Bhobs Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have been debating wether or not to get a half sleeve done lol. I want something colorful and pretty ...what are you thoughts on woman having sleeves? Just curious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 eh...i like when girls have tats, but i havent been a fan of many sleeves of any size that is, except for the "oh look, cupcakes" chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 In MY opinion, it is not professional. You WILL be limited in career choices, on first impression alone. If your career is ink friendly, go for it! However, if it is something you can always cover up (long sleeves), and you are okay with it, go for it! KillJoy PS - Pics once you get it!

Kevin R. Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I just can't help but thinking, while it might be hot now, when you are 50+ it might just look kind of odd. This seems to be different for old men -- but would be weird if my grandma had a sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Im a girl, and definitely a big fan of tats (I have 6 so far..) And I think a half sleeve would look awesome on you!!! You are really pretty, so i'd definitely go with something girly & cute.. I hate when pretty girls have ugly tattoos :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1veryfastvr4 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 from your pics, your a pretty chick, your hubby should be proud but i think there is a point of over doing it on the sleeves tho......kinda like your pretty now, sleeves arent gonna change that but its your body dont let anyone else choose for you if you do get them post em up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 The thing I don't quite understand about people that get tats is that they never think about what they are going to look like when they are much older. I once told a friend who got a Jesus fish on her foot "what are you going to do in 20 years when that Jesus fish is suddenly a Jesus whale"? It has nothing to do with the religious symbolism, but I feel like people don't think things through. So no, I don't think its a good idea. You may feel that you work for a place that doesn't care, but have you thought about what would happen if you would lose that job? Just food for thought.

timmy43016 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 girls with sleeves are awesome if they are done right. dont be scared about the career choices comment..although true, but a professional atmosphere would have you wearing professional clothing that will cover it. my fiance is getting a half sleeve and i have a sleeve as well. we both work at cardinal and its not a big deal. i think i saw you at hell city...

TTQ B4U Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well I work in a professional place but for some reason they are cool with tats and piercings lol so idk ha Fast forward to the next job though. Love Tats and you have a great look, but I wouldn't go overboard. Keep it tasteful and share enough to get the mind of the onlooker thinking but nothing more. Just my thoughts.

KillJoy PS - Pics once you get it! +1 my vote is no, plain and simple. sure, your current job is tatoo friendly, but that may not always be the case. a couple tatoos here and there---fine. a whole arm completely covered with tatoos makes you hard to take serious--right or wrong, its fact.

Danielle Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I absolutely love my tattoos, and so far all but one of them I wont even be able to see in 20 years. All of mine are easy to cover up for work, and I think a half sleeve would be easy as well. Tattoos are becoming more and more accepted in the workplace, I think.
