Got one planned down the road in stages for my entire back. taz sitting on a moto, holding up the world while flipping someone off with his exposed finger

Got a couple small ones, one on my left arm, one on my left leg. Both glow in the dark--the artist used UV reactive ink, but about a year later they just started glowing in the dark. Freaked me out a bit the first time I noticed it.

The arm (means truth/justice, you can see the UV ink above and to the left of the black ink):



Under a black light (this was before I got the black ink added):



And the leg stuff (the star glows in the dark):

Whats the leg tattoo mean if you don't mind me asking

[RossLH]

The letters on the top are the fraternity (Phi Gamma Delta), chapter (Alpha Gamma), and class (Kappa). The lettering on the banner is Greek that roughly translates to "friendship, the sweetest influence".

I personally detest tattoos, especially on girls. 

Try to get a good job with a tattoo on your neck, or all tatted up down your arms.  I work in a professional environment.  Not a single person has a tattoo.  Get tatted up, deal with the consequences... right, wrong or indifferent...

[RossLH]

Depends on the workplace. I've worked in a professional environment in which one of the highest paid engineers not only had full sleeves on both arms, but rolled his shirt up to his shoulders every day of the week.

That said, I won't get a tattoo that can't be covered by business casual clothing. After working at a job for 2 and a half years, none of my coworkers knew I had any tattoos.

at 20 years old i have 7 tattoos, full sleeve and some other odds and ends stuff. memory tattoo for my grandpa, and i have a snowmobile doing a back flip and it says "whats the point of tip toeing through life only to arrive safely at death" probably one of my favorite ones. tattoos are kind of a big thing in my family, we enjoy being covered and all have good jobs. seems like with the younger generation, tattoos are a big thing.

They are becoming more and more acceptable in society. I think John is just showing his age.

I love a woman with tasteful and well did ink. Cheap ink I can'tstand. I have my own fair share of tats. I will get more. I've never had a problem getting a job but then again, my education, resume, creditials and employment history speak for themselves. My last job was with Proctor and Gamble where I did both their computer/intranet support as well as Process Safety and Industrial Hygiene and that was a 60K job. Now granted we worked in a manufacturing facility and not in the public eye so that may make the difference but again, I've never had an issue working with tats.
