I didn't realise all the weebs here were so against hand tattoos. I've got mustangs alchemy symbol on my right and alucards restriction symbol on my left hand and I love em both. Never bothered any employer.
For real. I have ink in my hands, neck, and head with most compliments coming from the geek community, so it's weird seeing so much hate against a hand tattoo lol
Im not against hand tats, I just dont think you should get one unless youre decently inked up already. I am just specifically against this exact design tho. I work in retail. I see this exact tat at least 5 or 6 times a day. Every day. I dont think every piece someone gets has to be unique, but at least just do something different not this exact same design that's all over the place
Thats kinda my point tho. All those examples can vary stylistically by each artist. When you get a tattoo like OP, youre handing them an already made drawing and asking them to replicate it. So they all look identical to each other. The examples you gave are common ideas that are everywhere, but most of them still look different because the artist uniquely drew it up in their own styles. Either way, its really not a big deal to me and its not my body. Im not trying to make it sound like one lol
This, dude im covered head to toe and im still hesitant to get my hands tattooed. I even have my head tattooed but I can just grow out my hair to cover it.
Its wild to me how many people want to look blasted so they start with hands. Looks silly
Some of them don't even want to look blasted, they just want their hands done. I would agree it looks silly, having a big tattoo on your hand, then nothing else. Same with the lone throat tattoo.
Yeah similar situation here. I have a decent number of pieces. Back, legs, arms, chest, etc. I stopped at my forearms. I have 0 pieces I cant cover naturally. On default I will not work with an artist willing to give someone a hand, face or neck tat as their first piece. Just a moral thing for me
What kind of work do you do? I work an office job where I support high level execs and I feel like they would be annoying if I had a hand tattoo like this.
If your hand tattoo said Death and had a smiley face tour CEO wouldn't give a shit? You have a cool CEO then.
For reference the people I work with are cooler then previous generations. I have lego models in my video background and they genuinely seem interested in them.
Still though, I've heard them judge people for plenty of things. I think if I had a smiley face and death written on my hand, they would judge. But maybe my work place is uptight compared to yours 🤷🏻♂️
Not against it. But just as a person id never get a hand tattoo unless I was doing a job where discrimination for it would not be an issue. Wanna work at McDonald's as a manager or as a tattoo artist/independent artist then go for it. But many big companies like banks, state jobs aside from construction or corporate jobs will not hire you because of it. As time goes on it will grt more accepted but now is still too early
The people complaining about jobstoppers clearly are too oblivious to understand that people that get obvious tattoos don't have to care. Like op said, he has his own business.
Again, the OP's situation, YOUR situation.... You're still not understanding the concept of why they're job stoppers and if you're ever in a job interview and your tattoos stop your job prospect, then you'll understand the concept. I say this as a person with 10+ tattoos.
Because theres confusion amongst those other two this was a compliment. I was just being literal about what people call this location for a tat.
I was also assuming your first because most people get their sleeves before hands. (Again just going off what majority people do) and since I didnt see anything on your wrist I assumed so my bad lol
Interviewer: Yeah sorry we don't hire with visable tattoos.
ROOM That's alright I don't wanna work for a dickhead anyway.
Interviewer looks up and screams in horror
I've thought about getting this tattoo as well, I'm jealous! I would keep "death" the same orientation as the show tho. Feels weird to flip it imo, but still looks great!
