| TATTOO'S do they make me less appraochable
Posted: 3/6/2006 7:48:59 PM | I only have two.. one on my right forearm and another on my left shoulder. I always wanted one but when I was married my wife hated them.. Needless to say I got the first one about three months after we split up :)
The one I have on my forearm is a wizard and across the top is my kids birthsigns. I've been told it's a really nice one and found even gals who don't like tats quite like it once they realize what it was.
They do make nice conversation pieces.. personally I wouldn't get a ton but that's just my preference. Interesting to read that so many people here think that guys with them are super nice.. I dunno why but I hadn't really thought about that before.
Later! | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 8:06:33 PM | Personally I think tattoos are hot,and a way of expressing yourself in a form of art.
But I understand the whole unapproachable thing as I have 4 tattoos and piercings.I have found that people,well for me ( men ) have shyed away from me because of it.Does it make us "different" umm no i don't think so but to some it's not appropriate.Do I care,hell no..it's part of who i am and that will not change... | |

My opinion on tatoos...
They make people more approachable, however less attractive.
That's only applicable for middle and upper class women that are smart, educated and have class. No so to the other kind of women and they are probably in the majority. Not a desirable majoritly to smart educated men, but a majority nevertheless. | |

Mmm, gonna have to respectfully disagree here. Previous posters have noted, correctly, that the social stigma surrounding tattoos isn't what it used to be. I've dated plenty of intelligent, educated, classy women. So of them had ink; some of them didn't. I'm a network engineer, and my educational vitae isn't too shabby, either. I'm dating an accountant from a major engineering firm up in Seattle. Plenty of smart, educated men have tattoos. And plenty of smart, classy, educated women either have them, or don't care. | |

Molonel, you may be right. I've noticed that most of your posts are very good. Also, you have more experience than I have. It is just that I have not noticed it in the people I associate with. I will admit that I'm attending a religious based University and even attended religious based elementary and high schools. They may not be representative of the U.S. as a whole. | |

I can relate. I graduated from Wheaton College, the alma mater of Billy and Ruth Graham. Quirky fact: it's also the alma mater of Wes Craven, the creator of the Nightmare on Elm Street films. I know the folks down at Bob Jones University like to think of us as heretics and liberals, but it was still a very conservative college to attend.
And don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of people - men and women, alike - who think that only sailors, strippers and criminals have tattoos. There are also plenty of places in the world - Thailand, some parts of Japan, some parts of Africa, etc. - where tattoos are associated with the criminal element. In the corporate world, it varies from company to company. If I were to do a contract at IBM, you can bet I'd keep 'em covered under a starched white dress shirt and a tie. At Intel, nobody cares if you've got blue hair and a septum piercing. When I'm bidding for a job, I'll assume the worst until I know otherwise, and even then, I don't always "let my hair down," so to speak.
But, in the United States, they have become much more mainstream. | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 1:57:11 PM | I have somewhere around 50 pieces, and still collecting, so I can speak from first hand knowledge here. Many people do find them intimidating, which makes you unapproachable to them. Those who find it interesting, sexy, or just intriguing are the people you want to meet anyway. I consider my ink work not only a part of my person and my soul, but a sort of "keep off the grass" sign for idiots, primadonnas, bigots, and the ignorant.
And yes, that is a real piece on my hand in the pic over there <----- | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 3:22:13 PM | Tattoo's don't make a person less anything......it's all in the attitude and confidence level.
Hold your head up high, be confident and put on a smile. Thats what's sexy and makes you approachable. | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 4:31:46 PM | If You like art and Paint Go for it ...Just remember make sure and be Happy with what you get they Last Forever ..And removing them may very well leave a scare ....When you have them there part of you !!!
So anyone that wants to be with you will actually have to like them ....Or look the other way ...
Warning Older people in certain situations will look at you funny in the weirdest places so if you go somewhere 5 star where a shirt and cover up...Some do treat us different because of them ...As far as im concerned though they can KISS My A$$ | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 5:02:45 PM | i think tatts are sexy...
if you are doing it because you love it... then who cares what some women think.. there are obviously lots of women that will still approach you. and you aren't going to want those who turned off by the tatts anyways. | |

Posted: 3/9/2006 4:39:52 PM | I personally think tattoos are an incredible turn on. if your not getting them as a fashion statement.
Each of mine has a special meaning and I am sure yours do to... My boyfriend has a few and I love to look at them when we have intimate encounters together. it shows me he isnt afraid to be artistic and can put a lifetime commitment into something...
I wouldnt worry unless you are going after the church girl or a prude.
good luck.

Posted: 3/9/2006 5:14:57 PM | Hell no. I love ink. I only have two, but I've been designing tattoos since I was 16. I'm 24. Most of my friends have a piece of my work on them.. my roommate just got one and she's got another I designed ready for her.
Ink is about self-expression. I like knowing what inspired each image. | |
