Tatoo ideas

[Ryyy]

Been thinking recently of popping my tatoo cherry and getting a tat somewhere on my neck downwards..but I have read somewhere that it doesn't give out a good impression in terms of jobs etc! Is this true? Or is it just b.s?

So has anyone on here got any tats? If so, where? What design?

You could always get a tattoo. But seriously I think it depends on the line of work, none of mine are visable if I was wearing smart cloths for work

It's true tattoo on necks brand you it's something I would never have :(

[CJMackin]

Common sense will tell you although people are more open minded these days you wont always get interviewed by one of these open minded people. I keep mine so that they arent visible if i wore a propper shirt, although i like the look of neck tattoos i wont be getting one untill i am qualified enough that it wouldnt be a consideration when going for a job lol. Only thing is for interviews etc you could get the woman to cover it up with a blob of whatever her chosen face paint is, if you think it would hamper your chances of getting the job. You might need to go get one on your eyelid after though to feel manly after the makeup ;)

None of mine are visible, neck tattoos look pretty crap usually anyway due to the awkwardness of the shape of the neck. Plus as its your first tattoo you'll be able to see it all the time, so might be better off getting one somewhere more inconspicuous first and get used to the idea.

Personally I will only have tattoos that I can hide, because of my job it looks very unprofessional.. depends what job your in i think, but i wouldnt risk having them on show :y:

[wassy78]

Only time I will tattoo necks is if they have a few tattoos already . Never for there first :(

My Mrs has got a small tattoo on the top of her neck, visible with her hair up but when it's down you can't see it

I don't atm, I meant in the near future, providing I get this job..

Just a thought really..but maybe a neck tat for a first one would be bit silly.

I persoanlly like neck tattoo's but they do give off a very bad impression...

Same as hand tattoo's

[Saxotim]

Ill be getting one on my neck at some point this year. Doesnt matter in my work.

Will be getting my first on my forearm for my grandad.

[MiniGibbo]

What do you do for work Saxotim?

Maintenance engineer at a chocolate factory.

[leeham987]

depends on the line of work you're in or want to get in.

But i have tattoos on my arms and leg, they can easily be covered up.

[MiniGibbo]

Ill give you that one..

I always get it with labourers on site, they reckon they can get what they like as there only ever on site.. what they seem to look past is what im twenty years time they set up on there own and have to meet customers about jobs.

I want to get mine extended onto my hand but i know its a bad idea for work... but then should that matter :wacko:

what would you have on your hand?

it's sad that people are judged by tattoos really.

[MiniGibbo]

Yeah the little chinesse symbols on the neck or the "chezza cole" hand tattoo for girls are so cringe...


when i was talking to the guy who did mine he tried to talk me out of getting my hand done and said if he could turn back time hed never of got his neck/ back of the head and hands done :detective:

wouldnt mind getting my hand done, just to cover up some scars. to be honest the scars on my hand give of a bad impression, probably more so than if i had a tattoo. hmmm

Tattoo's 100% need some serious thaught though..

I remember being sat in the parlour and some mush walked in about forty covered in little shit tattoo's, looks up and goes..

"i want a tattoo"
"what do you want mate"
"dunno but i want a tattoo"

What a fucking bellend :wall:

yep, people say they can just be lazered of. Never can completely get rid of them.

All my tattoos mean something, i personally wouldn't just get one because it looks nice.

But they are addictive once you've had the one and realise it doen't hurt that much.

[MiniGibbo]

Dunno about that, my tattooist's best mate got a fitfty pence peice sized removed on his sleeve at a place in weymouth and it looks like normal skin..

different colours take more going over though, apparently black is the easiest to remove and red the hardest.

I work in a office if i turn up for a meeting with MUM tattoed on my neck would not go down well

I can actually see now why neck tats may be frowned upon..fair enough if you wear something in your current employment to cover it, but if you were applying for some fancy-admin job 5years later, turning up at the interview with that on your neck may give off a bad first impression..sad though, how people with tats are looked upon as being 'rough'...


Maybe one just below the collar-bone would be better? As I say it's just a thought, I would literally have to spend weeks thinking about what I want, as it would have to have a meaning..may be a dumb Q, but can you just draw your own personal design, walk in and ask for that?
