Small tattoo VS. big tattoo. Is there a difference?

Depending on where on your arm you put it, and whether you try to stay in some kind of shape in your elder age. I know plenty of elder men, even to their 80s who have incredible tats that still look good.

You like the art and feel it deserves the tribute of your body as a canvas then go for it. It will be in a place that can be covered for interviews if the need arises, and I personally feel that body art, especially tasteful and classic images like the koi or dragon art of the Japanese or Chinese traditional tats, are worth the investment.

Art is art, and with body art it changes over time with the subtle changes that occur with your body. I have a small tat myself and have invested in a long term commitment with an artist who is working out a full body tat for my back and left leg. Haven't finished the plan yet, but I have every intention of being a 90 year old woman with saggy skin and a full body dragon.

Nothing wrong with granny's in leather... or grandpa with an awesome tat.

Go for it!

if you are in a professional environment, which it sounds like you are, i wouldnt do it, even if you dont think they will people will judge you, think about if a guy in your office had an eyebrow ring or long hair, you would judge wouldnt you, well you will also be judged, get all the tatoos you want but make sure that when you are in shorts and a tshirt you CAN cover them up, they just dont look professional...why dont you wait like a year and if you still want it, then get it, it might just be a phase,i know i wanted a tongue ring for a while, but never got it, and thats a good thing cause i wouldnt want one now, and thats removeable, a tatoo is not

One big one, alot of small ones its all the same....

I have most of my arms covered with tattoo's, smaller tattoo's that make up alot of area on my arms... I dont bother covering them up because I work in the automotive field, so its more acceptable... but if you really enjoy the tattoo get it, if its something you really like, you can always cover it up with long sleeves.

as long as you can cover it up when going to interviews I don't see it being a problem. More and more employers aren't so concerned with that part of things anymore (though I know there are still some who are). Performing a job is more about ability that appearance in my opinion.

I have always preferred small tatoos but it's really a person preference. If it's something that can be covered when needed then I wouldn't worry about it.

nah dont get a whole arm one, its different to just having one smaller subtle one on your forearm

full-arm tats almost always look tacky, and you dont want to always have to wear long sleeve shirts

i think if you wanted to get a big one, have it on your torso, like back or something, so its easier to hide but you still have a big one :]

if it is something that your no worried about then it shouldnt matter. If you want to get a bigger tattoo then that is your choice, as long as your no worried about it affecting your job then i would go for it, loosing my job would be my only worry.

Yes there is a difference.

Look, do what you want, just don't get a bad looking tat.
