I'll decide for you. DON'T DO IT!! It's permanent. My youngest daughter got one 5 years ago and wishes that she didn't. If you put it in a conspicuous place, it could hurt your chances at lots of jobs. Business owners are not kids and many look negatively upon young people with tatoos. They feel that you would be representing their business in a negative way. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.

jmgg, um, LOL, thanks for concern. I'm 46 yrs. old and already have 1 tat in an inconspicuous place. But I share the same sentiments as you with my own daughter. I told her the same thing, for job reasons, do not put it in a place that you can't cover it up. In fact, we're planning to go get tat's together, she's on her first, I'm on my second. :-)

I would suggest not getting a tat. It's looked at as low class and most hiring managers will pass you up if it's visible. If you are a girl; the lower back tat is known as a sluts mark.
