I hope is one of those temporal tatoos...

Nah, I don't think that's true. For one, he can easily wear a long-sleeved shirt and no one will be the wiser. For two, at least in America, tattoos are fairly common and no longer and instant disqualifier for work. Add in the fact that magicians are kind of supposed to be odd, counter-cultury and I think that this particular tattoo won't be a problem with getting work.
Well, here's my thoughts, anyway. First off, let me say that I have tattoos. 9 at the moment and I plan to get several more. I've actually researched body modification and know a fair amount about it, and (unlike many who will dismiss any form of body mod out of hand) I think I have a fairly objective view towards the whole idea of tattoos in general.
That said, I shall comment on your ink.
First thought: I hope you never lose interest in magic. That will be a huge pain to cover or remove, and if you stop doing magic you're going to have to explain, repeatedly, why you got it in the first place.
Second: That's not the best font choice ever. Well, I'm guessing it's a mix between font and choice of artists. The way it's done now makes 'Mundus' look blurry due to how thick the letters are, and how close they are, and 'Vult' looks like 'Owl' for the same reasons. Your artist really should have made the letters a little thinner, or put more space between them. Skin is not as forgiving when it comes to odd fonts.
I'm guessing you didn't have a nice hi-res picture to work with? This looks like something you printed off the internet and took to the tattoo shop, where the artist just transferred it to a stencil and inked it up.
In the future I recommend you put a lot more effort into finding an artist instead of someone that will just put ink in your skin, and also in finding an excellent source image.
I don't see the point in it. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Its cool.
I have 8 tats myself. Me personally i just dont like the location. I like to cover my tats with ease, wearing a long sleeve shirt in hot weather is not my idea of fun.
If you want to be original, don't get a tattoo. Nowadays everyone and their mother has a tattoo. I am not one to preach but what happens when you are 80 sitting in a church? Your body is a temple, would you want to ruin it by putting ink on it?
Contrary to popular belief, this is not just a tattoo, I was randomly decided to get one day, it had been in my mind for a rather long time. As far as the tattoo, I will admit that it is my first, and I did research a lot of different tattoo artist, and went with an award winning artist in my area. I will apologize for the picture quality, it was taken with the camera on my phone, and the angle of the picture does make the letters seem to be a bit closer than they are. The lines are straight, clean, and look nice.
As far as getting gigs, The tattoo has not been an issue in any way. I work at a restaurant two days a week, and perform private parties here and there. I do wear a blazer when I perform, which covers the art most of the time, but there are several instances that I do pull the sleeves up. Again, I still have not had any issues, I had gotten the tattoo about a month ago.
Another concern I had read was me losing interest in magic, and having the tattoo really mean something to me. I have been interested in magic my entire life, from a child and now into my adult years. I did want to get a tattoo that had meaning to me, and they only thing I would want on my body, is something that I would never grow tired of. Its true I have no intentions on being a professional magician, after all I do have a very stable career, with opportunity to advance more than I already have. But the profits I do make performing magic, I do stick back into magic, new props, books, DVD's etc.
I posted the picture for this reason, to find out what other people in the magic community think of it. I like what I have read, and looking for more.
There's a reason for the superstition surrounding getting a name tattooed on you.
