I have two tattoos, one on my forearm and one on my wrist. I found out it doesn't matter if you have tattoos as long as it is not seen in the audience's "first impression".
What I do is start with a long sleeve shirt, give a good first impression and give them time to warm up to me. Then I roll up my sleeves so I can show them the real magic or "give 'em the good stuff" and if your first impressions are good enough and the magic is good, then I promise you they won't even care and half won't even notice you have a tattoo. I've had people I've done magic for several times who didn't notice I have a tattoo for over two weeks. |

One night, a little worse for drink, while walking back from the bar I made a rash decision that would affect my life forever. I chanced upon a tattoo parlor. It turns out this place decided to stay open until 3 am just to catch the drunken crowd.
I told the burly, yet camp tattooist to tattoo my nose blue. When I woke up the next morning it was too late I was stuck with it. I had to give up my high flying career as a stock broker and I thought my life was ruined until one day, in a vision, a dream, Bonzo was born. Ever since my life could not have been better. I incorporated the blue nose into my persona and have travelled all around the world and it has made me rich. I am forever identified through my blue nose rather than who I really am which is great, nobody likes the real me anyway. There is a moral to this story: don't be afraid to tattoo your nose after a few pints of the good stuff. You won't regret it. Please choose a different color. Marc Climens |

Mal. That reminds me of an old psychic joke:
How do you make a Ouija Board? I'm sure you don't need the punch line Lamentably the above story is true. Truth, my friends, is stranger than fiction. Marc Climens |

That can not be true. Never. If it is true you must be from the UK.
Only we have the balls for that kind of... |

This is exactly what I was thinking. So often in magic we have to turn a negative into a positive. If you've got numbers and a date on your arm, USE IT!

If people judge you by your tattoos, that is their problem, not yours. Reed McClintock has a lot of tattoos, and he is one of the nicest guys on the planet. Maybe you should ask him about his experiences?

No, I don't have tattoos, but Reed McClintock is a good friend and just to reply to Ron's comments about covering tattoos - Reed doesn't cover his and has many corporate clients. I even incorporated a tattoo into Reed's web site when I was redeveloping it. I think that tattoos where probably a negative thing years ago, but not anymore. If the whole procedure of tattoos didn't scare the heck out of me, I'd probably have a couple! |

Those decisions we made when we were young sometimes come back to haunt us, don't they?
Nevertheless, I have three tattoos and I am not ashamed of any of them. Two are very small and on my shoulders. Both are covered just by wearing a tee-shirt. The third, a scorpion, is on my right forearm. Well, there's no covering that up is there? I think for the most part no one will even think twice about it. The fellow above who mentioned he has them completely covering the left side of his chest, well, someone might think twice about that, but a small, discreet tattoo will not draw a lot of attention. Perhaps you can tell a story about it and work it into the show somehow. Although I'd have to say if you're doing kid's magic, for example, you might want to think about covering a tattoo of, say, a naked gal. Just a thought. -R

There is another alternative,and that is to have a tattoo done over the top of the old one,you are a magician then advertise it ,maybe have a tattoo of a partly fanned deck of cards,use it for misdirection,mike

Don’t worry about your tatoo. The daughter of your client probably has a bigger one.

Pathetic. in my opinion tatooes look horrible and stupid people get them done. if you know that people are going to judge you for what your tatoo is of or wher it is. either don't get it done or just get on with it being a disadvantage. "your body should be kept as a temple" what sort of temple has graffitti all over it.

I am proud of my tattoo. I started this post a while back not because I'm afraid people will judge me for what my tattoo actually IS/says etc... I started the post because of stupid people, such as yourself Alex who do not have an open/educated mind. If you had any knowledge of anthropolgy, you'd realize that what you state is your point of view controlled by your culture. Tattoos have been around since the beginning of time. Some cultures have them, others don't and there are thousands of cultures around the world. Becuase of this you can realize that there is no right or wrong, simply how you were enculturated. Well, trying to explain this would be like writing out a doctoral thesis. Hopefully some of you get the point...As for you Mr. Cahill, I'm not sorry you feel that way...

I could name several. WHere does your logic come from man?!!! So, you're saying I wont ever be a top magician because of my tattoos?
This is the last time I respond to such nonsense... |
