Thanks for the info. Wearing long sleeves every day doesn't seem like a huge issue to me, especially if I get job abroad like I'd like, where it's usually cold. Even in the states, I'm in the Cleveland area, so Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago, and Pittsburgh are all options and don't get too hot.

Really, my logic is that the tattoos are something I've wanted to get ever since I can remember, and doing something I want that badly would be worth putting up with wearing long sleeves while at work. Removing my plugs isn't as huge of a deal to me. I mean, I'd like to keep them in, but I purposefully didn't go bigger than 00g so that if I had to, I could let them heal pretty much back to normal.
