How do ya'll navigate long sleeves in the summer?

Hi Ladies. Looking for some advice. I have tattoos on my arms and ankles so I have to wear long sleeves and pants to my internships (and probably ultimately my job). I live in a city that gets really hot during the summer, and I walk to work.

Last summer I sweated through my shirts every morning walking to work (I've become a sweaty gal as I've gotten older). Luckily I don't get stinky but it's embarrassing and uncomfortable, not to mention most of my work shirts are silk and have to be dry cleaned, which gets so expensive (I'm switching to washable shirts to solve this problem). I don't know if there's anything I can do about this and was wondering if anyone deals with something similar and has found solutions.

What I've tried: I don't wear my suit jacket while I walk. I have a little battery op fan but it only helps so much. I've also started walking slower because my preferred power walking doesn't help things. lol. I use "prescription strength" men's antiperspirant which doesn't make a dent.

What I'm considering: laser treatment for underarm sweat, but it's expeeensive ($2200). I've also considered not putting my blouse on until I get to work (just rocking an undershirt on the way) but I'd feel so weird putting on and tucking in a shirt while standing outside the building.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

What jobs/professions are allowing you to afford your homes (and the luxury vehicles in the driveways)? The houses are so beautiful!

I ask out of curiosity as someone making a starting salary in a profession that has great earning potential, hoping to eventually be able to afford living in the area.

Is Quimbee or LexPlug better for learning materials for admin law? Need to watch some videos and do some practice problems because I'm barely clinging to the concepts. Exam is open book, issue spotter.
