ok to get tattoo as an aspiring actor?




lmao


okk so i want to get a tattoo.
it's gonna cover my left arm,
from my wrist to a 1/4
up to my elbow.

i also want to be an actor.
so is it ok to get the tattoo and just cover it
with make up?
or
get it on my leg?(im ok with that)
or
not get it until im actually a bit more known
in the industry?
...
getting into the industry is hard enough already.
will this lower my chances for getting a job?
...what should i do?



Answer
I would wait until you are better known or it is going to limit the roles they can cast you on. A producer will pay for 2 hours of makeup for a big star like Angelia Jolie to have her tattoos covered up for a role. For an unknown, they are just going to look for someone without tattoos where the makeup team doesn't need to spend extra hours trying to cover it up. What happens if they are casting some "clean cut" character that has a beach scene where you'll be in a swimsuit. Once they see the tattoos, that role will go to someone else even if you were the better actor as they won't want to waste the resources of the makeup team in addition to any extra editing required in post production to even out your skintone.

if you could be successful in any of the careers, which would it be?

super model (runway)

badminton player



Answer
Actor. It's the most challenging of the three. One can be an actor almost until they wheel one to the morgue.

Badminton player would be second in the lineup. It emphasizes physical fitness and agility and can also be done for a lifetime.

Supermodels are emaciated and *young.* The exceptions--Christie Brinkley, Lauren Hutton, Andie MacDowell, Cheryl Tiegs, Kathy Ireland--weren't known as runway models; swimsuits, cosmetics, fashion were their forte. And you know about them because they *are* exceptions to the rule that the career ends when adulthood begins.

However, I would choose a career because I loved it and because it made a difference in the world, not because of the pay or the name recognition.
