How are tattoos perceived in kuwait ??

there are no problems ...i have one on the forearm...i saw many guys with tattoos on both arms....even a girl with a huge one on her shoulder..

Most poeople here (including arabs themselves) have tattoos. No one cares or says anything. Its normal.

thanks guys
just been informed thru to 2nd telephone interview..........

tattoos are not uncommoon in kuwait

Does anyone know of a kind of "plaster" that you can get here in Kuwait to cover your tattoos?  Someone here said that is what some of the workers used, but she didn't know any more information about it.

Isn't a plaster just a band-aid?

Oh I was thinking it was like some sort of cover up, like something wet that is flesh colored and then you put it on and it dries and covers up the tattoo.  But now that you point it out, I am surprised I didn't realize she probably meant band aid.  I am sure it won't be the first time I misunderstand someone here

Haha! We Americans don't always speak proper English, as "Band-aid" is a brand of what the Brits would call plasters! Like in the Southern US, all sodas are called "Coke". Ha!

I love tattoos, they tell a wee story about the person

So just had the face 2 face interview and it went really well, next stage is 3-4 day visit to Kuwait, then visa apps meds etc. I just wanna go now.............but I think it may well be at least 8 weeks.
