My current job as a cafe server allows you to have visable tattoos even though the four I have are not visable anyways. I've been trying to figure out what kind of work I want to do and my family keeps telling me visable tattoos will make employers not want to hire me. Careers I am interested in going into include medical, working with animals, culinary, and possibly computers.

I would like to have more tattoos. More elaborate ones than those I have now. Right now I have a Wadjet eye on my right ankle, a cat on my left ankle, a dragon on the inside of my left ankle and an equal sign on my back, just below my neck.

I am considering many other tattoos, one I am certain I want. I want a large backpiece that is a dragon clinging to my back. It is my reward to myself once I lose the weight I want to lose. I would love to have tats on my arms and legs as well.

Would employers really not hire me because of some tattoos? Especially in the fields I want to work in? And these would not be offensive tattoos. We are talking artistic, meaningful designs.

Sometimes I hate society.
