yep, if they can be covered up with normal clothing then no one can discriminate against you... like some would.

Yeah, my main reason is future employment opportunity discrimination. It makes sense though. As much as I like tattoos, they are completely unprofessional.

Seriously, if you have gone from tigger to a moogle in 12 hours, you probably don't have enough investment in this to be pleased with it once you have it.
All, imho, of course.
I don't have any, but thought strongly about getting one when I was 18. Knew exactly the design, and it had personal significance, wouldn't be visible, and would be small and tasteful. 10 years later, I don't really care that I didn't get it, and I doubt it would matter to me if I had gotten it.

Well I took a photo of the area I wanted it, and placed the tigger there with photoshop. It looks bad. Not even sexy. Just...like a story book. And plus I've never really liked tigger.
But moogles, they hold a type significance. I love almost all the FF games. And moogles were my fav characters from them. They are mysterious, cute, and powerful. Very interesting mix.

i heard this on Bob and Tom. this guy was saying he saw another guy with a tattoo of two hands inked on around his neck, and wondered just what did that symbolize.

"i'll tell you what it doesn't symbolize, 'i want a good job'."

truth. :p

Same here. I would never get one anywhere visible to the public. Like my brother. He has tattoos up and down his forearms. On his hands. Just everywhere.
It looks bad and he will never have a professional job due to what he has done.
I take that back. Professional as in office professional.

I wouldn't get one with that much white.
Tats only hurt if you let them. They are more annoying than painfull. Just relax, and try to take your mind off of it.
I dont have a tat where you are talking about, but I have a good sized 1 on the inside of my arm. That has got to be 1 of the worst spots. Took the damn guy 6 hours too. It turned out to be my favorite, though.

The band around my leg was aweful. Shin and calf hurt a lot! Both different types of pain.

I have 1 on my lower leg as well, it did not bother me as much as the 1 on the inside of my arm.
I have tattoed 4 people myself (helped with a few others,) and watched countless others. The people who are nervous get hurt the most. Like I said just relax, and try to take your mind off of it. It will be alot easier for you.
Most shops don't let you, but I like to watch something while getting any work. Like a TV show, or movie.

please don't.

A guy does not need a tattoo period. A girl does not need a tattoo. No one needs any type of piercing. Or certain kinds of haircuts.
We don't need to buy nice shoes instead of walmart brand.
We don't need Dr. Pepper and Coke instead of water.

It's all in what we want and why.

So you'll be asking which plastic surgeon to go to once you stop the denial that you're gay?

I've been thinking about a Subaru tattoo, does that make me a lesbian?

(g/f's been watching the L word...)
