I agree. While I have friends who have huge tattoos, good for them. And my brother has a tatoo of his fraternity and a cross on the inner calf... it's not too big... and it's got his letters. AND he can hide it at family gatherings and compand picnics (someone always told me that you dont want to get somthing that you can't hide at work [or stuff] where you have to be upright and responsible worker - not that you arent if you have one... it's just the look). I'd be concerned if my friend Joey came to company picnic and everyone saw the huge blue devil on his right shoulder blade (from HS) or the one on his shoulder, and lower back.. NOT GOOD.
Besides, I hate to say this.. but I wouldn't be able to bring home a guy who had huge / a lot of / or even remotely visible tatoos home to mommy and daddy...
