I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have access to a mirror that you can use to see it.

Dude, then why bother getting it? Tat removal can cause scarring. And I don’t think insurance covers it. It’s cosmetic.

I think it would be best to find the “right” tattoo that will be an asset to your career, that way, you can avoid insurance matters completely.

The juggling beetle can be explained as a religious deity to prospective employers. It will show that you are a committed, devout individual. Having an obscure religion will come in handy when you are deciding on your holiday schedule at work.

You may want to consider an extremely bold design. I think a line tracing the circumference of your neck, bisected by either a medical staple or hand-stitch design, would really pop. Depending on the circumstances, it could be a past work injury (what a trooper you are, and a way to stand out to your future coworkers) or a medical condition (again, creating a flexible schedule due to “doctor’s appointments”, preferred parking spaces and maybe special work implements).

If you do decide to have your necktoo removed, you will need to play by the rules to have it covered by your insurance plan. Dropping a piping hot grilled cheese sandwich on your neck should qualify for burn treatments/ sking grafts. Brand new skin– for the cost of your deductible!

Mr. Lizard you need a “thug” or “gangster” name and have that name done in old English lettering. You could also have a deceased relatives name complete with their birth date and death date below it. If you want to go all, include a portrait of them in the tattoo also. this is really popular at the WalMart on the border of Oakland and San Leandro.
Unfortunately health insurance does not cover tattoo removal. I have heard though some clinics and services for gang members will do tattoo removals for free. The same with inmates leaving prison.
If you just want to hide it and show it off on your time away from work, Dermablend concealer is great and can be found at department stores.

Health insurance does not usually cover the cost of tattoo removal, as it is considered an elective/cosmetic procedure.

Also, why get a tattoo there if you’re just planning to have it removed anyway? Perhaps consider another location?

Or, you could do what a friend of mine does and buy concealer to cover it up when you’re job-looking.

A databanger would be more useful.

Be careful with the greek letters. I asked for one that had in a spiral the inscription ‘Know Thyself- Socrates’. Later I discovered he had actually written a bunch of curse words.

you need to get a tatoo that “YOU” want. if you get a tat from someones suggestion, then its not really worth it. the idea has to come from you. It represents and symbolizes you and you alone.

i wouldn’t get one if you are already planning on getting rid of it!!
It hurts too much to get it removed, so you might want to rethink getting one in the first place.!

If you do not want the tat forever….DON’T GET IT!! Put a fake one on.

No, health insurance does not cover anything like that.
