| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/23/2007 6:06:50 PM | Just curious..... If you have a tattoo/piercing ( And this is SPECIFICALLY directed at the one's not everybody should ever see...) Do you just take it on faith that they'll understand? Hey, someone had to do it...... ever think about this? ( I'm not a prude, but think about it....) What's the reason you would show a total stranger something you probably wouldn't show anybody else on a first date? Were you just drunk, or did you think of long-term consequences? | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/23/2007 6:10:52 PM | Depends where and what it is. If a guy has a heart with 'MOM' tattooed on his willy, I'm going to be running... far away from him.
I don't have any weird tattoos or piercings nor would I get any, so I can't say. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/23/2007 8:33:55 PM | Ok:
my thoughts here, as I think they're relivant.
First of all we are in an age where society has changed how things are viewed and it has changed rather quickly. If you can't keep up to those changes you get left behind.
Everyone today has different views, morals, sexual preferences and so on and so forth.
Yesterdays "taboos" are considered today, as acceptable by society and diversity is openly embraced by many ! It is very important to keep an open mind and not be to critical about others choices, just because a woman has a tattoo on her lower back, doesn't make her a slut, as I've seen some women post in these forums.
In my opinion anything tastfully done is acceptable to me, I don't find women with piercings all over her face particularly attractive. I'm sure there are many women who view men who have done the same to their face, unattractive as well. That said I find a small nose piercing and or navel piercing quite subtle and attractive. Same thing goes with tattoos on women, I don't find women done up like billboard graffiti appealing, but 3,4 or even 5 tattooes that are tastefully done and positioned on various parts of the body, just adds to her beauty.
This swings both ways and I am not intending to spin this into a gender issue, as both men and women, a lot of them are getting pierced and/or tattooed.
I have 2 tattooes, my buddy owns a shop, does excellent work and follows the standard health practices. I just had my very first tat, recoloured and it didn't cost me a thing. Of course I've been referring friends and anyone else I talk to regarding tattoos and piercings to my friends shop. I'm planning on get 2 maybe 3 more tattoos, which will be a reflection of my personality done in places where I can conceal them on my body, with little effort.
This is how I view it and I'm sure a lot of people here will agree.
Cheers Paul | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/23/2007 11:43:07 PM | I don't regret any of the tattoos that I have. I never think about the future when it comes to a lover. If she likes/loves me, a "silly" picture on my body shouldn't worry her. I do have one tat that if I break up with my fiance, that some women won't like. That's my fiance's eyes on my body. I don't regret it and no matter what, I won't in the future. But some women might be upset with the history behind it. I have 3 tats that are visible, and 5 that are somewhat hidden, depending on the clothes I wear. If I go on a date, I would be open and let the woman know I do have some tats and if she's ok with it, great...if not, then it's not meant to be. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/25/2007 5:54:19 PM | | I should really let it go, and I will...... but the question is more directed at tattoos and piercings that are, well, "intimate". You can say whatever you want, however...... when the new guy in your life (or girl), sees it...... You think they aren't going to have any questions? If they never say it.....trust me, they THINK it....... If you're free enough to show a stranger everthing, how apt are you to show it to anybody else? Don't make fun.......it's a valid question...... SOME people don't like the thought of other people being able to casually see your body......... And you may very well get dumped over it........... | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/25/2007 6:02:46 PM | Out of my 11 piercings, only about two are clearly visible.
My view on piercings are... a guy has to accept me and all my piercings, and if he has a problem with it then he's not the one for me. Also if he seems to have a problem with the fact that a piercer saw my "privates" then he's too much of a prude for my liking anyway.
I'd think anyone that has genital piercings would think along the same lines- we tend to be more open minded and confident with our bodies and see it as an artform and well the artist needs to see the canva. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/25/2007 6:17:57 PM | | To each their own......... I'm not against free choice on what you do with your own body....... just be aware of the consequences......... I just wanted opinions on this. I could personally care less....... My next wife won't have a clit-ring, lol...... I have a choice too....... I'm not alone either........ | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/25/2007 7:14:33 PM | I think you just might miss out on your sould mate if that is your criteria..
what if you met someone and fell in love.. and a few weeks later it when it was time.. you found out she was pierced/tattooed? would you just get up and leave?
thats just ignorant. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/25/2007 8:42:21 PM | Wow this thread topic just blows me away. Why did you ask this question if you are going to bash everyone with an opinion different than your own? Just because you don't view tattoos or piercings as art. If you didn't believe earth revolves around the sun that wouldn't make it stop.
I have piercings and a tattoo, you can't see any other than my ears in my pictures. I have had relationships and noone EVER cared about them. I have never gotten complaints or lost out on a date because of them. Even if I did SO WHAT, who wants to date someone that would judge them on something so unimportant. My piercings and tattoo do not make me who I am. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 9:16:25 AM | Hey, the guy who started this thread is now saying he's wiser because he's 41. Yet he can't figure out why people like tats and piercings. Too closed minded in my opinion. NOt to mention very negative. My guess is a hot chick dumped him because he didn't like her tat or piercing....or maybe she wanted one and he said no, but she got one anyway to piss him off. Who knows

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 9:48:40 AM | | I got my tat's for me and noone else I chose the design to represent me, not my boyfriend, parent's or anyone else, and I would think that the person I went to to get my tat was a very clean and a total profesional, It would be like going to a doctor or even better a ob. I did think of the long term consequences and when i'm 80 I really will not care what I look like I will be more happy with who I am, what I have done to leave my mark on this world and how my children will make a difference. as of now I am young and am enjoying my life getting my art help's me to express who I am, and I am not ashamed of my body my tat's are in place's that can be hidden or if I want to show them off I can with the person who I want to be with because when your in a relationship you do not date them for there look's your with them for the whole package, tat or piercing's included. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 10:33:16 AM | | I'm not sure I got the point of your posts as they didn't come across very clear, but...Tattoos and piercings are usually gotten for personal reasons; it's why I got mine...and while mine are where they can be seen in public without showing anything I shouldn't, if they were in an intimate area, then only one who was close to me would ever see it in addition to me. As far as what 'society' thinks about them, I didn't get them for society, I got them for me, so society can go fish ;) | |

Posted: 1/26/2007 11:21:07 AM | | milehigh are you going to let your next wife get a pap smear??? her vajayjay will be showing but again it could save her life are you cool with that or do you still need to live in the dark age and think that no man or women has ever seen a virgina before???? | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 11:53:51 AM | I felt I had to post on this issue. Ive experinced mostly the positive but actually had to leave a relationship because of My continued desire to pierce My penis. After I had My first barbell(frenum) the girlfriend became very unsure of the idea of mounting Me with a c#ck full of metal. Bye bye to her....
Although, it all worked out in the end right j? | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 12:14:38 PM | My tattoos are in places- that can be covered up. ONLY because- its harder to find a job with tatoos, & some of my family- don't "approve" of tattoos- so to be respectful to them- and still be myself- I do have them in places that can be covered. If I am dating a guy- that doesn't like my tatoos- well- he'll just have to deal with them-(its not like they rub off) OR simply go find another chic- that doesn't have tatoos. Haven't ran into that problem yet.. I'm sure one day I might... BUT There are plenty of girls out there that don't have tatoos- or peircings- and he can just keep going...if its a problem. I have two peircings- my eyebrow and my toungue- .. and I don't wear neither to work.. and usually just when I go out. I personally think tatoos are sexier when they can be covered up. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 1:02:01 PM | | My tattoo is visible if I wear a skirt, etc... it's on my left leg, not hiding it. No point. You can see all but one of my piercings easily... and the one that isn't easily visible is a curiosity to most of the men I have talked with about it. Most are like.. wow.. cool.. never seen one of those in person. And most don't see mine either as I don't show it off to everyone. If someone doesn't like it... TFB 'cause it isn't coming out!! I'm not overloaded with hardware, but I have it for ME and no other reason. I am happy to tell the story of the whole event to if they want to hear it... it's all rather clinical actually. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 4:55:24 PM | | yeah I agree with the majority here what is the point of the guy starting this post and then bagging all the answers.... the bottom line is if someone has piercings or tattoos and they meet someone that has an issue with these things then that person is not the one for them ... I have tattoos and "private piercings" they are something I chose to do and are a part of me now for me personnally when making contact thru here I am honest about what I am and have otherwise why waste time dating someone that does not like them, it is not going to lead to a long term thing, you cant have a relationship if your not compatiable and most importantly honest about things | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/26/2007 6:12:21 PM | | I have a tattoo in a very hidden area, I think to which he was referring. And yes, it was put there by a man. I paid to have it put on,and if he couldn't be professional enough to realize that this was another job, not a sexual encounter, I would not have chosen him to tattoo me. No one I have ever slept with has been offended that a man tattooed me. If any guy was, then that is a level of jealous that no one should be forced to endure. i have two other tattoos, and nipples pierced also. Believe me, sexual anything was the last thought on my mind while having needles driven into flesh. The tattooist and the piercer were too busy laughing at my whining to be aroused. | |

| Piercings/tatoos... think about future relationships? Posted: 1/27/2007 1:08:25 AM | the only differance between tatood/pierced people and non t/b people is .... people who have them dont care if others dont ...but people without them make it a lifes work to ridicule ...if we were all the same the world wud be boring | |
