I think it depends on the person. I personally do have visible tattoos if I'm wearing short sleeves, but I own my own business. This has been the case since I was 15. Every male in my family has owned their own business for as long as I can remember, so I guess it's in my blood. I have confidence in my ability to run a successful business, and think that I will continue to do so. I did think about what you're saying before I ever got tattoos though, I figure if my business fails, the tattoos on my arm will be a reminder that I need to push myself harder and start something new so that I don't have to rely on a shithole job and paycheck. If all else fails, I'll work for my dad, hah.

But yeah, someone who doesnt have the motivation, determination or simply the smarts to push themself to be great, shouldnt get visible tattoos I'm neither for nor against the idea of getting tattoos, I think it 100% depends on the person in the equation.
