    i love tattoos and have several, including a full sleeve, but what matters to me is how we treat each other. don't approach me in public and tell me you think i'm ugly, and i won't nitpick your appearance either!
    what bothers me is when people who don't like tattoos seem to feel that it's their duty to be unkind to me because of mine... as though they themselves were a paragon of morality and good looks! hah!
    I find it amazing that someone would have the gall to act that way. Whether I loved or hated tats, I would never feel that I had the right to try to make someone feel wrong because they have them. I hope you are able to just ignore the morons who would do that, because to dignify it with a retort, would just give them satisfaction.

    I joke that the one between my shoulder blades is my "future tramp stamp."

    Not weird at all! My husband hates them which is why I still do not have the hummingbird I want to get in memory of my Granny.

    To me it depends on the person who has them. My husband has tattoos on his arms and his leg and I find them sexy but then again he is my husband. I also have some 3 on my back and 1 on each wrist and my husband loves the..

    I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE tattoos, but there are people I know that don't like them (baffles me). A guy with tattoos instantly becomes 5x more attractive and interesting

    I love them personally. I have 11 currently and am getting a half sleeve this weekend. To each their own! I'm in the military and can only have a certain amount and all but one can be hidden if need be. And ALL have a meaning to me. Don't hate me for having them and I won't hate you for not :) An attractive guy (or girl) with tattoos... so much better! :)

    My husband does not like them on women at all! I want to get one later on in life and have been trying to convince him they are not that bad! He has a small one on his hand that he got when he was 15 so since then he doesnt care for them. But whenever he see's a lady that has them he is turned off! I would say you are not at all weird! Different strokes for different folks :)

    My ex told me he would never have a wife with a tattoo. I got a tattoo and then lost the ex. Best decision I ever made.

    I don't have a negative tattoo view (oh, that rhymed) but there is nothing that is more of a disappointment when you see a beautiful woman in a wedding/bridesmaid dress and she has some tattoo that sticks out like a sore thumb on her back/chest/leg, etc.

    I did it!! Went today and got a small hummingbird for my Granny. She passed 18 months ago and was more like a mom to me. She loved hummingbirds and she was a little thing herself. I know she would fully support this because she had a tattoo on her upper thigh for 71 years!

    I love tasteful tattoos on anyone. I think they tell a part of a person's story, just like scars or laugh lines. I like to think that my tattoos help weed out a portion of men that wouldn't understand me once they got to know me. If they can see past my tats, chances are we already have a few things in common. It's kinda cool. :-P I get lots of "looks" from people in general but I don't care. I am who I am and I don't make any apologies for that. :) Tattoos on men, now....that's a requirement for hotness! :P

    :heart: It's a beautiful tribute, and I think it's so cute that your Granny had a tattoo!

    People always say "What'll you tell your grandkids?" but I never thought any less of my grandfather for having one. I never asked why he had it. It was just part of who he was. I also never knew WHAT it was, since it was quite faded by the time I was born! (Native American girl, btw.)

    Thank you Lorina! My grandfather (Popeye) had tattoos on his arm, but when he had skin cancer he had them removed. I remember as a little girl he had a naked lady on his arm and it made me giggle, but I never thought anything bad about him. Don't all sailors have tattoos? lol

    I like them on men for sure :) My hubby has been talking about getting one on his back but he has yet to work up the nerve, he is not fond of needles.

    I have the typical tramp stamp on my back, got it when I was 19 and spend 95% of my life drunk and passed out on someones floor.

    I now have 5 children and everyone wants to know what I will do when one of my kids wants to get a tattoo and my answer is always the same "When they are old enough they can do what ever they want". I am not ashamed of my tat although I will not be getting any more.

    I think tattoos are very sexy! i love them! I'm not saying someone without tattoo's isn't but i find them very attactive!

    I have 6 myself and love every one of them. only my first two dont have any real meaning and i got these as soon as i hit 18... dont regret them but they just dont have any real meaning. my other ones are mostly dedicared to family members. i have one on my ribs which is dedicated to my grandad who passed away 3 years ago. i have one on my foot which doesn't look meaningful but each star is my family members.
    i have one my shoulder which is matching with my little brother!
    and the one around my wrist i got just after my husband and i split it says "everything happens for a reason"

    so as i was saying I LOVE TATTOOS!! but each to their own... i dont judge those who dont have tattoos and hope not to be judge by having them (even though i know i will be ... doesn't bother me)
