No, I don't think so. When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what ANYONE says. The only person to make the decision about a tattoo is you. Like cindyjmd said, people are going to think what they want. All that matters is what you think. In the beginning, tattoos were mostly only seen on bikers, gangs, etc...(basically, rough people), and they were looked down on and sometimes even feared. But with the way things are today, tattoo's and body peircings are common place. Yes, there's still people who look at them the way they did back then, but those people are few and far between. I say, your never too old to express yourself. Life is to short, have fun and live your life for you. I recently got a "tramp stamp" and I absolutely LOVE IT, and I'm 40 yrs. old!! As far as location for a guy, the shoulder blade, inner forearm, upper arm and chest are all good spots. I for one think the upper arm band is sexy on a man. anyway, good luck. MJ.
