I have a few now... and plan to get a half sleeve soon.

A good tip on keeping them looking nice for a long period of time: Everytime you shower, go swimming, or get it wet.. put baby oil on it afterward. I met a 70 year old man with a full sleeve.. that told me that.. and his sleeve was seriously almost perfect.

Is a "half sleeve" where half your entire arm is covered in a tattoo? What are you going to do when you go for an interview for a teaching position when it is hot in Florida?

Many of my fraternity brothers got them back in college and are professionals now and regret it. I think some tattoos look good for certain situations. For example, I like the barbed wire tattoo that Pamela Anderson has. I also think that tattoos that are generally hidden most of the time (like small discrete ones under the belt line) can look good on girls. However, I would not recommend anything that could not easily be concealled in important situations. Many people think they are trashy and, no matter what you think of those people, there is no benefit in sending that signal when you don't want to.

K. I get that a lot. Many of my teachers in high school had tattoos. One even had 2 full sleeves. And I went to the #7 school in America. It's not as big of deal as it used to be. People are finally accepting them.

BTW: I am a part time teacher now, and NO ONE has ever judged me for it. I had my tattoos when I got the job, and they were showing. I actually get tons of compliments on it, and my kindergarten kids love it.
