I have nothing against tattoos, i have seen some very nice ones and some that seem to have been drawn on by a 3-year-old but there does seem to be an increasing trend of young people getting the tattoo on their necks or behind their ears.
I have colleagues with tattoo's on the arms and it isn't until you see them outside of work and in a t-shirt that you realise they are there as they are covered by shirt sleeves during the working day but short of wearing a scarf, it isn't easy to cover up a neck tattoo.
It may look cool at 19 and you are a student but not quite such a good idea at times when you have to look professional such as at an interview or business meeting.
Same goes with the tunnel earrings which go inside the hole in the ear lobe and stretch it which is not a good look when you move out of academia and into the real world of work.
Get a tattoo by all means but get it where it can be covered up or exposed depending on the situation because getting on in work and life in general is hard enough and having a neck tattoo and huge great self-imposed holes in your earlobes is not going to make things any easier and i guarantee that when you are the other side of 30, you WILL regret it.
