So are tattoos really addictive? Look around the NBA (Kenyon Martin), music industry (Soulja Boy) or even your apartment building (Random kid who idolizes Lil’ Wayne) and I am sure you will see some ridiculous tattoos on people. Let me think of the evolution of tattoos. It was once cool to have one on your bicep, i.e. a cross or a maybe a rose (for the ladies). Then there was the craze to have either barbed wire going around your upper arm or some type of Chinese writing somewhere. Nowadays you have to have at the minimum 3 tattoos, maybe a sleeve and one on the side of your neck of something spiritual.
Tattoos are a form of personal expression and I am all for it. The thing to remember is that when you have them in the professional world keep them covered. From interviews, to doing work at your cubicle, to company banquets, keep them under wraps. Even though your boss may be cool and lets you take an extra five minutes for lunch, uphold your professional image. Now in the heat of the summer for your company picnic, I am sure there is no other choice but to throw on a tank top and let the office see that you are somewhat of a rebel.
