I'm scared to get them cause I'm scared of losing job opportunities or being forced to wear long sleeves or whatnot, but I really want to get them. It preoccupies my mind a lot and it would help me out in some ways.

I'd be getting them around my arm on my upper bicep

We're literally 40 days from 2019, imagine worrying about tattoos and employment at this point.

Unless your going for a mega high paying CEO/Govt. job, and even then, who would see it under your suit?

Do it.

Times are changing, people care less and less about tattoos in all fields because more and more people have them and/or realize that there is nothing wrong with having tattoos and they don't matter, especially not compared to someone's ability to do their job.

I got my first one this year, it wound up on my upper arm because it just fit/looked better there, and the bottom of it is visible only with my shortest sleeves. But my next one is going right below it.

This seems like a snarky curiosity as opposed to a genuine one. Regardless, it's cause I was in a bad place, and some stuff helped me get out of it, so I kind of want to get one just to reinforce the notion of not going there again with a nice visual reminder. To not get so trapped in bad thoughts. I'm better at noticing it now and have been getting better, but it would be cool to have one beyond the aesthetic.

You won't miss job opportunities, and if it's on your upper arm then you should be able to cover them up easily enough anyway.

What kind of tattoo you talking about? Butterflies, skulls, Metallica, Pokmon...

Couldn't you do shoulder? It wouldn't be visible even wearing a half sleeve shirt then

But yeah, it's 2018, as long as the tattoo isn't too crazy and to visible, you should be fine, get it

As someone getting into social work, I'd agree. As long as you are able to 'present' yourself as professional and the tattoos are not racist/offensive/etc, youll be fine.

I mean, on one hand, tattoos are not NEARLY as socially taboo as they used to be in the past and you could still get a job with a visible tattoo. On the other hand, it'd always be visible so you'd have to deal with that. You do what you think is right though.

I have a decently large sugar skull on my upper arm/shoulder. it's only visible if I wear a tank (and the only time I did that at work was halloween lol)

I work at a tech startup tho and plenty of people have tattoos so ymmv, but in your line I dont think it should matter

I have forearm tattoos and never had a problem getting a job.

The dude that manages my whole department has a sleeve. Its super common here but I am in CA.

If you wouldn't want to cover them and you know it can affect your career it's really up to you. Do you feel like having a tattoo in a place you can't/wont cover worth sacrificing opportunities

Do it. Honestly I had the same apprehension before I got my first forearm tat but I don't regret it 4 years later. As said, times are changing. Our generation and gen x really don't give a fuck since we've all grown up when tattoos lost their taboo.

This. I have a really big tat on each forearm and they've not been an issue yet. Legit the only negatives I've heard about them is a couple older people telling me I've ruined my career prospects. Sorry, Mildred, but we ain't back in your day anymore.
