      @jerkules great work! Very nicely executed. Are those both on the same arm?

        @meatmarketdenim1 nice man! My new school is super lax with the tattoo culture. I’ve mentioned to my wife getting my hands done. She loves tats. For some reason she hates the hands though. How rebellious am I feeling? That’s the question.

          @Mizmazzle I want to do my hands eventually. I work from home for now. But, not sure how they’d react if I showed up to our once a year all team meeting with my mitts done.

            @Mizmazzle hmmm that’s tricky, they say happy wife happy life lol. But I’m sure she would be stoked on them if saw how much you loved it. My wife is heavily tattooed as well. Does your wife have any?

              @meatmarketdenim1 yup! My wife has quite a few herself. She would probably be fine with it if she knew it was important to me. But like you said…happy wife! Im not really sure I’m ready for that myself to be honest. But I do dig hand tats.

                  @Mizmazzle @alexxedge @meatmarketdenim1 hand tattoos change a dude that's fer sure. After I got my hands, neck, head and face done, folks started saying, "I like your tattoos," to me even when I had long sleeves and pants on. It was confusing at first because I would only get comments when I had more skin showing before all that, haha.

                      Lol funnily enough, I have gotten a few raises at work following my visible tattooed areas. Not connected of course, but this day and age is different than 10-15 years ago. Tattoos used to be a much bigger deal as "job stoppers". Two of my principals have visible tattoos on their forearms and always get excited to show me their new ones.

                        @Oaktavia completely agree. My director is constantly asking for picture updated if my back in our 1:1s. Glad to see workplaces adapt to the idea that tattoos don’t matter for work.

                          @alexxedge for sure man. I actually get a bit relieved when I see other teachers and staff with tattoos, especially over the last five years or so. Don't get me wrong, I love being heavily tattooed, but I didn't always like being the only one. Last year, a new teacher's fun fact about themselves they shared at our back to work meeting was that she had 20 tattoos. It's nice when it's less surprising for folks to see my ink these days. Although I know I'll be answering the same questions about my tattoos over and over again. That does not go away.

                            @Oaktavia I love being tattooed. But, as someone that does not like a lot of attention, I find myself in long sleeves and pants a lot more. It is definitely comforting when there are others around.

                              Same same. My new principal has a full sleeve. When I was interviewing I had my arms covered. But I saw his. Then I mentioned at some point after I’d been hired that I was traveling to Vietnam over summer and going to get a dragon tattoo. He still hadn’t seen my arms yet. Once the new school year started and it was too hot to wear long sleeves I showed up in a tee shirt. He was a little shocked too see I had so many tattoos but only because he didn’t realize I did when interviewing. First thing he asked was to see my new dragon. It feels great to be excepted for who we are.

                              There are several teachers in the school with tats, but none have as many as me. Students who don’t know my name yet refer to me as the “tattoo guy!” Haha.

But my chest now Is a bear vs a wolf with like big yellow/orange moon comes up to little past my shirt line on neck. But The sternum and around nipples was not that fun

                                      So not as intricate as some of the tatoos here, but my latest one - I found an old drawing of a monster my son did in the loft (he was about 4 at the time - he's 29 now)!
