Tatoos on females

Philllbis

I like them on women and why or how many they have is none of my business.

I have 1 and plan on 4 more once I get money. I want 1 before I get married along with my aunt, sister in law, and mom as a family tatt for fighting cancer and have a picture with all those showing the day of the wedding. My only problem is I have to have every tatt covered at work. Kind of a downer there...

The only time I have issues with ink on women is when I see them swiping thier EBT Card in the Wal~Mart checkout. Stay Classy Bi*ches, stay classy.

Indeed. I hate looking around me and seeing what looks like the cast of a “Genghis Kahn” movie. I hate seeing people who are emotionally scarred and deeply disturbed being taken advantage of by yet another money making trend. But mostly, I hate seeing people thinking that their outward appearance can somehow make up for their lack of personality. I believe that most people who get tattooed today simply want acceptance and attention and, in their desperation, have had to resort to mutilating themselves. Tattoos are a cry for help. A Band-Aid on a deep seeded emotion and/or mental breakdown. I would suggest looking for a way to appreciate yourself as you are rather than trying to hide behind lame artwork and inane symbolism.

My personality is super freaking awesome, and I don't have any deep seeded emotional trauma and have never had a mental breakdown. I think I'm the coolest person in the entire universe.
This coming from a person that loves themselves SO much that they have a fat cat as their picture... Right.

Oh, you poor dear; you poor delusional girl. I must admit you do bring up a good point, though. You actually do belong to a completely different category of tattoo-heads that I failed to mention: the completely oblivious. In many ways, this is the saddest group. They haven’t bothered to put any thought into what they’re doing beyond which tattoo they want to get. They believe they are doing something completely on their own and not encouraged by outside influence. However, if left to yourself and having never been exposed to this lame trend, I would wager large sums of money that the idea of scaring your flesh would have never crossed your mind. To believe that the present “cool factor” of tattooing had nothing to do with your decision is absurd. Oh, you poor sweet girl.

This IS about self-centered self-importance, but, even worse, it’s supported by naivety and utter cluelessness.

:huh: Yeah, I'm really really worried about being cool. Because I have to impress EVERYONE, and I want them all to love me and worship me. Every decision I make in life is to appear cooler. Seriously?!? You might have a better way with words than I do, but that's fine. I'm a SAHM, my life is devoted to my kids at the moment, because they are the most important things in my world. I don't give a crap about how other people perceive me, it's kind of funny when they all eventually realize that I'm definitely not some punk rock chick that goes out and gets wasted at concerts all the time(have to love how judgemental people can be basing you off what they think you look like). Also, my life is ruled by what tattoo I'm going to get next. Yes, I love tattoos, have quite a bit of work, and will probably eventually get more. No, my every waking moment(or even ten percent of it) isn't used up by thinking about tattoos. I just think @sshats like you need to get a life and stop trying to fit everyone into a box. Not every person that has tattoos is trying to be trendy.
As for self centered self importance, I am self centered to a certain degree, I'm worried about me and my family, I don't generally give a **** about other people or their families. Self importance, I don't think in the grand scheme of things that I'm any more or less important than any other person. I'll be clueless and naïve, it's gotten me pretty far in this life so far. I have a great husband, two awesome and healthy kids, three kick @ss dogs, a house and two vehicles. All at only 27 years old, I'll let you know when my life goes to **** and I need your advice.

I don't mind some classy ones here and there, but the ones with full arms, neck back, chest is just disgusting and not to mention it looks retarded.

Perfect example; Left= hot, Right = disgusting.

Well aren't you a lovely person... :noway:

I bet many people could think of many ways to describe you, luckily people have the common decency to keep their mouths shut.

Granville_Cocteau

I don't mind them, but I'm really not a fan. More than a few, and it seems like someone is putting in way too much effort to try and look cool and make a personal statement. Reminds me of the people in the 80s with the Chess King wardrobe, parachute pants, and butt-cutt, or the Cobain wannabees in the 90s. Fashion fads come and go..

..you know what I hate? People who judge and think they know everything about a person by looking at them...those people usually hate themselves so the judge other people....

You judge so harshly based on tattoos why? Do you believe people without tattoo are anymore stable? Honestly if we were all the way you've paint us to be they're just wolves in sheeps' skins. Your included .

Tattoo WITH females....

MelsAuntie

Mine is our family logo, designed by me, all 4 of us have the same tattoo. Visible here in my profile picture.

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

I have 4 and am planning one more - all relatively small and tasteful and in places that cannot be seen unless I am in a bikini. Dressed in anything more and you would think I was a complete conservative.

dirty_dirty_eater

Well...When I was a young man....(crotchety old man voice).

I can't imagine ever seeing a woman with tats when I was young. If you did, she was pretty well on the fringe, probably riding on the back of a Harley (another activity that has gained acceptability over the years).

So, that's what I grew up with and that's what I'm used to. I know those rules and societal norms no longer apply and I don't use them to judge people. Even so, my tastes were formed way back then, so I don't love tats.

All that said, I've seen some seriously smoking hot women with incredible ink work. So I guess the bottom line is, as it always has been for man/pig that I am, Hot is Hot, and nothing is off limits where hot is concerned.

Bubblilios

I currently have 9 tattoos. Each one of mine have a special meaning behind them. I think tattoos are an expression of who we are. When I lose 50 pounds I play on getting another one.

SkinnyBubbaGaar

And, just to blow all yawl's minds here a tattoo of Tattoo...

ldrosophila

I've always liked em but now they are becoming so popular seems like most people have them. Maybe it's not a bad thing, but they dont represent rebellion anymore pretty much main culture now.

Guess if you look at a lot of primitive cultures like the IceMan Otzii tattoos where pretty common. So probably going full circle.

Not to the extend they are now. It seems there's a new tattoo shop popping up every day, sometimes almost across the street from each other. It's a fad.

keya729

Well considering I have seven I'm going to say that I love them lol!!
I think they're great in moderation I don't like when women have them on their faces, but I do like tattoos and believe they are a great way to express yourself.

SpookyElectric

I have two sizable tattoos - one on my left side, another down the front of my right hip. I intend to get a lot more, although I will probably fill the space between my knees and armpits before I move on to limbs where they can't easily be hidden.

It's a sad fact that people judge others on what they see. I love my ink and I get it done for me - not for anyone else. The only people who see it are people I WANT to see it.

So many people I know would never guess that i have any tattoos, I'm sure they think I'm much too conservative! How little they know.....

Wow. That is very closed minded. When I got my first one, my dad looked at my mom and asked her "Why did you let her get that?" I was 19 at the time. I get mine for a reason, not because I'm trying to fit in or I have a lack of personality. I definitely don't lack in personality. Mine tell my story. They remind meof where I came from and what I've been through. I want an infinite heart on my wrist, not as a symbol of infinite love but as a symbol of love doesn't hurt as the infinity symbol is also a symbol of women against domestic abuse and I've been a victim of that. I want a teal ribbon with butterfly wings as a symbol of the cancer that my aunt fought and won symbolizing she is stronger than the cancer and it gave her a second chance to spread her wings and fly. To some, they're a story of what you've been through and some a constant reminder of what you will not go back to.

Man...it's ok to have an aesthetic preference, but to define as "disgusting?" No, not ok.
Furthermore, if you'd pass on the one on the right because of tats, you need to give up your straight man card.

Do they tell a story of.... YOUR JOURNEY?

I dont know I mean if you look at the 5000 year old ice man he is tattooed interestingly enough along his meridian lines of eastern medicine and he's ice age European! Unfortunately most of the skin from long ago is gone, so we cant really see much evidence. However, it is curious that almost all cultures have practiced some form of body modification.

Wow. Judgemental to a totally ridiculous extreme. Better remove your head from your *kitten* before you suffocate.
MY tattoo, which I had done at age 60, was to celebrate the arrival of my niece and her husband on this farm and the love shared by the four of us. That's the whole reason, and the design does honor to all of us. We all have matching tattoos. Everyone remarks on the beauty of the design and the idea behind it.

I love tattoos, I have two: my first I got when I was 20 it is a small flower on the back of my neck. I knew I wanted one when I was 16 but waited four years, still wanted the same tattoo in the same place on my body so I got it. I was the only one of my friends to have one but they didn't care, I was still the same person. My second I got when I was 34, it is on my left foot a small dragon, an Aries symbol, and a fall leaf, again I knew I wanted it and where for many years before I finally got it.

I chose to get them in spots that I could cover up easily because I didn't ever want to worry about employment do to having tattoos.

Given the thought I put into mine before going through with them I am pretty sure I wasn't trying to use them to cover up for my lacking personality or to cover up some perceived emotional issue. Anybody who knows me knows I don't do anything to fit in or follow the crowd and never have. I didn't get them to show off to others because quite frankly people often know me for quite a while before the even know I have a tattoo.

I consider them my stained glass windows on my temple.

I couldn't careless and have no judgement towards people who do not have tattoos and never understood why people with out them sometimes get so worked up about people who choose to have them.
