I have two, one is two stars intersecting on my shoulder and the other is flame looking energy thing, was custom done and goes from my shoulder up and across my upper back
There is never a reason to get a tattoo removed in my opinion. It should stand as a reminder of who you were and where you came from. Even if I hated my tatts I wouldn't have them removed or covered just because I deserve whatever memory is attached to that tat.

I really don't like the idea of engraving shit on your body at all nor can I see any attraction to the idea.

The forearm isn't some place you want to start with tattoos unless you don't mind every one seeing it. I have a tat on my forearm and I wear short sleeves 90% of the time. It's my USMC one though, and I don't really mind if potential employers or people in general know/knew that I serve(d).
Upper arms, back, chest, and shoulders are generally kept covered up. Keep in mind you can't expose the tattoo to the sun for the first few weeks of recovery. Forearm tats are difficult to keep covered if you're like me. I got mine done during cold SOP, and the tat didn't see the sun for months.
Good luck with it.
Well, after working in a tattoo shop for 3 years and accruing 13 including a full back piece and some pretty intricate work I could give you some advice on them if you really want it. A few major points:
Avoid cheesy pop symbols - you never know if you'll like Tweety bird or playboy down the road and it just looks white trash when you are 40 walking around with cartoons on you.
Avoid bf/gf names: removal is just much more expensive than tattoos themselves and if you aren't married, or even if you are - man, you just never know. We've had more people come into the shop to cover names up than absolutely anything else.
Don't pick out flash on the wall - get your own piece designed. Everyone has those pictures on the wall that has no taste and doesn't realize 1,000 people have the same tattoo because flash is sold country wide by producers, not just to one tattoo shop. Custom work is usually more expensive if the tattoo shop doesn't just have a flat hourly rate, but you'll be MUCH happier with it in the long run.
No band symbols or names - big mistake.
If you are a professional avoid tattoos in places that may affect your job.
*** Everyone has that stupid celtic arm band - be original please, us ladies do not all think its hot, its incredibly unoriginal for expensive artwork (celtic knotwork = terribly expensive tattoos) and btw - the underarm is one of the worst places to get a tattoo in the first place.
Really when you get a tattoo its on you forever so get something thats meaningful, that nobody else has on their body, and isn't cheesy white trash, I think I'm a porn star or a member of Megadeath garbage and you should be ok.
Remember finally that everyone's answer to not getting a tattoo is that you'll hate it when you hit 80. If you live to 80 congrats in the first place but just remember, if you're going to get one, and you're going to hate it, at least know that its original and not something you went out and got when you were wasted (tattoo shops that are reputable won't get ya when you are drunk anyways or you'll bleed out) or because your friends thought it was a good idea.
I have a lot of tattoos, never considered getting one removed. Its all about thinking things out, knowing what is important to you in life (REALLY important - not a love for Bugs Bunny) and keep in mind good ones cost $$$$, they are there forever, and if its big - may take more than 1 sitting. Research your tattoo, research the shop, and don't listen to what people TELL you to get, think of what you like, talk to the artist, and have him/her draw something for you.

DO NOT TAN WITH TATTOOS - in the sun, use lots of sunscreen on it and go crazy, do not use indoor tanning beds. You will not see immediate problems with your tattoo but eventually the black will look greyish and the colors will start to kinda blend - plus everything fades to shit. Use sunscreen outdoors like I said though and you'll be fine there. Same with in the pool, make sure it has sunscreen on it.LeeJunFan said:
