People with sleeves/half sleeve tattoos? Have a few questions about them.?

I'm considering getting a half sleeve tattoo done, and I am going to wait a WHILE before actually getting it done, especially since I haven't decided on a profession yet. I just had a few questions:

1) What do you do for a living

2) Do you have to cover your sleeve at work

3) If so, what do you wear to cover it

4) On a scale of 1-10, how big of a pain in the *** is it to cover it up everyday?

5) Any regrets?

Thanks! :)

    I am also a financial consultant and have a half sleeve. It is ironic than the more conservative the career the the easier it is to cover. On a scale of one to ten, it is a zero. I have no regrets. If you get the right design and it is well executed, you shouldn't either.

    They also make excellent cover makeup so I would not worry about this. Be yourself, and get the tattoo now!

    I'm a financial advisor (female) and wear sleeves that go at least below my elbow. I do also cover it up quite a bit if I'm out as I do get a lot of stares and questions and sometimes I just like to blend in. I got it for me, and i love it, I just wish it wasn't such a focus all the time. I'd say that it frustrates me maybe 5% of the time or less (only when it's really hot out or there's a super cute shirt I just can't wear).

    1) office gig @ real estate firm 2) yes 3) long sleeve dress shirts 4) not really, though wearing long sleeves all the time in arizona gets hot, but its a business formal dress code so I would have to wear it anyway. 5) nope
