Almost any tattoo on your arm/shoulder (unless at the very top) is going to be visible when you wear short sleeves, unless you wear really tight sleeves.

You live in New York, right? What if you move South? Then you'll be wearing short sleeves more often (though admittedly, at least the South is a little more firearm-hospitable).

There are plenty of girls are OK with guys who shoot guns, and even some who will shoot with you. That's not the issue. Getting a gun inked on yourself is (outside of the military) sending them a major red flag that guns are your life, not just a hobby. Even if that's true, it's not something I would ever want to advertise. I have never told any girl that I shoot before I tell them anything else about myself. And frankly, guns
aren't my life, anyway.
And you can complain that it's unfair, and blame it on the liberals for poisoning people's heads with anti-gun propaganda, and whatnot. But the fact is, with women, you need to take their "ignorance" as a given when you make a first impression.

It's really easy to say that
now, but wait until you're in a situation where it actually happens. Maybe you should at least move to Texas or something first.
As I've said already, I'd get this tat on your back, nowhere else. But don't expect me to endorse this, even though I'm sure others on here might. I can almost assure you that, sooner or later, you will regret it (regardless of how you feel about guns in the future).
