@anna it really depends and is more complicated than I fully understand. as tim says, US government employees are generally unionized. many of my friends are in non-unionized term-limited positions that have basically no protections, though - this is a way many of the "tech to public sector" pipelines have happened recently, as a hack to more closely match private sector salaries more onerous hiring processes. also, many folks working for government are contractors.

@anna looks like you've - already got a lot of great advice. I'l just reiterate about selecting - talk to people you know who have tattoos in style you like. look at tattooer instagram (unfortunately they're all there) - see what other tattooers artists you like follow. visit shops if you can, see if people whose style you like will do consult so that you can see if you like their personality and feel comfortable giving them feedback.

for where - try taping a drawing to yourself! leave it on

@makingarecord I only think about the roman empire whenever someone circulates an article about how it was or wasn't gay
