The place is nice, though if I got a tattoo, and for years I did indeed want one, I would get it somewhere on the small of my back, or right next to my hipbone, in the front. My reasoning? It's MUCH easier to hide when you go for a job, and a LOT of places will not hire you because there is some fucking stupid stigma attatched to tattoos, and people who get them. Supposedly it's lower class, and look really unprofessional...and people don't want to hire someone, if you are looking at a profession where "business is best"..like..
Okay. The people who work the camera crew at the station have tattoos, and visible ones! The reporters, and anchors, do not, and if you do, it stays covered up. (I noticed Katie's on the small of her back last night) So in a more public position where professionalism, or at least the illusion of it, is key...
You get what I am trying to say, which is...think long and hard about the career path you may choose, and THEN think about a place.
Now, as to why I will likely never get a tattoo--if I get sick of a piercing, I can take it out, and at the worst, be left with a scar. Eventually the piercing would close. I couldn't do that with a tattoo.
I'm not telling you whether or not you should get it, in fact--I do support it if it is something you truly want! ^.^ I'm only offering some food for thought, ne?
Happy thinking! ^.^ Yes, I think Infinity in...umm...latin, or OOH, how about something obscure, yet pretty, like...Elvish? You can find Sindarin, Noldorian, and High Elvish, (also called the Grey Tongue, I think) translator thingys online...and it looks so pretty. All swirly, scrolly, elegant.. Where the fuck I pulled the names for those languages from--I don't know. But they have other various Middle Earth langues too. There you go--my thoughts!
