Whanie,
If you want it,then by all means do it. I had my 1st done in the Marine Corps,that was over 25 years ago,it has faded some but still looks good. Tattoos have come along ways from the days of the Hells Angels,they no longer mean that you are a hard core biker gang member. I have over the years added a few more, most recently last year an Eagle and the American Flag on my left inside forearm. Everyone of my Inks has a personal meaning for me, and I plan on at least a couple more before I am done. The next one I will travel to Florida to a tattooist that specializes in portraits, they look like actual photographs. I'm gonna have my father and 2 younger brothers put on my chest(my brother below me just passed on Dec 27th) So you can see I do them because they are special to me,and If someone is offended by them,then I guess they should not look at them, but I have never had anybody say anything derogatory to me about them. IMHO....FWIW
