Do you think the tattoo will affect a job interview in the near future? How do you think it will look to women and employers when you’re 40 – assuming you plan to reach age 40, assuming you date women, and assuming you plan to still be working at age 40 (even if you’re self-employed, you will have judgmental customers)?

Ask 10 employed, successful (I didn’t say rich/wealthy, I said successful; you don’t have to be rich/wealthy in order to be successful) 40-year-old men if they think it’s a good idea. If any of them say yes, ask them to show you their full-arm sleeve tattoo that they got when they were your current age. If they don’t have one...

I wouldn't start off with an entire sleeve if I were you.

Woman here. In my 40s. White collar professional. Advanced degrees. Have tattoos. Love beautiful ink.

I think the OP will be fine.

I work in Corporate America. At least half my coworkers have at least 1 tattoo.

i'd say go for it, my first tattoo was a battleship across my chest with the phrase "born to lose" written beneath it.

I don't have a full arm sleeve but I heard from a friend pain level is about 5 or 6.

I want to get my first tattoo on my ankle but haven't decided yet. Good luck to you.

Further indication of our societal downfall. While mostly a Social Liberterian Progressive I do not like tattoos and if I was in a position of hiring employees, people with tattoos would have the most difficult time getting hired by me.

You should start small and put the tattoo on a part of your body that cannot be seen by anyone but you.
Some people have no idea how painful getting a tattoo really is and after the start of the first one they never return to get it finished.
