I´m considering getting a tattoo soon but there are so many opinions on that. My family of course disagrees completely. My mom says that she doen´t even want to now if i go ahead and do it. My husband says that he thinks it´s sexy, as long as it´s something small or discrete. Lots of people have tattoos all over, you can see their arms and neck, and well at the beach some people are covered all over. So is it really true that people discriminate beacuse of tattoos?? What about the working place???? Do you thing it will affect someones opinion of you if you have any tattoos? Or what about a job interview? Will it lower my possibilities of getting that job? How will it affect my kids? Do you think they will be embarrassed if somebody teases them about their mom having tattoos? Theres so much to take in consideration,,,it doesn´t just have to do whether you have decided and set your mind to it, or on how insecure you are. Bcause really if it affects others then it something tothink about.

good topic...I have two tattoos I have a blue daisy (my favorite flower) around my belly button and a small colorful open rose with a heart center on my right top shoulder blade I love them both but I can hide them very easily...So I think it has a lot to do with where you get it if you are worried about what people think just get it some where you can hide if you need to but easy to show off when you want to good luck!

I got my first tattoo when I was 23. I figured I was old enough to do it and like what I got. I got a playboy bunny on my right upper arm, my friend got a matching one on her ankle, we did it for her birthday. Over time I began to hate the location of it. It made me feel like a prison inmate... I designed a cover tattoo for it, and thats working out great. I think that not only location but design has a lot to do with it. Maybe sometime I'll get my playboy bunny elsewhere, like on my ankle. You can get discriminated for, have you never discriminated someone for it? Men with them on their necks or chest, just kindof screams out prison sentence!!! And women that let them hang out above their pants.. "tramp stamps". If you want to get one, get it some place that can be concealed for work, yet flaunted for fun.
