Been thinking about getting some more done and I’m pretty sure I know what I want to do next.
I’m just wondering if people still think hand/knuckle tattooes are still a bit taboo?
Society’s opinion has come a long way on tattoos as a whole but are certain body areas still not quite there? |

Depends on what you do for a living. |

Agreed, although I do find it odd though, a brain surgeons sleeve tattoo or hand tattoo doesn’t effect his ability to save your life. |

I’m thinking of a skull mask on my left hand this time.
It makes no difference to me where a tattoo is, but a friend of mine who has a 3/4 sleeve wouldn’t go down onto their hands... |

True. He's also easily employable. |

I work in a school they have no issues about piercings but my wrist tattoo needs to be covered... wouldn’t have thought a black widow spider was that intrusive..... no explanation just would prefer if visable tatts could be covered  |

It shouldn't matter at all - but you are correct in that many employers still frown upon tatoos in vertain visible places. Your choice but you are wise enough to know the possible consequences and restrictions |

I think they are still taboo and personally as much as I love them it would really not go down well at work so as others have said it depends what you do for a living and what you think the impact would be |

I’m lucky that nobody bats an eyelid where I work 
The only restrictions are the usual things health & safety wise regarding piercings etc |

A girl at work has got several hand tattoos and no one bats an eyelid, over the years she's had a number of customer facing jobs and never had a problem and now in the civil service it's quite normal to see tattoos and piercings on a daily basis, including one man that has loads of face piercings.

Isn't it agony on hands? Rather you than me. |

Love men covered in them 
I understand your point on society and the taboo though and I find it ridiculous. If someone were in a car accident and the paramedic on the scene had a couple of sleeves, I’m not sure anyone would be saying “no, wait, stop! I see you have tattoos, I will wait for the next ambulance”. |

I absolutely love them but yes, visible tattoos in certain areas are still taboo.
In my current job they are (wrongly but often) looked down upon - they are seen as not fitting the certain image the industry wants to portray. |

My gynaecological surgeon had a full sleeve tattoo and that was 20 years ago, very much frowned upon then but he saved my life.
Personally I love a good tattoo. |

all depends on which country you live in,
in some society's its a way of life past down from generation to generation (Hawaii)
I have a close neighbour who is high up in banking, used to boast that he would not employ anyone with a tattoo
guess what, his son rebelled, got tattoo's and left home as soon as he could.
If you are getting a tattoo, do it for yourself, your choice, your design, don't give 2 F*cks about anyone else |
