Posted: 4/23/2009 9:13:36 PM | | Ok lets see this is my first thread thing. My question is what is the deal with people being so negative when it comes to woman and tattoos? i have over 40 tattoos (they can all be covered if need be) when i start talkin to a new person they ask that question how many tatts do i have and when i say how many, they get scared and stop talking to me. Im not assamed and dont regret any of mine. I just wish someone could explain this whole negative outlook | |

I could sit here and tell you all about why men in general don't like tattoos on women. But if i did i would prob' stir up a argument that i have already been through and do not care to go any farther with. Click the link and start reading from there.

Posted: 4/23/2009 11:30:02 PM | I have reserves talking to men that don't have any. So I guess it goes both ways! I put up on my profile that I have visible tattoos just to let everyone know right away. I'd rather my man have tats but where I'm from that doesn't happen often. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 10:38:32 AM | Sometimes it just looks trashy. I personally don't mind that much, and in fact there was one case where I actually liked a certain girl and thought that her tattoos enhanced her beauty (she had tattoos all over her body pretty much) but that's a rare case. When you think of women and tattoos, usually the first thing to come to mind is biker chicks.
And nobody likes biker chicks. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 12:33:09 PM | | As the above poster said "Before this thread goes....bah bye." I will go ahead and say this and get it over with. There are more men that don't like tats on women than they are that do. Just read the link i have already posted and you will find out. The big turn off for most men are tit tats. In a lot of guys eyes they make a woman look trashy whether you are or not. That's the way it comes off. Also the lower back "tramp stamp". Guys know there are a lot of sorry women out there that get these things. So they steer clear of these. What i have said here is the truth. This is the way that the grand majority of men look at it. I'm not going to argue it with anyone. People get offended when you point out the truth to them. They go out here and get these things because they they liked the design or because they say that they mean something to them. They don't stop to think about how it is going to come across to other people. One last thing. Boob tats' Most men are attracted to a woman's breast. Just the nature of a man . It's hard wired into us from birth to be attracted to the sight' size' feel' of a woman breast. When you put a tat on it you have taken away what most guys are attracted to. When they look at a woman's chest with this bill board permanently attached to it it is a visual turn off. Remember' You asked the question. Not trying to be mean. Just telling the truth. I hope you wanted a honest answer. | |

My question is what is the deal with people being so negative when it comes to woman and tattoos?
I should probably just copy/paste this and save it for the next thirty times this topic comes up. Anyway, here's my answer:
I think they look trashy/ugly/bad. It's an aesthetic preference. I'd rather see skin than ink, thanks. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 4:13:21 PM | There will be men that find them sexy, there will be men like the above that will call them trashy.
It all depends on the way you carry yourself, and the way the tattoos represent you. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 4:51:17 PM | | honestly when considering the number of girls who are geting tattoo's these days or allready have some . i'm surpised its still much of an issue , you think people be geting more used to seeing them with tattoo's , i'd honestly suspect at least 1 in 2 girls has at least some sort of small tattoo these days , i think its that commom among the younger women . | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 5:40:00 PM | for me it's because it's a huge fad; my friend owns a tat shop and he now removes more than he does. He said it's one of the growing businesses in the u.s.
It's like piercing; that was the huge thing and now thats passed.
Women are beautiful; especially when they are young; tats for me are ugly and destroy the beauty of a woman. most do it for attention and to be seen; thats their thing.
guys have the right not to be into tats; you do your thing; it's a free country; but get over the fact that some guys aren't into it. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 6:49:08 PM | I think far too many people put little thought into their tats, doing it just because everyone else is doing it. That's bad.
I have many tattoos and I've had them done for *me* nobody else. People who see my tattoos (2 are visible) and immediately say they don't like tattoos are expressing an unsolicited opinion, so now I just smile and say thank you. Because like it or not, the comment is directed at *me* and is unnecessary. But I'm not interested in changing their opinions in the least, it doesn't matter to me what they think.
I really can't speak for the rest of the male population. All I can say is that I only need one guy and that guy better like them because they sure aren't coming off my body.
So enjoy your tats and know that there is one fish in the sea that will like you for who you are, tats and all...
ps: asking to explain the negative feeling towards tattoos is pointless. Who cares?
pps: you may consider changing the all caps on your profile, it's like you're shouting. | |

This statement is very true. Guys for the most part' Me also' have a hard time understanding why a beautiful woman or young girl would want such a thing on there body. It doesn't add one bit to there looks. If anything it detracts. A lot of times i feel like women do this because they have low self esteem. There not comfortable in there own bodies. When guys are really looking at them and thinking how beautiful they are just the way they are there looking at themselves as ugly and in need of something to make them feel better about themselves. The part about getting attention i also believe is true to. Even if it's the wrong attention. You also hear a lot of them say that they did it because it had meaning to them. Well' There are better ways of remembering grandmother or grandfather' mom or dad or who ever or whatever. A scrap book is a good idea for starters. At least your not permanently changing your body. It's hard enough to find good people now to date and make a relationship. But when you ink your body you cut down even more the amount of dates you could have. I know' You might say you wouldn't go out with a guy that feels that way anyway. Well' You wouldn't have to worry about that anyway. He prob' wouldn't ask. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 8:17:42 PM | PFFFT, Ok Eddie! Guys that are that closed minded are not for me so I am glad my tats weed out men such as that. And I am sure others with body art feel the same way!
Please. The few men I have met that claim to be turned off by my tats usually end up not caring once they know me. One man in particular totally ripped me apart for having tats and an industrial piercing. He got to know me and now he's totally turned on by them.
Seriously, if someone thinks it's gross or that I have low self-esteem because of my body art I'm happy. I would never want to be with someone that clueless.
<div class="quote"> Well' You wouldn't have to worry about that anyway. He prob' wouldn't ask. WRONG! You'd never know most had tats until it was too late! You think if you fell for someone before knowing they had tats your opinion would change? Highly unlikely and if it did, that's sad. | |

What, you didn't call him "ignorant" too? That's another popular one to use on someone that disagrees with you, and just as devoid of meaning. Look--not liking tattoos doesn't make someone closed minded. It's a preference. They've seen tattoos and prefer unspoiled skin. Calling us closed minded for not liking tattoos is no different than calling someone ignorant for having a different taste in music--you're allowed to disagree, but start slinging the PC buzz-words, and you've crossed the line into open hostility. | |

WRONG!! Most of them ware them like a billboard. Look at the questioners picture. Proof right there. So far i have never met not one woman that can hide them. On these threads they claim they can. But that's bullshyt. The reason being they always seem to put them right where any guy can see them. Right on there chest or there lower back. The first place they know that guys look. They want them to be seen. There proud of them for some unknown reason. They want them to be seen because they think it will get them attention. And when the attention is negative they get defensive. As far as tats on a woman i make it a point to know right from the start. Just like most guys that feel like body art is unattractive. You guys can have it. I'm not going to argue this again. There is no point. | |

Metal it cracks me up how close MINDED YOU ARE! You think its your right to make guys be into your tats; who are you? what gives you the right to tell him what to like and not like.
You love the conflict and attention that you get from tats; I'm not into them at all but I do agree with a couple of posters; to some its very important and has great meaning.
Most young girls like you do it to be seen and for drama.
You are the clueless one; ink that fades on skin isn't hot or sexy; talk about close minded.
Tats are a fad that you follow; thats cool; thats your thing; but this insecure thing that all must accept it and like it is pathetic. | |

Couldn't have said it better myself. Women with tats' If you disagree with them' They get almost "Hitlerish" | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 1:02:13 AM | I think you guys are all missing the point and making this more dramatic than it needs to be. If a guy doesn't like a chic with tattoos or vice-versa then that's fine. To each their own. But I don't think METAL was saying that there is something wrong with that but something wrong with the logic behind it. Hear me out, many of you have said that women who get tatts do it for attention, low self-esteem, the drama, etc. These assumptions were made without even really knowing the person. In my opinion that is being judgemental and now people are being stereotyped even further as if we don't have enough stereotypes to deal with. If you don't like it because you think it's unattractive and makes no sense then fine but don't automatically start judging a person because of it.
It's like when some people see an overweight person, they find it unattractive but then assume they are overweight because they are lazy, eat too much, don't care about themselves and so forth. But what many don't realize is that there are at least 13 different medical conditions that can effect a person weight that have nothing to with them being lazy, eating too much or what not.
My point is that we can't go around being judgemental and making assumptions about people without really knowing the person. Even though if at times these so called assumptions may hold some truth to it. In the end they are still just what they are, assumptions. Okay, so you may not want to date them but does that stop you from being friends with them or does that make them any less of person for it? | |

...i have over 40 tattoos (they can all be covered if need be)...
That pretty much says it all right there. If even you feel like there may be a need to cover them up, why would you think a man would feel any different??
As for me, it depends on the tattoos and where they're placed. I don't have a genuine "dislike" for tattoos, but I wouldn't want to be with a woman who's all tatt'd up, either. Funny thing is, I can deal w/ tattoos on a woman anywhere except below her shoulder(s). I think her arms should be free and clear. Now I do have a a genuine dislike for zombie tatts, skulls, daggers, crosses, sledgehammers, and other such nonsense. (Maybe throw fairies and butterflies in there, too.) I love a nice long dragon, though! A dragon that stretches from her ankle to her neck would suit me just fine! LOL
The comedian Margaret Cho is tatt'd up, but it's tasteful. I like her tatts (and tits.) LOL Somebody mentioned guys not liking tit tats. I like them; as long as she got them BEFORE she was with me. I don't much care for the tramp stamp when it's out there for the world to see, though I have seen some really nice, respectable young ladies with them. I prefer it just peek out from under her shirt or over her jeans. ;) I caught a glimpse of one on a lady I wouldn't have expected to have one, and I had a "reaction." | |

| GIRLS AND TATTOOS
Posted: 4/25/2009 10:11:20 AM | I think I'm reasonably qualified to answer this one...
First off, my G/F has a couple of Tatoos... A very large one that dominates her upper body, and a smaller "tramp stamp"... Her daughters also have tats.... One I liked, the other does look 'trashy' to my point of view... (my opinion, sorry...)
One other girl I dated had a small 'pubic' tat...
All of these can, with a bit of work be covered...
I also, was not interested in a tattooed partner before I met these two.... I do love to look at my G/F's bigger Tat... it's unique and has a very real 'reason' and purpose... the smaller 'tramp stamp' is cute but does nothing for me one way or the other...
I personally don't have any... not interested, never was, still aren't....
That being said, Ok... my perspective, is that getting a tattoo for a 'reason' is one thing.... 40+ tattoos implies 40+ 'reasons'... I can't imagine having 40+ 'reasons' to do too much of anything... It kind of seems silly.... and a bit like overkill....
To put it in perspective, it says in your profile you have a car... I'll assume it's a decent car and not a beater... would you paint a large (proportionate to the relative difference in car body size to human body size) picture of one of your tattoos on it?
How about 40+ of them....?
Or on your house...?
Again, some people do put a nice airbrushed painting on a car... or truck, vehicle whatever... but it' usually one or at the most a couple of pics... but 40+?????? Seriously...?
That being said, the Ex hates her tattoo... my current G/F likes hers....
Now it was brought up about self-esteem issues, both of these women too came from dysfunctional backgrounds... and both had severe self-esteem issues at the times they got them... whether or not this is indicative I don't know... my sampling pool is too small to determine anything from it....
I think it really comes down to preferences, as it has been said, many men prefer a pristine breast, or female form... Look at Playboy, the girls are carefully photographed and retouched to remove 'abnormalities' they are as close to an ideal as is possible... Why? Because they appeal to the largest number of men... I could be wrong, but I don't think there's ever been a Centerfold with and large Tattoos... there were a few with small delicate ones.... but that's all I've ever seen...
Another aspect, that is a concern, to me would be the 'marketability' of some people with Tats.... like it or not, they can be an issue when it comes to finding some types of employment... You say yours can be covered... some Tats can't be... And to be quite honest, a lot of them DO show through clothing... especially under different lighting conditions, (something my G/F was shocked to realise - she thought they were invisible because they didn't show in her bathrom mirror...)
That being said, she has been told for a couple of jobs, they didn't want to hire her because of her 'image' when it comes to the clientele she would be involved with... (medical facility - older patients) Her daughters have also been turned down for a couple of jobs due to piercings and tats.... Any guy who is thinking of the future is going to wonder about whether or not you can earn a decent living.... or is all your future going to be factory jobs, boutiques and hair salons... You don't tend to see a lot of heavily tattoed executives, male or female.... Might not be fair or politically correct, but it's still reality....
And to be fair, maybe not in your area, but around mine, tattooing does seem to be a dying fad... I've been noticing lately, a lot of people with those small scars from removed facial piercings... and even from laser marks from recently removed Tats... A couple of the local tatoo places, including the place my G/F had hers done.. have closed up..., one hasn't but they also offer Tattoo removals now in their signage...
Even those people selling removable "henna" treatments have gone the way of the dinosaur...
My G/F gave up on her piercing... her daughters have removed all of theirs too...
My Ex is looking at getting hers removed...
My kids have zero interest... | |

Posted: 4/25/2009 10:21:26 AM | | my experience is that only certain kinda guys like tatoos. Usually the kind that go to jail and get into alot of trouble. The gals that get them are usually drugies and slutty, so that is what I have heard, what have you heard. They also make you look hard and not very femine. | |
