I've never gotten a tattoo before and I was thinking recently that if I were to get one it would have to do with who I am and what I believe. After some thought, I've come to the conclusion that it would be an owl, because they represent "truth" in Native American culture and the ancient Greeks associated owls with the goddess Athena which represented "wisdom". I think it encapsulates what I strive for quite well and it's a symbol that would always be relevant no matter what my belief in the next 80 years.
My two main problems are these:
1) After doing research on owl photos, drawings & tattoos, I realised they're not the most aesthetically pleasing animal out there. I might have to go back to the drawing board on that one, or maybe you guys have seen a sweet owl drawing here or there?
2) I couldn't care less what other people think of me, but I do care what my future employer would think. I'm studying engineering and I find it hard to imagine that an engineering consultancy would be accepting of someone with ink on them. Do you know of people who have had problems because of their tattoos at their job?
