      Yeah, I really can't get away with full sleeves with my job, plus I'm looking forward to the shock value.

      I come across as a straight laced guy, I'm sure I'll raise a couple eyebrows with two sleeve tats

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        Didn't post pics of my arm tats yet beats, those will be up next.

        Doug, I've worn long sleeves here at work for the last 11 years…Everyone has seen my tats and a lot of my
        co-workers have them too. Hospital policy is that we can't have them visible. I look pretty straight laced in
        my scrubs but if I came in here looking the way I do on weekends they'd call the police...! 😉 😉 😉

        Keep me posted on your co-workers reaction, you'll probably have to pry their eyebrows off the ceiling with
        a crow bar!

          Ha, I'm the opposite.
          I'm a tattooer and wear short sleeves at work all day and tend to cover up the minute I leave and go out in public (rarely ever wear short sleeves out in the world)…
          I like blending in during my off time and not being the "tattoo guy".

          I'd rather get comlipimented on my nice IH shirts rather than my "tats"...

            My problem is that unless I'm wearing a jacket, I always have my sleeves rolled up. I've been doing that as long as I can remember

              Right on Katsushin, I pretty much only wear short sleeves during the summer so I'm covered up the majority of
              the time. Here in LA everyone is tattooed so I only get the rare compliment on my work, instead it's " Hey, where
              did you get those jeans?! "  🙂

                Same for me at work Doug, I'm a sleeve roller. As long as I'm not in the patient care areas I can get away with
                it, until the director walks in…!

                      No kidding Geo! 😉 Power to you Doug, our director is actually pretty cool. She doesn't like tattoos but when I do
                      see her she always asks me if I have gotten any new one and wants to see them… 😉

                        It's healed and I'm very happy with it! I'll meet with the Artist tomorrow, maybe I'll ask for another appointment.  😘 (hope you don't get snowblind. F*ck winter)

                                        the book makes good reading,It tells the story of her own and shares her experiences of tattooing on different people.

                                            Added another tattoo to my left arm. It was part of a Tattoos for Japan fundraiser at my artists shop, Archive Tattoo in Toronto.

                                            This is the three pages of flash they made for the event. You had to choose one of these images for the attoo to keep things moving along quickly. They normally only do custom work by appointment only. David Glantz, the owner and a friend, designed the planes just for me. I plan on doing the rest of my arm in WW1 and WW2 planes… I was the only person that got something specifically designed for me.
