Tattoo? - July 5th 2012, 09:05 PM

Hi there

I'm considering getting a tattoo... A little-ish one on the side of my wrist, if that makes sense. I want it to mean something though....I found in my recovery of various different things that I found 'hope' really helpful and my faith and butterflies... Does anyone have any ideas on what tattoo I could have?! ( I'm aware I will obv make the final decision but i'm just looking for suggestions at the moment )

Also, does anyone who has a tattoo regret having it? How much is a good price to pay? Also i'm looking into going into teaching/youth work/social work/something like that - will a tattoo affect this?

Any thoughts are appreciated!




You have to have the negative things in life
to be able to appreciate the positives.

I have a two tattoos on my wrists; one says believe, the other says hope. I paid $40 for the two of them (I'm not sure of the conversion) which is pretty inexpensive. There is a symbol for hope that I think would look really nice on the side of the wrist, so maybe you could do that - or a simple butterfly or cross (I'm assuming that's what you mean by faith).

I don't regret my tattoos. I've had interviews for jobs but they've never once said a thing about my tattoos. I think that if they are clean and appropriate, it won't bring about any harsh feelings that'll prevent you from getting a job. I am planning on going into teaching as well, so I'm hoping that my tattoos don't prevent me from pursuing that type of career. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. All in all, it depends on the employer. Some will make due with tattoos and others won't have them.

I hope that you find something you like.

I have 5 tattoos and haven't regretted any of them. They were all around $40. If its relatively small, then I don't think it will be looked down upon, however it will differ from the company.
I think a butterfly that says hope beneath it would look really pretty.


And here you are living, despite it all.
