So if your tattoo is on a place that can be seen by everyone like the forearm, neck or head, it may be a bit difficult to get employment.
With a shoulder tattoo, you can cover the tattoo with a shirt when working, and when you want to have your friends and fiancé see the tattoo, you just have to go shirtless or wear some tank tops or singlet.

So if your shoulder tattoo should run to your upper arm, remember that the inner part of the upper arm may make you grit your teeth.
