I have been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo on my shoulder, but it is fairly large (about 2 in x 4 in). My question is: I have a job where tattoos are not seen as professional by some and would like to know if there is an effective, sweat-proof, smudge-proof, cover-up, for this little indulgence. I wear a lot of short sleeve tops that will show it. Would like to test a few out. If it is not successful, then I just might put the tattoo somewhere else  |
If you're already thinking about covering it up, should you be getting one in the first place?
Before you decide, what if it doesn't come out right? Also consider that you might like it now but what about in 5 years time? What about when you're an old lady? |
My thought on tattoos is you only live once...no I might not want them in 40 years, but at least I enjoyed them for the 40 years.
Covering up is not because you want to cover it up, it's because your job is making you cover them up.
Besides...I'll be the coolest grandma with my ink...yeah baby!!! 
I feel life is too short to worry about how you are going to feel about something in 10, 15, 20 years. While I'm not an impulse-type person (I do have my 6 month rule) I feel that focusing on how I may or may not view tattoos in the coming years is pointless. What if I sit there wishing I had just done it "when I was young?" I can always get them removed. Removal is a huge painful process, but if I want it removed, I'll do it. After all...I sat through the pain once, I can do it again  |
