I bought this a few months ago and it's 10x lighter than a longsleeve t-shirt. Where I work is casual dress 3/5 days a week, so I got tired of wearing long sleeve tees/thermals/sweaters/etc when it started getting hot out.. It's not like you wont notice you have it on... but it beats the other option by a longshot

I've tattooed my mother-in-law, my brother-in-law, and my father-in-law's wife. In-laws aren't always a bad thing

People still judge books by their cover, and they always will, no matter how many tats you have, or if you look funny, if you walk stoopid, people will discriminate, it's in the human nature. When I was in management a number of years ago, it was just easier at long winded boring arse meetings to have a long sleeve shirt on, that way we could actually get on with the job, as I learnt quickly that there are some truly sheltered people around, who possibly think i'm going to hell because of tattoos. Anyway, fuck them, fuck what they think, as long.... as you don't give a fuck what they think eh!..also it helps if.... you have a career, or direction then no worries. If you have no job direction, aspirations of career, and you fully cover yourself in tats, then expect some set backs.

If they discriminate against you:

1. Tell them you eat little people that discriminate against you and ask them if that upsets them...

2. Put them in the Sumo head lock like I'm doing to the little dude in his cube below...

JK lol your sleeve looks great bro!
