I've noticed since I've become more heavily tattooed that people have a lot more to say about it than when I only had a few that were even visible.

For the guys - Would it bother you enough not to date someone? Are you the conservative type that could NEVER bring a girl like me home to Mom? (If you are, do the tattoos secretly give you a half chub?)

Yes, these are serious questions!

For everyone - I know tattoos come with a stigma but doesn't the actual artwork and the quality of the artwork count for something?

I am going to ask NICELY that anyone who thinks that people with tattoos are trash, PLEASE stay out of my thread. I really don't appreciate that kind of negativity.

I love tats..I have 5

Do you ever feel looked down on because of them?

Oh yea.plenty.you are not alone.
There will always be Haters.
I am getting more.
Opinions are like Azzholes, Everybody has one.

i have 7 and no matter who you are or where yopu go there will be someone that looks at them and or you as bad when i walk in stores ive had lots of women look at me strange and change their purse to the other side of them and grip it tight

and they all stink

To me, doesn't matter if a woman has tats or not. I don't judge anyone for wanting to do it. I don't have any, but then again, just haven't done it because it never striked me to do it.

If I met a woman with tats, and we hit it off, I would be more focused on her....rather than the artwork. Hell, who am I to judge her for what she chose to do? If she can accept my dorky butt, then I can surely accept her for who she is.

But you are right. Their is a stigma about tat's and that women who have them are trashy. I guess this comes from Biker chicks and the stigma that they are all slutty and tatted up?

Anyways. Never dated a girl who was covered in tats. They don't normally like Goof's. Haha!

"Love lasts forever but a tattoo lasts six months longer."


...more power to you sister, I think you look beautiful and anyone who would hesitate to know you because of your body art deserves to have rocks thrown at him...really BIG rocks...

i think tats and peircings on a woman is sexy as hell

I've dated tons of guys with tatts.

The last soldier I dated was covered in them. Honestly. It was crazy but you're right girl .. lots of good art. Just because you choose to use your body to display that art should not be a reason to be hated on.

I think they are cool

I FULL on chub (aka girlie wood) when I see quality tatts on a man or a women!

Body art doesn't bother me in the least... I don't think my mom would care either, haha.

For me, it matters what the art is of and the meaning/purpose behind it. And since it's a more interpretive form of communication, I often ask the "owner" why they got it... if the "owner" is important to me, that is.

:edit: chubs is for the person... not what they're wearing, js.

Thanks! I love my tattoos and my artist does gorgeous work. I can understand why some tattoos might look trashy based on their quality. Just wondering if people see them as trashy regardless of the quality? I mean what if Van Gogh was a live today and chose skin instead of canvas?

i like to see tats that tell something or the person designed for something special the tats i dont like is like ya see people with the nike emblem on their arm

I don't have a problem with them. Didn't there used to be a girl on here who had a tattoo on her back that said "Ride Em Porkchop".........

Yeah I hear ya. A few of mine are celtic designs and my half sleeve was drawn specifically for my by my artist. The 5 roses stand for the members of my family and of course, Mom in the middle. Dare anyone to find a prettier Mom tattoo than mine

Now thats a tatoo a man can apritiate

i like your work its not mindless

I wouldn't worry to much about it. People are always going to be azzholes. I get the same chit over my hair and earing......
