Question for my Sly Brothers?????
GASlick:
I have three tatts that are in places that can be covered by a short sleeve shirt. It's just my preference. I tend to keep them up high. I like them and wear tank tops (or shirtless) frequently and don't mind if people see them.
I work in healthcare and sales, so I would stay away from anything down my arms. If I was a rock star or a tattoo artist that would be very different. I LOVE tatts. I love getting them and I love showing mine off. I feel that it depends on what you do, where you do it and HOW you do it.
I know guys with a full sleeves and it doesn't bother me one bit. I don't judge people by the outside. It's character, attitude and respect for others that influence my opinions.
champ007:
I have no tats myself, nothing against them but I don't think I could find something I would want to keep forever. My office actually has a policy that states they should not be visible in the office.
As for the sleeve tats and peoples reaction, don't think right off they are thinking your strange or something. It could be more curiousity as to what the designs are. I find myself checking peoples tats out of curiosity.
Then again there have been a few that have given me an impression of a person who I don't even know.
I think they should reflect something about yourself, artistic impressions are taught from grade school!

This is not a pretty picture. Why would any dude get a flower?
I see nothing wrong with a wrinkled anchor or one of those "chinese symbols".
The Anvil:
I have had full sleeves for a very long time and hardly ever had negative reactions untill I decided to cover my hands. (now I get looks all the time, and not good ones) I get the feeling that folks think I may be a racist or skinhead, I am not and it kinda blows to be looked at that way, but it is my life! My Mom made me promise I would not do my neck, and I will not because I respect her, but her church (pastor) has said some pretty lame things about tattoos, it makes me want to go with her on Sunday just to show them not everyone with ink is a gang banger!
Dome of Steele:
It depends on where ya live.
I've spent some time in Austin, TX; and tattoos there are very popular in all parts of society.
My waiters/waitresses often have sleeves. When I went swimming with lawyers and accountants I saw alot of ink.
When I go back and visit my parents in my small town it's a different story. I was working out at my old fitness center and the only positive comment I heard was "at least you can cover that up with a shirt."
I say do whatever you want to.
