Ok, here is a "silly question". I have been considering a tattoo for quite some time now, but have really wanted it on my left wrist. ASL and my involvement in the Deaf community is a huge part of my life and if I don't become an interpreter (ie: because of my own hearing loss or whatever), I would still like to have a job where it is a primary element.
Is it "appropriate" or "professional" for an interpreter to have "clean arms"? I am not talking about tattooing my whole arms, or even having a very big tattoo at all, but would it distract others?
Is it not customary for interpreters to wear long sleeves and keep them rolled down while working?
Some insight would be appreciated...
Thanks.
