Tattoos... Yes? No?


Recommended Posts

Yes, particularly as we appear to be heading out of the recession, and prices will indubitably rise.....

Yes.

All except those who have given serious thought to this consideration, and 'looked ahead'.

 

'Foolish' tattoos are names of BF or GF..... pictures of a spouse at your wedding.... dolphins round a belly-button, when genetically speaking, you may not be prone to remaining slender for life.....:rolleyes: Seen all these....

 

My tattooist refuses to tattoo the names or portraits of relationship partners, on the basis that statistically, the tattoo is destined to last longer than said relationship.

 

Wow.. those would be terrible. ha ha ha

 

Most everything I do and think is timeless and not related to pop culture in any way, thankfully. I don't own a tv an could not identify most celebrities. Certainly no people on them. I was thinking of interesting things from my life at sea, science background, optical illusions, things that might have a meaning to me, etc...

 

But... I love the temp tattoo idea. Just to go for a test drive for a week and see how it feels or works with my current style...

The one that I really regret is on my inner wrist. :( So regret it. Not what it is, but where it is and the fact that it's off center slightly (I'm slightly anal retentive about that kind of thing.) Even if I'd gone with a temporary tat, that wouldn't have made a difference in terms of it being off center. I didn't regret it for a few months so temporary tats wouldn't have helped me.

 

Also, I have some very prominent nontraditional piercings. My current job is okay with whatever. I could have my entire face tattooed and they wouldn't/couldn't do a thing about it. However, I am thinking about changing my jobs and doing something in the medical field and believe I would have to cover my wrist tattoo and my prominent nontraditional piercings. I know you say now that it wouldn't effect your job, but you just never know if that might change.

 

Good luck in your decision!

Ok, I hear you, but I'm older. I own 2 small businesses and have not worked for anyone except me since the turn of the century. ;) Been an entrepreneur from day 1.

 

I will not ever work for someone. I employ about a dozen people right now.

Granted, that's fine.

But realise this: Whatever you have done, and however prominent or hidden it is, people will evaluate you on what they see.

It's human.

 

You know the old saying:

 

"You never get a second chance to make a First Impression"....?

 

If you work with the public - even if you're your own boss - how you look affects the observer.

 

That's all.

Take a look at these.....

 

Amazing.

 

Those are interesting and I've seen a lot of those, but I'm trying to keep it a little more understated. Probably monochrome, or a lot of monochrome with classic illusions like the painting with the never ending stairs or things along those lines anyway.

 

Maybe some important constants/math and NASA logos from projects I have worked on that are still in space and still in the news on occasion. Stuff that is meaningful to me.

Very true.... and I am clueless about this. I never know how others see me. Never put time/effort into an image. Wish I had some help on this aspect of things.

 

One business doesn't matter at all. Another is yacht charters where ultra wealthy rent boats with captains (including myself as one). Image is very important in that business... well, trust is anyway.

How about this as a tattoo for your yachting clients?

The issue of image is a big one. As yachts crew, we are expected to look like this.....

So... could I be the Dennis Rodman of yachts? The world is changing a lot. Look at the America's Cup. It used to look like this....

So...... Things are way more "in your face" and I have a boat that is a lot like the modern America's Cup designs.

 

So maybe edgy would be good? A marketing advantage?

Pretty stupid how you can't edit posts on here..... ( or link to images!!!!)

 

 

Here it is again with a different type of link......

 

How about this as a tattoo for your yachting clients?

 

"By all means call on God - but at least sail AWAY from the rocks...."

 

The issue of image is a big one. As yachts crew, we are expected to look like this.....

So... could I be the Dennis Rodman of yachts? The world is changing a lot. Look at the America's Cup. It used to look like this....

Think purely about who you are, and what image you want to project.

Sometimes, a tattoo transforms us into that image of ourselves, merely by our constant consciousness of its presence.

be who you want to be, and strive to improve on that, if that's what you want.

 

FYI, most of my tattoos have a Buddhist theme.

On a practical note, be very cautious about exposing a new tattoo to the elements - salty water and constant tension on the muscle, in full sun do not a good recipe make.

Actually, the constant sun exposure was my biggest concern. I am outdoors all the time. Is that an issue?

Only when the tattoo is very recent. You need to give it around 2 weeks protection, to ensure complete healing.

 

One of my exes had a multicolour tattoo and the yellow bits would 'bump up' in the sun. No itching, no pain, just bumpy.

It was a flower, so I think it was just a photosynthetic reaction!

 

Inks are a lot more sophisticated now, and much more hypo-allergenic.

But your skin will still tan/burn in the sun, so you should always slap it on thickly.

Gotcha.

 

Thank you so much for your help! :)

The best way to learn about what it's like to get a tattoo, is to ask someone who's got one.

 

Glad to help.

Most of what needs to be said has been, but, and I direct this at the OP..I, too am self employed...NONE of my tattoos are visible -even with conventional summer clothing.

 

One of the main reasons is I do deal with the public and really dont want to be judged...The neck tattoo is a big mistake, imo..

 

Realize this...Unless you are 75 years old, you cant really say that "well, I am self employed and I dont care"...You dont know what the future holds..Your business might fold up or you get tired of it and now perhaps you want to get a job, it could come back and bite you in the ass...

 

Also, dont forget, I have gone to bankers for funding on projects. If I had sleeves, nose or eye rings, neck tattoos, etc...you might be surprised how the door might close on you for what you have done..

 

But at the end of the day, as I have said before, do it because YOU feel its right for you ..Weigh all the potential consequences carefully because unlike a radical hairstyle...it wont grow back..

Reasons to NOT get a tattoo (visible ones, anyway)

-restricts work opportunities

-Look hideous as you age (most of the time)

- Don't get one cause someone suggests you should

 

Reasons TO get a tattoo

-You like them and want one.

I have two, so obviously I like them but I don't like meaningless tattoos.

Both my tattoos really mean something to be - which in turn means I don't give a toss what anyone else thinks of them.

I would never do it as an 'image' thing, for me I was marking my body for a reason.

 

Also mine are easy to cover if need be - not that I care to cover them but some things require you do.

 

One's a quote on the side of my arm, had that done in memory of a friend.

 

The other is on my shoulder blade. Got it done on a trip, so it reminds me of that, plus its something I had wanted for a really really long time - its a native American Bear symbol. Its meant to symbolise a protector and mean strength and leadership

 

 

I want to get a third on one side of my chest - a little roman knight with my sons names underneath.....I guess that's the thing, when its something you want 100% you won't regret it. but I think you need to know what you want as apposed to just wanting something.

Shepp, I can respect your reasons. Thanks. I'm seeing mine as a fashion accessory. I know this is sin to many, but I don't tend to attach meaning to anything, really. I tend to view life as a random series of events to navigate within. So to me, my tattoos, if any, do not need to have real meaning. They could be abstract tiling and still get the job done.... i know.... bad.... ha ha ha

I here you. What i'd say is consider that fashion changes, will you be happy wearing the same fashion accessory every day, with every outfit, to every event, for the rest of your life?

 

Dunno, I guess to me I consider it more in the 'primal' sense, as in 'branding', branding your body in honour of something or as a way of showing who you are, where you stand.

I've very conflicted about tattoos to be honest.

 

I understand the appeal, the identity, the individuality, the expression, the artistic aspect, but I real do not like tattoos on women. There is a very nice girl at work who has two huge pistols sticking out of her top - I can only imagine where they go under her clothing - she will have those for ever, when she is suckling her kids… it's scary.

 

I actually feel nausea when I see them - just like with weird body piercings - again I get it, the rebelling, the cry for identity, individuality, but it just makes me want to throw up.

 

Sorry, I'm a very old man...
