I would LOVE to get my hands and neck tattooed, but won’t until I’m financially independent (read: rich-ass mofo). Thus my tattoos are still in “carreer-friendly” locations: Half-sleeve on the right, a bitchin’ mural of cranes, trees, shadows, water, sunset, and grass, done by a fantastic artist that I get loads of compliments on literally daily – it commemorates my honeymoon. I also have the forearms done up with special things for special people, and a tramp stamp (which I got like 12 years ago) that means “Live for Opportunity”, and will be worked into a bigger back piece this summer…
They are addicting – at least for me – and mine have been thought-out for some time but usually crystalize in a moment of inspiration. Make sure your artist is someone who’s work takes your breath away – it’s worth every penny if it’s going to be on you for life.
