women) about it.Eh. Who cares about tattoo's. Your family or anyone shouldn't be concerned about anything other than your health (you don't go to a dive that reuses needles or unsterile equipment / ink so you don't get hepatitis or something worse.... or that you don't get one on your face or somewhere visible that employers can see.
Outside of that, who cares what you choose to do with your body.
Don't get curse words / extreme violence / gang affiliation ink done either, that is counter productive =P
I got one when I was 18 with my then lady friend. I got my ink on my right arm, on the tricep, just below my shoulder. Can't see it if I wear a t-shirt, only with my shirt off or a tank-top. No problem at all.
My brother has two on his left arm, same thing, around his bicep and tricep just below shoulder.
Our parents were the same way, 'we don't like tattoo's and they make you look trashy, but we can't stop you, but if you must get one - don't get anything you will regret and don't get it on your face or where employers can see.'
There will be no words involved, nothing even remotely gang related or violent haha. I want my entire inside of my forearm done so it will be visible at work if I roll up my sleeves which I usually do but we have people tatted right up in senior management so that doesn't make a bit of difference. Plus I've already been promoted to as high as I want to go so I really wouldn't care either way.
I guess I'm just a little naive, I figured most people wouldn't care in this day and age. I mean, I know plenty of chicks with full sleeves that would make the Undertaker jealous and I think nothing of it. Face tattoos are a little much but in the end, meh, whatever floats your boat.
I do however want to get one REALLY well done. I have friends who got a buddy to do their's and they just look terrible.
