Tattoos & Work

I want to get a small tattoo, probably of a line from one of my favorite literary works.

Where is the best place to get a tattoo if I don't want it to prevent me from getting a job. I'm on track to get the kind of the job where I have to wear a suit to work every day.

Even though I'm a dude, the most desirable places for a tattoo in my opinion are ankle and wrist, because the skin there doesn't change much over time, and they are discreet and delicate areas of the body. Obviously they aren't particularly hidden, at least the wrist is very hard to keep private. The typical chest tattoo that one would only see if I didn't have my shirt on doesn't appeal to me because when people get old they get saggy moobs and I don't want that.

Thoughts?

Edit:
Is this a feminine location for a tattoo or is it fairly neutral?

I like the mid side, over the ribs.

Also - saggy moobs are terrible tattoo or not, just stay in shape until you're too old to care 🙂
 
I've always wanted a small one at the base of my neck on my upper back. As I got older the desire faded.
 
wat?? you don't want to look like all the other carnival side show tat clowns walking around??

Upper arm.

Thats too "macho" for me. I'm a gangly dude, and I don't have much arm muscle. So that isn't really a part of my body I want to draw attention to with ink. It also gets more muscular in direct correlation to whether I'm actively playing a sport or in the offseason, so I see it as a part of my body that changes too much.

:thumbsup: Couldn't agree more.

Don't get a tattoo. You'll just regret it later in life. The only people who don't are people who don't give a shit and/or have no job.
 
I'm currently contemplating getting a line from Edgar Allen Poe or Oscar Wilde, on the inside of my foot like what I linked to in my original post.

I want to get it in size 20 font, as it is going to be like a 20th birthday gift to myself.

WHAT line? Placement may relate to length or content of the quote.

20 seems kinda large.
 
Almost everybody who has ever had a tattoo ended up regretting it at some stage. Companies that specialize in Laser removals are doing a booming business at the moment.

Just don't do it. It's silly.
