I can remember getting my first tats. I got my first tats on my arm when I was 18. I was just starting college and although I don't regret the decision I definitely can see how they sometimes can cause you problems in the future. For example this story may be comical that I am about to tell but it is true.
I remember moving back to Atlanta after doing about 3 years of college and looking for a job. Well lets just say finding a job was never the problem even though I had tat's because I knew how to dress in a suit where they couldn't see them on my arms. Well the job I did land at the time was a pre-school assistant teacher. I was real cool with that at first because I do like working with kids. But you have to remember I am from Atlanta and the summer's are hot and brutal for real. The humidity feels like you are walking outside with a damp hot towel wrapped around your body. In short I remember my first day I wore a short sleeve short and the director of the school saw my tats. She kindly called me into her office and said the parents may have an issue with your tatoo's so I'm going to need you to wear long sleeves to work from now on.
On that note can you imagine how hot I was outside in the sun when it was play time for those kids. That was the most brutal sweaty 94 and up summer I ever had. Running around chasing little kids in the hot summer in a long sleeve shirt. All I can say is if you going to work in the mall maybe they want care if you got tats but if you trying to be corporate don't expect them to just give you six figure salary when you got pookie name tatteed up on your neck?
