Mr.98 ( talk) 15:32, 11 December 2011 (UTC) Reply They're indeed a very old tradition, but prominent tattoos have had a fairly defined sort of population of users. I certainly recommend against silly looking ones, but tattoos are a very old tradition, and one need not necessarily spend all of one's decisions (especially one as relatively trivial as this one) worry about what one's 70-year-old future self might think. A meaningful, significant, and tastefully chosen tattoo will continue to be as important to one as one wants it to be. Richard Avery ( talk) 08:08, 11 December 2011 (UTC) Reply Oh, you two. You are young and your feelings, your work, your social environment may change in the future and may make the decision, one way or the other, clearer for you. Marco polo ( talk) 02:40, 11 December 2011 (UTC) Reply As with many permanent commitments in life, if you have doubts - don't. Tattoo removal is possible, but difficult, painful, and potentially scarring. Try to imagine yourself as that older person, perhaps a grandmother, and whether you will still want a drooping, faded tattoo at that age. I know it is hard to imagine when you are 21, but someday, if you are lucky, you will be 61 or 71. HS7 ( talk) 17:19, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply For your own sake, consider that, as you grow older, tattoos tend to droop and fade. Though, I did read somewhere once that in India snake decorations are considered to ward off evil spirits, or some such. Michael J 16:40, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply Exactly why a decision like this needs a lot of thought beforehand, so many options to consider. A teddy bear on your ankle or a small butterfly on your shoulder could be acceptable in most circles, while a snake wrapped around your arm would not be. HS7 ( talk) 15:10, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply It also depends on what the tattoo is of. Mr.98 ( talk) 12:14, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply Why not try out some temporary tattoos first?- Shantavira| feed me 14:55, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply Or, get a tattoo that looks exactly the same as the part of your body it is on, that way when you go to work, they will not notice it so much. It might also depend on the tattoo's content. In the United States there are some work environments that would never hire someone with a tattoo showing, but the vast majority don't care that much anymore, I don't think. Anyway, all of this depends on the context, of course. The fact that it isn't always visible can make it something special, as well. It becomes something you can accessorize with quite well. It's a nice option, because you can easily have it covered up if you need to, but you can also make it quite visible if you want as well. Dismas| (talk) 11:29, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply I know a number of people (in the United States) who have tattoos on their shoulders. Or are you getting it just for you and you don't care what others think? If so, then the shoulder blade may be perfect. Are you getting the tattoo simply to show other people? If so, then it might be a bit hard to show it off there. You ask if having something on your shoulder blade would "go to waste" but we don't know what "a waste" is to you. She still wears long sleeve shirts even though the tattoos are of flowers and other "pretty" things and also everyone who has worked here more than a few years knows that she's tattooed since she used to not have the job she has now and at that time wore t-shirts. and I know someone who has her entire arm sleeved with tattoos. We have no idea where you intend on working, what the dress code is like there, how conservative the hiring manager is, or even what you plan to have tattooed on your body! I work for a large multinational corporation which is fairly tolerant of different hair styles, looks, etc. We have no idea what a potential employer is going to think about you having a tattoo on your neck or any place else for many reasons. HS7 ( talk) 10:15, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply Some of your questions have rather subjective answers. Will it be odd if I had a tattoo on my arm? Will it conflict with the image of a petite girl in a party dress? Will getting a tattoo on my neck be offensive when I go to work in a corporate office? Will one on my shoulder blades go to waste because I don't wear shoulder baring clothing often? 223.235.46.179 ( talk) 09:42, 10 December 2011 (UTC) Reply Have photographs taken of yourself in different clothes and different positions, then draw the tattoo on on your computer, see where it looks nice. I wear tshirts and jeans, mostly, but also dresses sometimes. I've seen people get tattoos on their backs, shoulder blades, chests, stomachs, arms. Okay, so I've been meaning to get a tattoo done, but I'm not sure where to put it.
