Tattoos on Women: Yay or Nay?

[sweetkiwi]

I wear makeup sometimes, usually just lipstick. I have no desire to attract anyone. I have plenty of guys, and girls, who are attracted to **me**. Not my makeup. Thats just weird.

 

I am more than the sum of my parts.

Chess piece I understand your POV. And I realize plenty of people judge me on my exterior, being a tattooed woman.

 

But my point is I don't care. People judge for many many reasons. And If I can look how I want and eliminate those who judge me on my exterior in one foul swoop. That's a win-win.

 

The best man I know besides my father is my ex boyfriend: a tattoo artist who is completely covered. Tattoos themselves do not repel me. And they attract me only in the way that I am curious about them.

 

You are entitled to your opinions. And you're not the only one who feels this way. When I go out and my tattoos and plugs are not showing I notice people stare less. Then as soon as I take off my scarf they see my chest tattoo.

 

If you're curious as to its meaning I am glad to tell you. Let's just say that even my Mormon grandmother loves it. And she's very judgmental.

I am not into tattoos on women. One or two small ones that are out of the way, well done and thought out, whatever. Tramp stamp.......thanks for being properly*labeled.

 

Then I met a girl that I really like. I liked her a lot. She's all thorny and maybe even a little abrasive on top, but very sweet, caring and loyal below all that. Very attractive physically. I trust her. This is important to me. It means a lot.

 

She has full sleeves on both arms and a good amount on her shoulders too. No tramp stamp, but she did have a pretty cool looking tat on one of her butt cheeks. We dated for a while. I wasn't attracted to her dispute her tats. I didn't really think about it. I was just attracted to her.

 

She wasn't going to stop there for tats. She wanted to get her whole back done up and then who knows after that. I think some people get into these subcultures and because of all the other people within that subculture cheering them on and pushing them towards doing more.....they do more. I had a friend before that was into building really fast computers. He spent thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars doing it. All to run a program that rated how powerful the computer was so he can post those results on a forum full of other people in that subculture. I am just trying to say people get addicted to some things and get cheered on and one day they wake up and are like.....why did I ever get my whole body covered in tats?

 

I talked with her about how I felt. I had only been dating her for three months. I am not saying it is my place to tell her what to do with her body, but I was not keen on her getting even more tattoos. As always in matters like this, I didn't express myself very well and it turned into a fight . One that spiralled down till we crashed and burned. Then I consoled myself by quickly finding another girl since we broke up. And that pretty much made her hate me. Sometimes I gotta laugh really hard at life otherwise I'd probably cry.

 

However, if things had worked out differently with her, I really could care less what her tats look like when we're old and grey. It would be amazing to me that we lasted. I mean really amazing. Like maybe life had meaning after all amazing.

 

And if we had gotten married and we went to a work function where my boss and coworkers notice. Well, first off it'd be me and her against them, so whatever the **** stupid **** they think is wrong. They better bury their bad karma down deep and fall in line like good little sheeps or maybe I punch them in the face. I will certainly call them out on any bad comments. Luckily, my line of work doesn't really have people like that. And I never had a boss that couldn't see a person as who they are.

Guys, if you were on a date with a girl and found out she had a tattoo, would you continue dating her or no? How big/noticeable would it have to be for you to say no?

 

Just curious. Been thinking of getting a tattoo for years now, but dunno how men see it; if it'd be a turn-off or dealbreaker for most.

 

Yay.

 

As long as it's not on the face or like full body?

 

Yay.

It depends. I prefer that she isn't covered all over her body with them. I also prefer that it is so big that you can't help but to notice them.

 

There is others but I can't think of them right now. It really depends from female to female.

 

I want to be with a woman, not a picture or a painting.

nay, can't stand them. The little ones on an ankle I guess if they feel the need.
