Lakeside_runner Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I have a short question: what do you ladies think of guys who have a tattoo? I was meaning getting a tattoo for quite some time now. It would be the so called third song of the path in japanese kanji which roughly translates to: Rely on Aiki to activate all manifest powers: Pacify your environment and create a beautiful world! For those who don't know - it is related to Aikido, a Japanese martial art. It has a much more deeper meaning to me than just getting a kanji that says: 'truth' or 'dragon' etc. I was thinking of placing that on my back, between my shoulders...
Barky Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 ehhhhhhh.... I don't know a whole lot of chicks who would be down with that unless you're 6'5" and ripped to all hell.
USMCHokie Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I am also curious to hear what ladies have to say about this...
Barky Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Short answer, if you're muscular, you can get away with tats, though they very rarely "enhance" the look of the body. If you're skinny or fat, don't attempt tats. You'll look like a douche.
Trimmer Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 If you get it on your lower back, the chicks really dig that....
USMCHokie Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Ooh, a tramp stamp on the ol' spare tire. Sounds good. Hmmm...excellent...I'll write this down...
meerkat stew Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Just double and triple check the kanji if you aren't a native Japanese speaker. You could end up with a McDonalds dollar menu on your back otherwise.

You could end up with a McDonalds dollar menu on your back otherwise. Wait...this isn't cool...?!? But seriously...this is good advice...especially if your tattoo artist isn't Japanese...make sure those characters are exactly as you want them...I went through several sources and people before I went to my artist...
Crazy Magnet Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I like tattoos on men. But yeah, some muscle definition is needed for sure!
meerkat stew Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Wait...this isn't cool...?!? Hahaha, it is kind of cool, wonder what the kanji for "two apple pies" looks like? Read an article about it somewhere, maybe even on the net, about people getting what they thought was a "Tao" "truth" or "courage" tatt and having it end up being "round-eye," "gweilo" or some other funny disparaging thing.
SoulSearch_CO Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I think it sounds cool, LR. I like it when people get tatts that have meaning and that one sounds very cool. How large is this tatt going to be? ehhhhhhh.... I don't know a whole lot of chicks who would be down with that unless you're 6'5" and ripped to all hell. Do you have a vagina? Then I don't think he was asking you.
Malenfant Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 tattoos should be about personal expression. get the tattoo for you. My H has tattoos and i like them. unless they cover your whole body i dont think they add or detract. just make sure you get it done well. nothing worse than a bad tattoo.
Stitch Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I really love tattoos as long as they are tasteful. I mean if a guy I was interested in was plastered in provocative women tats, I'd definitely be turned off. One's that have meaning or convey personal expression are awesome. I wouldn't be turned off by huge ones either.
Satisfaction Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Oh yea. Tattoos are great I can't visualize what it looks like but i'm sure it will be nice. Plus its a perfect excuse to whip off your shirt !!
Lizzie60 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Go for it.. if you like it... it doesn't matter what people like or not.. I personally don't care for tattoos.. (small and where they don't show too much)... I hate large colourful tattoos that cover full body parts.. My last bf had one on his penis: it read 'SWAN' but once erected.. you could read 'SASKATCHEWAN'...
Leia Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Do you have a vagina? Then I don't think he was asking you. :lmao: I say GO FOR IT! Tattoos are hot on men, especially tattoos that has a story behind them. I love to watch Miami Ink. Some of the stories on there made me cry!
greatgirlfriend Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Depends on where it is. If it's on the arm and small I can deal with that. Other places, depends on what it is. If it's a big tattoo or you are heavily tattoo says trash to me and no I wouldn't date.
DiscoChick Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 As long as it represents something important to you, and tattoos aren't important when I'm interested in the guy, as long as they aren't on his face or neck or depicting racist stuff. I have a tattoo of a cross on my right shoulder blade. It's the size of my palm. Nobody sees it unless they catch me in my pajamas or they see me naked (not going to happen). I got my tattoo because I saw the design and wanted it.
USMCHokie Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Plus its a perfect excuse to whip off your shirt !! Hmmm...yay...!
Citizen Erased Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I've recently become very much in favour of tattoos. Go for it.
meerkat stew Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 My last bf had one on his penis: it read 'SWAN' but once erected.. you could read 'SASKATCHEWAN'... Hahahaha , mine says "SUPERIOUS" and at the right time, "SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS." hum diddle iddle iddle hum diddle I
Orchid8 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Short answer, if you're muscular, you can get away with tats, though they very rarely "enhance" the look of the body. If you're skinny or fat, don't attempt tats. You'll look like a douche. Agreed! Tats on men who are in shape is a turn on but no sleeves or all over tattoos as they look too busy.
SOLACEMENT Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Hahahaha , mine says "SUPERIOUS" and at the right time, "SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS." hum diddle iddle iddle hum diddle I Thats a huge wrinkle...
GoneButNotForgotten Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Most girls that ask about mine, seem to really get more interested when I can explain to them the personal meanings behind them.
