I have openly visible tattoos, so for me it’s a no brainer. I know people put jobs into consideration, but since mine are on my arms and neck, they can be hidden.
The only issue I’ve ever had is being asked to cover my tattoos, having told them about them from the start. It just means wearing long sleeves. I still plan on getting more on my arms.
It’s always good to be upfront about this sort of thing, so the work place can tell you their policy. My wrist tattoo’s go unseen usually and I have to inform the employer about it. I also go with my lip ring in, so they know ahead of time that it’s there and they can tell me to either take it out or allow me to keep it in.
Also, I’m thinking the pain will be mainly from vibration and not the needle itself. My neck tattoo barely hurt, it was the position I had to sit in (with my neck bent) for like, twenty minutes that was most bothersome. And it sort of vibrates on your skull. Not necessarily painful. That was my second tattoo as well.
Good luck! I think it’ll look super cute on you!
