TaraMaiden Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I'd like to get a tattoo of myself, over my whole body, only taller. :laugh: Oh damn, me too!!
Shakz Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 :laugh: Oh damn, me too!! I heard a comedian tell that one years ago, and I always remembered it.
Ruby Slippers Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I've always been kind of a purist about this. I think the human body is beautiful and don't want to sully it with ink. Plus, I am immediately skeptical of anything too trendy. But the last guy I dated had several tattoos on his arms, back, and torso, and I thought they were very hot. It also helped that he was lean and fit, and they just curved around his muscles in all the right ways. And he had really good work with rich colors. I also went with him on his birthday to get a new tattoo, and that was fun, and being with a tattooed man did make me reconsider the idea of getting one of my own. Of course, he was all for it. They are so common now, I don't think you can leap to conclusions about people based on them (trashy, bad, delinquent ). I would never rule someone out because he did or did not have tattoos. I mean, if the artwork was terrible, that would be a turnoff, but otherwise it'd be fine, and maybe even desirable.
OceanTropic Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Tattoos for me are a big turn off, but I have friends who love em! My current boyfriend has tattoos, and I am appalled by them. They aren't even creative, just random for the sake of having tattoos. He knows I don't like them, but I am not going to break up with a guy just because he has tattoos. Personally, I don't like them. Its hard for me to get intimate when all I see is ink on his skin, I dont even kiss him on his back anymore after he got his recent tattoo. Bleh!

If you don't find them attractive and it prevents you kissing certain areas because you are that repulsed-why are you with him? If I didn't like my man's tattoos-(hypothetically) I wouldn't stick around, because it's not fair that he knows a certain part of him disgusts me, turns me off, I'd want the majority of him, hopefully all of him to turn me on, and not be driven to distraction (in a bad way). I'd love to be driven to distraction by him in a good way :o:love:

No one is perfect anyways, you can't love 100% of anyone you date, there is always a flaw or something that you learn to live with.

I suppose- just seems a big thing to purposefully avoid it because it repulses you- everyone has flaws, but most people aren't necessarily turned off by them and avoid them. JMHO.
akeshabelle Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Tattoos drive me WILD. I have been almost uncontrollably attracted to men that weren't even that good looking, but they had great tats. LOL
Lizzie60 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Yay if you have a young skin.. but we all know that skin doesn't keep it's freshness then I say NAY..NAY.. NAY... tattooes look awful on wrinkled skin... beeeurk!
ally12 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 YAY x100 im into the musician,long hair, dirty scruffy look and they usually have tattoos
jason83 Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I have a tattoo on my forearm and one on my upper arm. I've never had a gf have a problem with either one, but then again I got them both when I was single so anyone I ever dated only knew me with them. I'm 27 and got my first at 22. It was one of those things I just always wanted to do and had a deep, personal tattoo idea I was able to bring to life on my skin. I got my forearm tattooed last year. They are addicting. I love the feeling of getting tattooed and love tattoos in general. But I know they're not for everyone. I have dated girls with tattoos and girls without. My current gf has 3 and I really like hers. But honestly my feelings for her wouldn't change if she had more tattoos or less tattoos. I will say I don't like a girl covered in tattoos. The chest area tattoo is one I never liked at all, personally
SincereOnlineGuy Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I've become interested in tattoos - and I think the right one on the right person looks pretty friggin' awesome. I'm thinking of getting a shoulder tattoo or back tattoo - one that's easily covered up for work but then I can just not care and display to the world when off work. :cool: So what's the general opinion on tattoos as they relate to dating? Yay? Nay? Meh? You probably don't want to date the person who makes the sort of decision it takes to have prominent body art adorning their body. Of course it isn't the particulars about the art that is the concern, instead it is the underlying factors involved in deciding "yes" to the question of whether or not to have that body art applied there. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand of course you're going to be just about the last one to figure out that you didn't want to date that person. You just don't need somebody else's serious issues, and if dating is a percentages game, the non-emotionally-invested move would be to keep the percentages in your favor. (now of course if the cute girl who works across from your cubicle has a tramp stamp, and you've alway wanted to bone her, then your ideas of right, wrong, and percentages will be skewed significantly by the underlying fact that you've always wanted to bone her)
Feelin Frisky Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Rule of thumb? Tatoos are ALWAYS as subtraction, never an addition. It's a selfish act which demands and directs people's eyes to some self-inflicted blemish. The beauty is in the canvas. Clothes and make-up changes are for differentiation. Tatoos are cheaply bought bravado which fools the tatooee theat they are somehow enhanced. Wrong, just a little closer to jailbirds--in the joint or in the mind.
Mr White Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I'm a free spirit. Screw the majority. Some might recoil at the sight of my unadorned flesh, but a discerning few still crave the exotic, tattoo-free woman. Haha, excellent. Yes, tattoos these days are a lame commercialized way to be rebelious between the shifts of the entry level service job . As such, they are as ubiquitous as any other staple of douchbaggery, and as rebellious as a polyester pants with perma-crease..
Crazy Magnet Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I love tattoos on nicely shaped men! lol I could sit around and drool over one for quite a while. I've never had a LTR with a man that has tattoos though. I personally have tattoos and while I haven't met any men who just LOVE women with tattoos nobody has ever decided not to date me based on my ink. My tats aren't what you would typically find on anybody, they are custom with a lot of personal meaning behind them. It's hard to not want to get another one but have nothing else to commemorate in my life so my tattooing days might be over. I know they will be wrinkly one day, but by the time I'm that old I seriously won't care or be prancing around in a bikini at that point anyway.
O'Malley Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I'm not interested in being tattooed myself, but I have dated and am currently with someone who has them. Only real turnoff for me would be a ex's name or image, always a bad idea imo. As another poster stated, so many people have them you can't make much of a determination about background or character based on that fact alone. Reconsider getting inked if you're overly concerned what your family/employer/prospective dates would think about it.
Ilovecake Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Depend on the tattoos. I don't care either way but I do have tattoos myself so they better be OK with tattooed girls. Good original artwork can be pretty hot, a Tasmanian devil on your butt no so much. [FONT=Calibri][sIZE=3] [/sIZE][/FONT]
taiko Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Didn't like them when I started seeing a large percentage of club dancers start to wear them 15 years ago. Today every teenager and her grandmother has them. I've been watching Filipino TV and every month another woman celeb starts to show theirs while the men get ever larger and more elaborate ink. Girls are posting temporary henna tats on their facebook. Its only a matter of a couple years until another nation's women look like ours. So like it or not if I lost my wife I will have to accept them because I will have no ther choice.
Mia-n-Bk Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Its a personal preference...personally I love them I only have three small ones. I plan to get more but only in decret places.I think a man with tattoos is soooo sexy:love:.The only time I dont find a tat on a man sexy is when is a tat of his ex-girlfriends name, thats a total deal breaker for me.
Engadget Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Tattoos are cool, but the problem is they're so trendy now everyone has them, making them a lot less cool.
Ruby Slippers Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Tattoos are cool, but the problem is they're so trendy now everyone has them, making them a lot less cool. Exactly. They've lost their edge. Now you have to be tattooed head to toe -- and probably actually on your head -- to be considered a tattoo freak.
ecto-1 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Tattoos are cool, but the problem is they're so trendy now everyone has them, making them a lot less cool. Right. LOL When women first started getting tats, it was either a small snoopy or goofy tat on their shoulder blade, lower back or ankle. Now, these numnuts like to get murals on their whole side/back of their body. I can never get over how stupid those "black angel wings" look on their back.....it's an abomination.
Engadget Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I have a single tattoo, but I got it seven years ago when I was 18 before everyone and their mother had one. Now I probably wouldn't get anymore for that reason.
