Well if you just have to have one right now that’s probably just as good an idea as paying 2x MSRP from a grey. The only problem is it’s only going to be accurate twice a day and for many with OCD that’s not going to be accurate enough, but with 86,400 seconds in a day some may argue that’s still good enough. That’s seems like a bold move for what amounts to be a tiny sliver of ceramic that, in this case, won’t even be real. I just hope you’re not a flipper.

I actually like the contrast of a watch against my tattooed skin.

However as my left arm work is getting on 15 years old it does need touching up.

What reference is this? Looks fantastic.

I like your tattoo and would not remove it. Strap on a watch and get on with your life.

I wouldn't recommend you do that, not now anyway.

That is just wrong IMO...

I'd leave it alone. It's not distracting from a watch and you can only see it if you are wearing short sleeves. Make it part of your style!

So I decided to go see a few doctors for consults. An actual plastic surgeon who does laser, and a dermatologist who also does laser.

However, I'm still 50-50 on this. I honestly have no issues with the tattoo day to day, the problem is I do have to 'hide it' in client meetings which is not a big deal as I'm already wearing a long-sleeve shirt and possibly a sports jacket. Plus, I'd love to just wear my watches like a regular person on my left.

Ha.

A very "first world" problem.

Well best of luck in removing it if you have to. Ive seen tattoos become more mainstream in business so hopefully you don't have to hide it in the near future and can just enjoy wearing the watch over the tattoo.

I would just work out where you wear your watch and add to your tattoo sleeve to centre it, if that is possible, I have tattoos from 45 years ago that are not as good as yours.

I have had several moles removed by different doctors using different laser types.
While the moles were similar looking the results vary from completely impossible to see there was a mole there before to skin discoloration to raised scar.
So I'd say both skills/method and equipment are important for optimum results.

There are lots of tattooed arms on this board and lots of pictures of watches on those arms.

So, my opinion is that unless you absolutely want the tattoo removed, I think you should leave it as is.

I have been watching some of the games of the World Cup and I noticed a lot of players with full arm sleeve tattoos.

The actual tattoo is a scar.

Nobody is complaining about Beckham's tattoo's...so don't worry about yours.

Can’t remember what Asian country it was, pretty sure it was China, people had their whole bodies skinned after death and put on display so people could see their tattoos. I wouldn’t mind it happening to me. But I’m not too bothered by death, bones and all that good stuff.

Mtpisgah · 6 July 2018, 11:32 AM

The only reason I think it might look bad wearing a watch over the tattoo is because it will look like you are trying to hide it. I would extend it 4-6” up the arm so it looks better when wearing a watch.

I have three tattoos and would have at least four more if my wife would ‘let’ me. As soon as she gets her third, I get my fourth.

Aren't they?

Trailboss516 · 6 July 2018, 10:01 PM

I think you should get a bigger tattoo. Cover that one up with more ink.

I agree with this. I just finished my entire right arm. (Work just started allowing them)

I’ll be moving onto the watch arm in the next month or so.

Just keep it and get more lol.

Try a bund strap for a temporary solution. You can get a custom one that will hide or complement the art work.
