Jimmyson Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I just want to know, what do people think of your partner having tattoos? I've been getting them for a while now, I have most of my arms done, both my hands done, my side and front of my neck, my face, side of my head, and one on my chest - would this put you off or would you rather see me past my ink and care about the inside my personality or not?
Datura Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 The fact that you decided to put them on your face tells a lot about your personality, imo. That would be a deal breaker.
CrestfallenNoMore Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 A few tattoos are fine. But I'm not a big fan of full sleeves or, yeah, face tattoos. But I'm also in my 30s and work in a professional environment, and am looking for a fellow professional dude, so I'm probably not the kind of girl you'd be interested in either. It's your body, do what you want.
Kari Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I always have loved tattoos. I wouldn't see a problem dating a guy who has some. I'm interested in the meaning behind them. However, I'm not sure if I would be fond of tattoos on the actual face. If the guy was great, I don't think that it should be a deal breaker. I plan to get only one tattoo for myself one day, it will be small though.
thatone Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) no one is gonna "see past" that, you're now limited to women who also have a preference for tattoos. you are also limited to about half the jobs you had available before, you'll never have a job where appearance matters. that further limits your selection of women. as a man you have more leeway, anything that would be covered by a long sleeve shirt would be fine. i'm thinking jeremy shockey as an example of this. as a woman, anything that isn't covered by a sleeveless dress is too much, so women have less leeway. yes, for someone who ever attends any sort of formal social gathering, it's a deal breaker. i'm reminded of a wedding i attended once. my brother and i were standing outside talking with some other people we knew getting away from the way too loud DJ, and all of the bridesmaids walked past in a group. my brother commented that he didn't have to see their faces, he could identify them all by their 'tramp stamps'. i couldn't help but laugh, as i was thinking the exact same thing.

I work and have always worked since I have left school and I have good grades, I work in construction so my appearance doesn't really matter. Why should a woman really be put of though considering it should be what is on the inside that matters.

thatone Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) no idea, but for someone who doesn't have tattoos your pics look like a corrections department mugshot for a guy in for 40 to life. I work and have always worked since I have left school and I have good grades, I work in construction so my appearance doesn't really matter. Why should a woman really be put of though considering it should be what is on the inside that matters. because what will her parents think? what will her friends who don't like tattoos think? what will her wedding photos look like? what will her co-workers think when there's a job related dinner or when you stop by to pick her up one day? what will her kids' teacher think when they meet you at a school function? women plot all of that stuff when they get into a relationship. and you fail every one with the tattoos on your face and hands.

mr.dream merchant Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Tramp stamps make women look like whores. :/
sanskrit Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Tramp stamps make women look like whores. :/ True, but if I ever saw a tramp stamp tattoo of the "Golden Arches" complete with "18 billion served" underneath, I'd likely ask the woman to marry me on the spot, or at least for a happy meal.

Heh, good luck with that. I wouldn't even want to kiss that ho.
Feelin Frisky Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I despise tatoos. Simple. I can't say I would reject someone because of them because I had deep feelings for someone I met early last year. I loved everything about her. I was shocked though when she first yawned in my presence and her shirt rode up and revealed what seemed like an endless grafitti patch on her back and hips. I would have over-looked them because I know she did all that when she was 20 years younger and stupider and she also was part native American and her family placed significance on adornment. But it wasn't meant to be. My standard rule is that tatoos are always a subtraction and never an addtion to an appearance. It really rubs me the wrong way when a female thinks she knows better than nature and gives into the vane impulse to have some carnival dude ink her flesh. It is already gorgeous for what it is. Mysterious, beautiful, alluring, precious, tantalyzing, lovely. Sticking someone else's gosh "art work" in the middle of it is like posting a billboard in the middles of the fountain of youth. You can't possibly add to the mystery of the ages which makes you you.
sanskrit Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Heh, good luck with that. I wouldn't even want to kiss that ho. Aww c'mon do you realize what a cool, secure woman with a sense of humor that would be?
mr.dream merchant Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Aww c'mon do you realize what a cool, secure woman with a sense of humor that would be? No because I'm too busy not seeing past the skanky tattoo she has on her body. My mind would be clouded with the number of men who have probably had their way with her. :/ Ugh.
Kari Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I see nothing wrong with women who have tattoos. If they are small, easily hidden and well done then it looks good to me. I wouldn't rule someone out because they have body art.
Datura Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) What is my personality? One or more of the following: you either aren't thinking to the future, or simply don't care about it; you're rebellious with a possible "**** all" attitude; you desire attention (since this thread exists and your face is your avatar that supports such a claim as well). If that is off the mark - great. Edited May 17, 2011 by Datura
OliveOyl Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I don't have any tattoos. Too conventional/conservative, I guess. The guy I'm seeing has one tattoo. It's on his ankle and is nice, a kind of Native-American design. A tattoo on one's face would be an automatic deal-breaker. I could never "look past" that. Someone will appreciate it though.
Pfiend101 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 A girl I know has a tattoo right where her pubes would be that says "lucky you". lol Not exactly the classiest but she is definitely hot.
Pyro Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 A couple of them would be fine but not a whole bunch. Just my personal preference.
denise_xo Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I don't feel strongly about them either way. My ex had some and they were nice. However, I get skeptical when they take up too much of a person's identity. Identity projection on to material things is a turn off.
darkangel001 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I think people should really get over themselves- yes I get why people don't like tatoos, they look ugly, look worse when you get fat, fifty etc... In a society that is supposedly meant to be more tolerant people still have ****ty prejudices... It's YOUR body do what you want to it- as long as you are being responsible. I mean you would never tell a black women- cover yourself in fair and lovely before going to that job interview... so why should you do that to someone who has tattoos? Tattoos are also a huge part of some cultures... Personally I think tattoos on you face is too much- your face is what you project to the world- and I honestly have yet to see a face tattoo that can said to be 'classy'
salty goodness Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 i actually like tattoos if they're well done (there are a lot of people with awful tats out there) but having them on the face or neck is too much for me. unless you're a Maori warrior i don't see how it's appropriate to tattoo your face.
Nexus One Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Very few women have tattoos that actually are aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. In fact I can only think of 1 girl who has a tattoo that I like. She has a sort of lotus flower on her shoulder cup (deltoid). Other than that tattoo I've never seen a tattoo on a woman that complemented her beauty. So I wouldn't advise a woman to take one.
Ross MwcFan Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I perfer women without tattoos, but if they had some tattoos, obviously it wouldn't be a deal breaker. I was going to get a tattoo myself when I was younger. So glad I didn't now.
oldguy Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I don't know who said it first but there is a funny quote about tattoos; "No i don't want a tattoo, You don't put a bumper sticker on a Bentley.." LOL.
