All I can say is I really regret the one on my finger that I cannot cover up. I have the butterfly on my chest you have all seen but I can wear a collar and cover that up . I have the two on my back that you cannot see unless I wear a tank top or bathing suit but the one on my finger I really regret not being able to cover. It was my wedding date and I just recently had it turned into a purple and black Celtic cross. I thought it was hard explaining the wedding date, now people want to know if this clearly Celtic cross is an Iron Cross and what does it mean. UGH. I had very few choices as to what to make into a cover up. I do find rings occasionally that will cover it but I say things you can cover up for a job interview are best. I had my ears pierced four times each. I wear three tiny studs and a loop at the top. I cover that up in mixed company by wearing my hair down because some people even judge over something so silly as that.

Tribal has expanded to just mean like a black ink tattoo in many cases. I have a so called "tribal" tattoo on my back. It's the outline of a butterfly from the side with some ribbons. WTF tribe that is from other than "those who have poor impulse control and go to tattoo parlors tribe" I dunno.

I personally only get Warner Brother cartoon characters as tatoos. As Brian Setzer said "Never get a tatoo where you can't cover it up in court".......

I have only found this to be true with.....Jury Duty.
Mine get me outta it......everytime...

I am thinking about getting my first and only tattoo. A medical tattoo "fistula" on my left forearm so medics will know not to put a blood pressure cuff there as it is dangerous for me.
