To tattoo or not a sly thing?
shaved:
I dont have any tats, but many ask me if i have as i have a shaved head and they think i must have a tat somewhere,
I think it is up to the individual if they want tats or not, and i think a tat should have some meaning to the person that gets it done.
I think they are good on some people, but i never decided to have any done.
I went with my daughter to a tatooist as she wanted another one done , she has 5, And hair. Yes been out done by my youngest daugther, But she likes them and all have meanings to her.
And the tatoo guy straight away asked what tat i wanted done, and was surprised when i said i have none , He couldn`t believe it as he assumed i would have some as i had a shaved head, He tried to convince me to get one, But no way was i going to get one done.
But if you feel good about getting one go for it. And you can cover it with at shirt if you want to hide it for employment reasons etc

The one and only thing in this physical world that you will ever truly own 100% is your physical body. Any and all decisions to be made on the appearance of your body are yours and yours alone to make.
Other people, from strangers to coworkers, friends to family members are all entitled to their opinions. And if you so choose, to sharing those opinions with you. What you do with those opinions is up to you.
Ultimately, the only person who has to live in your skin is you. The only person who can make the final decision as to whether or not you want to wear ink, is you.
I got my first tattoo at 25. The tattoo's started before the head shaving, but they definitely compliment one another. Today, ten years later my arms are pretty well covered in ink, I'm looking at doing the back of my right hand and I have other pieces planned with my artist. I like me better this way. I listened carefully to my family and friends before getting the first one, and then about how far to go (staying above shirtsleeve level or not, I chose not) with my tattoos because I love and trust them. But the final choices are always mine. I am the one who has to live with the results of my choices regarding my appearance.
I personally find that I feel better and better with each one I get. It's not for everyone, but it is definitely for me.
I don't know if that helps at all. But remember the immortal words of William Shakespeare "This above all: to thine own self be true"
Best of luck.

if yes...do it! O0
Just don't mark up your sly dome with tats...keep it lookin' clean! ;)
