Hey Victoria,

Getting a tattoo that is exposed is a challenging experience the first time. When I first started, I was afraid to wear my earrings, let alone show a tattoo. But a few years later, I am tatted from my wrist to shoulder I would tell you, that in the current climate of education (and society, in general) a tattoo is low on the radar of contemporary life. So, I would say go for it! I would advice to probably “dress professional” (for whatever that means) when you go in for an interview, but beyond that, I do not think that you will face much backlash. And even if you do, that is a time for you do educate people on aesthetics, professionalism, and individuality.

Thanks, Doug. Great to hear that others out there experience the same thing inside the profession.
