If you choose a snake design, you have to choose it wisely as the tattoo is something permanent in your life which is very difficult to have removed if not needed. Sometimes it proves to be difficult to get jobs if you have a tattoo as many employers think that tattoos don't project the right principles in an employee. So if you have to have a snake tattoo, have it placed in places that will not be seen by the employer when you seek a job.

Have the snake tattoo done on your back, upper arm or chest where it is more than likely to be covered with your shirt. Don't put it in places that are more prominent and can be seen by the employer like in the forearms. And have a snake tattoo only if you are sure you can live it for your length of your life, with it depicting your nature and attitude to life.
