All the hype about tattoos or not.. Lord if I judged someone for having a tattoo by being "sexy" or "hot" then I'm not getting to know that person. A person would never know that I had a tattoo unless I was wearing a tank top or some sort of top that revealed it. I'd much rather be called "trashy, slutty" or whatever else it is that is being said about women that have tattoos and KNOW that I'm not that way, Than to be "trashy, slutty" because that's how some people really are.

And for those that say that tattoos only look good on "hot" women.. Get a life, tattoos can look good on anyone as long as they take care of themselves.. Seems to me that there are a lot of shallow closed minded people out there.

In spite of it, which is exactly my point. If people can look past acne to find a person attractive and datable, why can't they do the same with tattoos? I find it interesting that a lot of the same people who pride themselves on not being shallow and their "beauty is more than skin deep" proclamations are the ones who have the biggest problem with tattoos.

I use to think they were not right on anyone,especially women. I got my 1st last year in April. I like it,may have 1 more sometime. I just feel there should be a limit. Anyhow I have gotten use to tatoos,they turn me on when I see them on a woman,especially in certain areas. Just do not over do it.

It's a matter of preference. By and large, I say "no". But tattoos and the women they are on are evaluated on a case by case basis. :)

I understand everyone's preference thing. But honestly, does it make me or any other woman that has a tattoo a worse mother, or worse at their job.. Come one people it is 2007 not 1900. But this is just my opinion.

Let's put it this way, I work in a nursing home, I'm very good at my job, I love my job, "You" can't see my tattoo, I take care of your mother/father or grandmother/grandfather. Would me having a tattoo change the way "you" look at how i take care of your loved one? I think that if it did, then there are way more issues than most want to admit.

Having a tattoo doesn't make me any less of a person than "you" are. I honestly think it's just a shame that people are really that shallow to see past what a person has on their bodies, to get to know a person for who they are.

I've met some really interesting people that had tattoos and piercings. It's a shame to think that if I couldn't have seen past those that I really would have missed out on a great friendship.

And just so "you" know not everyone that has a tattoo or piercing is a biker, slut, trailer trash, or unintelligent.

There is a huge difference between what we can control/change and what we cannot.

the most ridiculous, idiotic comparison/argument i've ever come across. Pay attention children.... intentional and deliberate disfigurement in no way can be compared with skin/health problems beyond someones control. It seems only the obtuse and people of low intelligence have the need to defend their tats and are capable of offering only mundane and banal advice such as "its your body" or "do what you want".... a question was posed where people have the choice to respond in either a positive or negative way to tattoos on women.... any more questions?

I DID do mine for me...it was declaration of independance after leaving a very restrictive 22 year marriage. It was worth all the pain.

We must make ourselves happy first, and sometimes I enjoy getting 'out of the box.' I have one on my butt (got it at 38yo and now I am 52) and if you don't like it, don't look! My kids like it, my parents hate it. I may be able to be identified by it if I die in a destructive way, no questions from my family if it was me or not. I love it and my butt is not 'saggy'. It did hurt but I still laugh about it, but I laugh about breaking my leg,too. If it is an issue with anyone, so be it. Live and let live....

well said "people are born with or develop acne problems,dont they?they didnt chose to have acne issues,did they?i havent seen these people wake up one morning with clear skin and say "i want to ruin it with acne".tattoos are not natural.you are not born with them.your body wasnt meant to have some disgusting looking picture drawn on it,was it?NO.if you were supposed to have ink in your body you woulda been born an octopus or squid.i would rather see beautifull clear,clean soft skin on a nude woman then clean,clear skin with these grosse lookin pictures on it.art belongs on a wall.if the picture or whatever it is supposed to be is that important to you have it drawn and framed.go to a truck lettering place and have it drawn on your car.nothing is that important that it needs to be on your body,especially on your back where you cant see it yourself anyways,whats the point?

never mind the health issues that can and do arise from getting the things.unlike piercings where a new needle is used many of the so called "artists" reuse the needles.i dont care how sterile or clean they try to be there is still a high probability of being infected with something from them.its not a hospital or doctors office.HEP-C being the most common.my parents are dying from HEP-c that my dad got from being tattooed.and since i know thats how he got it i look at people with tattoos and and think,do they have it?do i really want to take a chance on shakeing thier hand and catching it from a cut on thier hand that i dont see?my EX(or whatever she is) just got one a month ago.now i wonder if everytime i have sex with her if she caught something and will give it to me.i wonder if she caught something and would give it to our son or her daughter.she hasnt been tested yet and i am planning on being tested.ya i know i shouldnt have had sex with her till she got tested.cant stand to see her completely naked anymore.i make her keep her shirt on 24/7 when around me.i dont want to see or touch it.id rather see her take a razor blade and cut it out and have a nasty scar from it than to look at the thing.its only a month old and it looks like she had it ten years already.i seen it a week after she had it done.the lines were all blurry,the words were blurry,it was already faded.just nasty looking.repulsive is more like it.

and i know the big reason she left is cuz she wanted a tattoo and figured if she left me,got the tattoo and came back that i would get over it.she knows about my parents.ive told her no about it when she has mentioned it.i told her to seriously think before getting it cuz she knows she will be back with me and that i most likely wont take her back if she did it.well now she is looking for ways to get it off without useing lasers.

on the "its your body,do what you want with it" saying.now think of this.your partner is dead set against tattoos.he/she loves you to death,and as do you.do you really wanna upset them by getting a tattoo?do you really wanna take a chance on loseing that person?what about things that person used to enjoy that you didnt like?they most likely gave it up for you didnt they?what if your partner was like me,thier parents or family member dieing from a disease/virus that was caught by being tattooed?would you really want to remind them of that bad thing everytime they looked at you?

Well, personaly, I'm not a fan of tatoos. Most of them are either too small and look like some discolored birthmark... but aside from that, its a case of don't fix what ain't broken, it doesn't add to your visual appeal at all, so why do it? I don't know.

On the other hand, I wont judge a person for having a tatoo or two, it doesnt really bother me, but I dont encourage it.

And I'm the one who's obtuse.
Clothing isn't natural. Nor are replacement hips, most blonde hair, most medications, condoms, glasses, contact lenses, braces, nail polish, makeup, hair cut in the exact style you want, jewelry... need I go on? Shall we banish concealer, birth control, unnaturally straight teeth as well? Natural is not the issue. If you don't like tattoos, then you don't like tattoos, and I fully respect that - it'd be hypocritical of me to expect anybody to force an attraction - but don't make excuses for it. If you don't like something then you don't, but just as I don't expect you do find an 'unnatural' feature attractive, I wouldn't expect you to find oh-so-natural acne attractive either, just because it's not their fault. As much as some people might be cool with a lazy eye or a twisty leg or whatever, if the attraction's not there then it's not, regardless of it being natural. I'm talking about base sexual attraction. And don't call me stupid for finding beauty in what you don't and defending my position, because I respect your thoughts on the matter even if I don't agree. Honestly, I know people have the choice to respond either positively or negatively, and that's all I'm doing. And can I ask, how is my argument mundane when your's didn't go past, "it's unnatural"?

And about the person whose parents have Hep C, I'm truly sorry that your dad managed to find such a jerk of an artist, because it's artists like that that make the entire industry look bad, and no one should suffer like that just because they wanted a tattoo. Artists are supposed to use brand new needles on every customer.

H_ _l NO! I think tattoos are hideous! one small one on the ankle is not so bad, but NO MORE! I think it is just as bad as seeing a girl smoke. It makes them SO UNATTRACTIVE !!!!!!!!

I have 4 tattoos, including one that was my fiance's name. I love them and have every intention of getting more. Also I have found a wonderful Man who adores me, and accepts the name on my shoulder, he says i wouldnt be who i am today if it wasnt for him and is not at least offended by having someone else name on my body. they do hurt a little. but not a lot. but let me say this, tattoos have to be something you want, not just be curious about it , WANT IT

.....and your reading and comprehension skills are now suspect as well. Reread my post or find someone who CAN read and have them read it to you, nowhere in my post did I use the word "unatural", so yes actually you are the one who is obtuse.

Read: If skin problems are natural, as you say, then intentional disfigurement is unnatural. Unless, of course, I've somehow gotten completely turned around and you're implying that skin problems beyond someone's control is unnatural.
Top notch comeback, by the way. You made an excellent point. Really, it's actually a little upsetting to me that you're so rude as to not even take the time to respond to any point I made, just point out that it wasn't an exact quote.

Rude? You aint seen nothing yet...take solace in your tattoo's, they might cheer you up. My only point in my post was that your orginal comparison was idiotic. Although you are really reinforcing my argument about your ignorance by now trying to compare tattoo's to glasses and hip replacements - what will your next argument be? that tattoo's are the same and as necessary as say...heart surgery and dentures?

Idiotic, no. Not exact, true, but there aren't a lot of comparisons that are. I know tattoos aren't medically necessary, but that wasn't my point. I wasn't talking about necessity, I was talking about attraction. Take makeup or hair dye for the closest I can get. Neither are necessary or natural, but would you automatically dismiss somebody who chose to use them?

....if thats what you meant, then I would be inclined to agree with you. I certainly wouldnt dismiss a woman who had 1 or 2 tasteful and original tattoos. My father had tattoos back in the 60s, and I might have some too if they werent so damn trendy now - everyone seems to have one.

It was. And I tend to not like tattoos that are stereotypical and common now too - I mean, if I see kanji on one more English-speaking person who can't even read it, I might cry. But there are some amazing artists out there who will only do original work these days, like Steve Moore, Heather McLean, and lots of others.

Call me a snob, I don't care, I feel that women who get a tattoo, it brings them down a notch on the social ladder. I feel that they make a woman look "hard".
