Traveling to London/Modern Classic next month. Any suggestions?

I didn't read every single page, so bear with me if I missed it. I noticed the majority of you are in corporate and business situations. Can anyone share their experiences as a doctor? Nurse? Veterinarian? I'm curious to see what people have to say about some of these professions.

Personally, I know two different doctors with sleeves. One is a sixty year old biker, bodybuilder, and orthopedic surgeon. I've known him all my life and he's an incredible doctor. He doesn't show his sleeves at work. The other is similar. I'm in school to become a veterinarian, which obviously means I'll be interacting with people, but not on the same level as lawyers or salesmen do.

I think most would agree that it depends on your demographics. I'm an investment advisor in a VERY small, conservative, mid-west town and have limited my tattoos to "above the elbows and knees". I was in to see the local doctor to draw blood recently and my discretion was reinforced when the nurse gave out a quick "oh! - maybe we should use the other arm" when my sleeves were pulled up higher than normal.

Really? I didn't tell her the other arm wouldn't be any better. For the sake of my business, I'll keep them covered for now...

@misterJ - I've been trying to get tattoos that somehow reflect the traditional style of the places i visit, so I got a polynesian style maui hook in Hawaii and a traditional eagle from Matt Howse in San Francisco - Matt is an outstanding tattooist an all around great guy.

I'm crossing my fingers that I can get into Frith Street in February.

So after years (ok, decades) of contemplating, changing my mind, establishing a career, etc...I'm finally starting my tattoo collection.

Travel has been the catalyst. Maui and San Francisco started things off, and I'm looking forward to London in February.

Thank you to all of the veteran contributors - I'm a research nut and you've been very helpful!

My pleasure - good luck with your new tattoo!

I believe his name is Chime
