    i personally thing all tatoos look trashy....why would you do that to yourself? why draw attention to yourself this way?

    I do it because I am an attention whoore.

    Actually no i do it because its me, i don't do it to stand out (hell I think nontattooed folk stand out more than those of us with ink.)

    I work in a conservative company, and all tattoos have to be covered, even if you have to bandage over them. On the wrist, it would be hard to hide, especially at interviews. In a white collar profession, there are still conservative places that will frown upon tattoos. I would be hesitant to get one where it can't be easily covered in interviews. And saying you'll wear long sleeves is not good enough because if your sleeve happens to shift (ride up) it can still easily reveal the tattoo, and you may have to wear long sleeves even on hot days to cover the tattoo if your work place policy has that in place. And generally, tattoos on hands and faces and necks are frowned upon for business purposes because they cannot be easily concealed. Again, not all places will be like this, but there are still many conservative work places.

    If so, I'm super trashy. I have an ankle, a foot, a shoulder, a back, a wrist and an lower-back/to the right tattoo....... #1 trash monster right here. Lolz.

    In all seriousness, no it's not trashy. I plan on getting a full sleeve done at some point. I am going to go back to school to teach. As long as the kids and parents don't see them, no issue.

    I honestly couldn't care less if they're trashy. My wrist tattoo is my favorite and it's also my favorite spot for tattoos on other people.

    I was not going to scroll through and read all of this thread, however my response to the original question is this... Tattoos are art period. If you choose to get a tattoo wear it proudly and who cares what other people think. If you had to ask the question in the first place then it is my opinion that it is not for you.

    This is my friend's tattoo on her wrist. She loves it! But visible tattoos are not my thing. I am an accountant that will soon be sitting for the CPA exam. I will come across people from all walks of life. Many of whom will possibly be my future clients. It is in my best professional interest not to have visible tattoos. I have a back tattoo that is visible depending on what shirt I wear and I am required to have it covered while at work. I also have an ankle tattoo, a lower ab tattoo and a rib tattoo. All easily coverable. I am dying to get a tattoo on my inner arm. The only thing holding me back is the visibility. Tattoos in general though?? I LOVE THEM!!! I do think a person can overdo them depending on what field they work in.

    I always say the tattoo doesn't make the person. So you can be trashy without any tattoos, or vice versa

    since you ask- yes, i think wrist/face/neck tats look trashy, esp. if it is too big. its kinda odd- lots of my friends and children have tats in all different places and on some it looks trashy and the others it looks like art and it is pretty. The ones that it looks trashy on look trashy regardless, but the the tats make it worse. i dont know, maybe some pple just wear tats better than others. If you feel trashy and think you look trashy, then maybe you do. But, it's really up to you.

    Also, i would have to cover any visible tat at my workplace ( gov ) so why bother.
