wow.. that is a cool tattoo, definitely does look real paw print!

one question (not a criticism), since it's so large and on your forearm, won't you have trouble getting a job if a place is conservative? I know I'd never be allowed to wear short sleeves in my job if I had a tattoo like that... we have male teachers who have to have custom sleeves on their shirts to cover their tattoos. I know not every place is like that, but many professions would frown on something that visible (not the tat, but the visibility).
