Some of the sweetest and most caring people I know are tatted up. I'm glad I don't use tattoos as a metric for character assessment...

This topic has been talked to death many times here. Some of the newer members may not have looked back far enough to read the almost novel length threads on the subject.

These are my opinions, like tattoos have stories behind them, for personal reasons.

I personally do not have any tattoos, my daughter has one on the nape of her neck where it is hidden by her hair. Her mistake wasn't the tat itself, but what it WAS. Her THEN boyfriends name. Boyfriends come and boyfriends go, but a tat is forever. There is a myriad of stories behind every tattoo, some are done for fun or on a dare, some are remembrances of births or deaths of loved ones, some enjoy the artistry.

I do tend to discourage young ladies from getting tattoos, my reasons for that are the following.
I have seen some beautiful, colorful, tattoos on women and men. I personally like men with tattoos. Here is where my reasons for discouragement for young ladies comes in.
When you get a new, artfully done tattoo, it looks great. But, especially for women, life leaves its mark on us. Childbirth, maybe an accident (I know some people will put a tattoo over a scar), and as we age, our skin loses its elasticity. And most colors fade over time and from sun exposure.

A beautiful tattoo done when you're 20 years old is not going to be as beautiful 30 + years later.

I think a couple of strategically placed tattoos are a much better idea (for women), than having a sleeve or your legs covered in ink.

Just my nickles worth.

But, I understand it is a generational thing. For us boomers, middle and upper class folks didn't get tats, at least not ones readily visible. With music industry glorifying tats, it has made them much more acceptable to society. Most of my nephews and nieces have tats, some quite visible.

For me, I can over look a few tats. But why would a beautiful woman want to cover her beautiful skin in something permanent? If you need attention, dye your hair purple.

For me, I have never seen a woman with tats that I thought enhanced her beauty; rather it is something I try to overlook. And if she has them across her chest, I probably won't see her; we have too little in common.

what I dislike is people that think, just because they like or dislike something, that everyone else should feel the same way

how fucking boring this world would be if everyone was the same

I can see the debate on both sides, but me personally speaking I love tattoos on women and in general. I have tattoos myself and plan on getting a few more done. so I can relate with women who have tattoos. We enjoy the beauty and the detail realism of the artwork. I'm attracted to all types women don't matter if they have tattoos or not, but if they do that's a bonus me. Their are classy ladies out there with some elegant and tasteful artwork and depending on the placement it add to the sex appeal in my opinion. I do believe that their is a limit though. If you have a sleeve that's cool but I don't think you should just cover your whole body from head to toe like Wiz Khalifa. Nothing trashy, none on the face of course and the neck is not my cup of tea but not a deal breaker. As for the chest it depends. If they're small or less detailed that fine but if it covers your whole chest and breast, ironically it's a turn off. Same with the lower torso of the body it all about size and placement for me.

Tattoos, no tattoos, love them both. I do think tatted up girls are really sexy ... even if they got them in prison.

How do you like this one, Autumn?

I got a fucking AK47 tatted under my chin bitches. AND HELLLA New piercings

I promise you, they didn't get tattoos for you. And just because you don't like them, doesn't mean most men don't. I personally find tastefully done tattoos are very attractive.

For the part that pertains to me, I like tattoos, have a lot of them, and I'm far from a "lowlife." I have a lot of friends with them, some that are firemen, law enforcement agents, nurses and other medical professions, you know, the real lowlife types.

So op, who's the real idiot around here?

Firemen, law enforcement and nurses and other medical professionals are very middle class to lower class people, few ever make real money or come from money or power and most do not even make over 100,000/year. Those are jobs filled by the grunts of society not those with ambition or intellect. To use this class of people as a social standard is really setting the standard very low.

You've made an extremely ignorant and incorrect generalization.

I apologize, I didn't realize that the amount of money and power that you have had the become the new standard of character assessment. Next time I want to find out if someone is a descent human being, I'll be sure to ask for their financial records and proof that they're extremely powerful.

I hope you never get in a bad car wreck where you'd be extracted from your vehicle by firemen and be taken care of by nurses and doctors. It's truly unsettling to think your life would be in the hands of the "grunts of society with no ambition or intellect"

This is not the stupidest thread I've read, but it started very belligerently.

Raised in an era when tattoos were thought of as tacky and associated with criminals and lowlifes displaying vulgarities and symbols of hatred and bigotry permanently inked in visible and covered body parts. Of course, there are the tattoos on members of the military who claim that the only reason they got one is that they were drunk.

Since tattoos have become more common, the prejudices against them have lessened. Obviously, they have not been eliminated, but my attitude has changed. I am amazed by the creativity and art they display.

The problems I have with them relates to their permanence. What will they look like in the long run? Also, I have a hard time thinking of kids talking about their grandmas' tattoos. lol

My thoughts exactly! Firemen and medical professionals being completely devoid of intellect is news to me. The world would be a much scarier place if that fallacious statement was true..
