Getting a tattoo is a way to express ourselves. Sometimes tattoos can serve as remembrance of departed loved ones or serve as a reminder of childhood memories of things we treasured. Also, tattoos are a very personal method for us to express our unique selves, whether it be via sketches or representation in our personalities or just our hobbies, like reading comic books or playing video games and watching anime that inspires us. Whatever motivates us like our favorite musicians or destinations we've visited and etc.
However, tattoos are highly contentious because some businesses and the corporate world do not accept them, which could harm your career. People will also perceive folks with tattoos as criminals. That's why I asked myself a lot before getting a tattoo. I'm fortunate that my employer accepts tattoos, and I know that soon, the whole corporate world will embrace them as well.
So I have a five minimal tattoos. The snake was my first minimal tattoo, and I'm not too fond of how it looks, that's why I'm planning to re-design or cover up it with other more professional artist. These are two more crucial factors that you should think about before getting a tattoo: first, is the design something you truly like, and second, is the tattoo artist qualified to do the work.
Given how frequently I get asked this question, I'm thinking that you might be wondering also why I decided to get a tattoo of a snake. I chose to get a snake tattooed for a variety of reasons, but above all, it's because it represents transition and rebirth. This tattoo serves as a constant reminder to me to change, to live my life to the fullest, and to stop looking at the past, through the perspective of a snake that will eventually lose its old skin to reveal its beautiful new one and leave the shedded skin behind.
The word in alibata, which is my second minimal tattoo, holds a special meaning for me. My life has been full with struggles with friends, family, work, and love. etc. This tattoo serves as a reminder that one day I'll be well and lead the greatest life possible.
My third tattoo has a really deep meaning that I can't really explain to you. But this is my favorite tattoo of all.
I had my fourth and fifth small tattoos recently with my friend, I think it's been three years ago since I had my last tattoo. That's why I'm scared and nervous again, and I forgot also the after-care of a newly done tattoo, it felt like i'm having my first tattoo again. Lol.
Before we begin, our tattoo artist talked about our designs and the process.
Unlike to my previous tattoos, this one hurt so much that it bled while it was getting done.
However, much like the other ones, these two minimalist tattoos are also quite meaningful to me and aren't just random designs I saw online.
Having a tattoo has a very great feeling for me. It hurts, but in an incredible way.

Yeah, I agree that having tattoos can totally mess up some careers. Deciding whether to get one or keep your career is a tough choice hahaha
I'd love to get one in the future! I've been considering getting one for a long time, but I'm too afraid and don't want to end up regretting the design 😅
How much time did it take you to make up your mind about the design?
Here in Argentina, most people have tattoos and it is seen as something normal, but obviously there will always be those who don't think it's the right thing to do.
The important thing is to respect others and let them live as they wish as long as it does not have a negative influence on those around them.
The stigma of tattoos is not only in companies, even in the family sometimes look with bad eyes the fact of getting one and the criticism will never be eradicated completely, but as long as the person who gets it is happy, why not do it?
I would have liked to see the tattoos you are talking about. Now I'm curious...
Welcome to this community, whenever you want to share your experiences or participate in one of our initiatives.
I agree. You have to be 100% sure about getting them, and also to be aware of what it implies. I am quite heavily tattooed but it doesn't have an impact on my career
Hello @nachtsecre welcome to tattoo world.!
All over the world there is still a lot of taboo about the stigma of tattoos, and the most surprising thing is that the tattoo is something as old as man. I am glad that your boss allows this art of tattoo drawing on the skin.
You left me with the desire to know your tattoos and I hope that little by little you will show them and tell the individual experience about them and their meaning.
Now there is an initiative in the community where you can give your opinion and we accept stock images that are free of copyright.
I leave it in case you want to participate, have a nice day.
