Eh, I was hired at the BEST job I've ever had and accidentally flashed my tattoos in the interview. My boss actually likes my tattoos and thinks they're interesting... and I work with very very wealthy clients on a daily basis. I've never regretted getting any of my tattoos done.

That's a cool story, JetJockey. It's nice to see bosses that are so progressive.

I love my tattoo and have never regretted it either.

When I was young and worked at the best place I have ever worked, I was close to the owner and manager, and I got my tattoo when I was working with them. They were fine with it. It was when I worked at a high end mens clothing store too. No one cared. I dressed CEO's....hell, I had the CEO of EA Sports in there regularly.....

Yep! We fly all kinds of CEOs, celebrities and whatnots around on our private jets and I have yet to meet one person who has even looked at me funny because of my rather large tattoos. My doctor is covered in tattoos too

Personally I think tattoos are beautiful its like turning your body into your own personal scrapbook, all i ever heard from my parents were your gonna regret it later. I consider and reconsider everything i do to my body. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. You can either blend in or stand out make a choice.

My brother had some done while in high school and beyond, and he regrets them all now. His life is entirely different than it was and he wishes he could afford the laser treatments to remove them. Some are tiny, like the initials of his old band on his thigh, and some are huge, like the huge jungle theme on his entire other thigh, nothing gory, just not him anymore. He is also a mechanic, so he doesn't dislike them because of work intolerance or anthing.

My husband wants to get a tattoo...and probably will, of the American flag, or a Maltese cross, most likely on his upper arm. I don't care if he gets one or not, as long as he gets it done at a safe place.

For me, I just don't get the appeal. It's like a piece of jewelry you can never take off. Back in college, I really liked heart shaped jewelry. Now I hate heart shaped jewelry. What if I had a whole bunch of hearts tattooed on me? Yuck. I'd be stuck with them. I also can't stand the tattoos called "tramp stamps"...it's hard to see a tattoo on a woman's lower back and not think of that term...so why would a woman want one and get herself labelled that way? I know it's a stereotype, but still...I hope my daughter doesn't want one in another few years.
