I was just wondering where I should get my tattoo. I've lived with the idea of the tattoo for years now and I'm sure I want to get it. The problem is that I'm going to school to be in a very professional field(medicine/medical research).

I want to get four lines, and these are my placement options

1- On my right arm, two lines above the elbow, two lines below

2- Two lines on my right upper arm, two lines on the left upper arm

3- All four lines on my right leg below the knee


I would like the first option the best, but I'm concerned about how this will come across in the professional world. However, I would be wearing a white lab coat for my job, so I think I would still be able to cover it up.

What do you think?

I think you should go for 3 :)

No one can really tell you what is best for you when it comes to tattoos. I was also thinking #1 though. That would be pretty sick. What do they mean? Pain wise, the upper arm will hurt the least, the leg the second least, and around the elbow the most. Tattoos are so prevalent today that I don't think you will have too much of an issue, so get it where you want it.

Well, because of your profession... it is best to get it where it can't be seen in the uniform you will be wearing.

I am in a very professional career as well. All my tattos are in places that can be covered if needed.
