ask the artist first , if they say no or if they don ' t reply , have your tattoo artist change the piece a little . or you could just get it done . nothing ' s illegal if you don ' t get caught , right ? <| sep |> The jobs are there , but finding a position can be competitive . If you are deadset on social studies , I ' d suggest being open to relocating if the right opportunity presents itself . Another option would be to get certified in elementary and then most states will allow you to add on other certifications via testing . Each state has different laws requirements regarding that , but for the most part if you are certified in one state you can get reciprocity in another . I hope that this was somewhat helpful .
