<p>For me personally, it is important to me to affirm that I think law students should be able to get tatoos.</p>
<p>I hesitated on tatoos in part because I thought temporary tatoos would be sufficient.</p>
<p>I’ve talked to my children, and they don’t understand why people with tatoos would be treated differently.</p>
<p>It doesn’t make sense to them and frankly, that’s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective.</p>
<p>I would (1) not wear a short sleeved shirt, and (2) not let people know that my internet handle was fijeeboi, because many people are offended by such blatant a sexual reference in an internet handle.</p>
<p>Xavi, the original post was made 4 1/2 years ago and the individual who posted hasn’t been active here on CC for 3 years. I don’t imagine he will see, or need, your advice today. :)</p>
<p>The topic of tattoos has been covered on CC multiple times through the years. My advice remains the same that I gave in this thread years ago. Unless you’re covered head to tow, or have sleeves of tattoos, you are unlikely to have an issue, as a lawyer. I could probably think of a hundred lawyers I know with tattoos, in all types of practices and positions, including my D who is currently clerking for a Federal Judge. It’s not an issue for any of those whom I know, nor the people with whom they work.</p>
<p>@alwaysamom: I agree, I’d just cover it up. lol</p>
<p>I just couldn’t believe that outlandish handle.</p>
Also a lot of people who get tats have a deep meaning behind them
