I'm young and in college to be an elementary school teacher. I lost two family members and almost a third to breast cancer in the past few years so in their memory, I wanted to get a small 1/4 of an inch pink ribbon on my right wrist. Because it would be so small and it is a well known symbol, would it affect my future career possibilities?

any tatoo could have reprecusions i guess. but being on ur wrist u could cover it up for school with a watch so not to draw attention to it. alternitivly why not get it in a place where it wont be on show the whole time ?

Well I don't know where you come from but where I come from (Scotland) you would be hard pressed to find a tattoo artist that would give you a tattoo on your hands mainly because they do not want to be responsible for people getting discriminated against. For example my brother in law has loads of tattoos but none on his hands because he said it seriously decreases your chances of getting employed. However, since your tattoo is for a good cause it would be wrong of your employers to discriminate against you.

Every tattoo will in some way, depending on the matter of personal opinions around you. A small tattoo should be fine. I know many teachers who have them. Also, on your wrist is an only partly revealed area, some people wont even notice. This tattoo seems important to you, so go ahead and get it. People will understand, and as the symbol is well known and important, some people will even find it beautifully touching. Good luck!

Probably not, cause I know a teacher who got a Steeler Logo Tatoo on the back on her neck, Get it after you get the job

I would say that if I were you and took teaching serious I would'nt do it. I'm a truck driver and I have them on my hand, arm, chest, ect. and nobody gives a crap. But people have different expectations of a teach. If ,however, u just have 2, I would put it on an upper shoulder where it would only be seen if i wore a strapless dress, bikini top or something. I kind of agree with the first ans. you recieved but the ultimate decision to do it will be up to u! I don't care what anyone tells u it (tattoo) cheapens you. For instance, if you were a pro model, i'm sure there would be go sees that would'nt be able to use you because of it -You ever see any tattoos on Tyra Banks girls on Am next top model?

That depends on the school. With pink being such a light color, consider someplace that gets less sun exposure.

Many teachers these days have tattoos. Obviously you have to be cautious as to what you get, but a small, significant tattoo of something important that most people know its meaning isn't going to be looked down upon. For example, my friend fully intends to be a teacher and has "love is all you need" on her wrist. It's bigger, but she volunteers at childrens organizations, and has met many professionals and they look at her value as a person over her tattoo because she is so friendly. However, I would suggest you get it on your left hand because you shake hands with your right hand, and there's less of a chance for an employer to notice. If it were me, as others suggest, I would wear a bracelet for interview day. Good luck!

Something that small would more than likely not even be seen by anyone. I say go for it!

Any visibal tattoo could. I would call diffrent schools and ask them. Big bracelets and wrist bands can be used to cover them while your at work, so can band aids and sleves. If you do it make sure you can cover it easly just in case and with a little luck hopfully you will be able to find a school that will alow you to show it
