<p>I doubt that many people would view such a small tatoo as unprofessional or as something negative or even notice it. However, the reactions you get will partially depend on your field of study: in the more left-wing fields of study, the tatoo will tend to be ignored or viewed positively; in the more conservative fields of study, you will be a bit more likely to encounter someone who views it negatively (but I still think it won’t be an issue for most). So in women’s studies, sociology, psychology, social work, political studies, English, foreign languages, etc., the tatoo will be an asset; in investment banking, some MBA’s etc., you might find the very occasional person who views it as unprofessional (but I think they are becoming rare birds).</p>
