i'm in the same boat as you man , though probably much younger
.
I've also got a sort of dream of how i want my body to look and it
pretty much involves being almost covered in tattoos except for
certain areas. None of my tattoos are visible when i wear like
school uniform or normal t-shirt /jeans .
I'd suggest tattooing your feet, i recently took to that because i
was running out of space on my body and i wanted to keep it for
something special : )
it does hurt quite a bit , one of the more painful places u can get
but its a really unique kind of pain la , quite shiok also .
anyway its true most singaporeans still look at people with tattoos
in a really odd way , and they associate it with gangsterism , and
like when i change in school people will start talking about oh hes
got so many tattoos must be a gangster and none of my tattoos even
remotely resemble anything gangster . And mind you im from a top
school . If its really a passion like it is for me , then id say
you shouldnt care what anyone in society thinks but just remember
to never tattoo places like your neck as we've gotta be realistic ,
we should just try to hide our tattoos so we dont give people the
OPPORTUNITY to be prejudiced against us .
I'd say within 20-30 years , when the youth of today become the
adults , society is going to be very very different , and tattoos
will become alot more acceptable . If you've read stuff from
overseas , there are many professionals working in good jobs such
as lawyers , bankers , execs etc with tattoos and some of them were
recently featured .
check out this site bodymod.org also , its a pretty cool site to
see other people's tattoos and share your own : ) oh and mind
sharing what tattoos you have ?
