What a great thread....love the creativity, artistry and stories tattoos relate, but their permananence would be a problem for me. Hazeljane your tattoo is beautiful, and to so many of you, your tattoos are deeply meaningful and are marks of your life journey.
It is unfortunate, but true, most workplaces are intolerant of tattoos, and many talented and lovely people are denied work, relationships and community, based on the ink on their skin.
Will I ever get one....well, never say never....but highly unlikely....too wrinkled and scarred by life's journey to ever be a suitable canvas.
