I currently have no tattoos, but in the years that I've been considering them, this is something I've given a lot of thought to. I'm sad to say that at one point, I even thought to myself, "What will my future husband think of my tattoos?" and of course, "What will my employer think?" Since I'm already at a disadvantage because I am a young woman, and pretty inexperienced in the work force, it is scary to think about how getting tattoos might affect me when it comes to getting a job. Then I realized this: my tattoos are for me and no one else. So why should I have to consider what anyone else is going to think of them? If I decided to throw away my personal desire to adorn my body with art because of any outside influence, I would just be perpetuating the inequality! I believe that I have every right to get tattooed, regardless of my gender, and that I have every right to get a job that I am qualified for, regardless of my appearance.
