>I also have my navel and eyebrow pierced. You'd be surprised at the >number of professional people who have hidden tattoos!! I am a very conservative-looking professional. I'm in a 'fashion' industry, so I can be a little less 'Brooks Brothers' than other fields, but still have to maintain a fairly mild look. BUT- I have a small tattoo on my shoulder- 3 small stars and some tiny 'twinkles'- that is visible with a sleeveless top, and a lower back design of a sun & moon. That one isn't as visible. I didn't get the first one till I was 38, and got the second one, along with a navel pierce, when I was 40. Just your average midlife... um- 'crisis' is such a *negative* word! It was more of a 'recognition'..... a celebration maybe more like it. I really like the idea of ferret paws somewhere, or another ferret related design. ~shari~ [Posted in FML issue 3313]
