Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. If you disagree with it fine, if you agree that's fine to. No need to get so into the argument that you lose sight of the point of the discussion. Do you like them or do you not and why? Don't attack the people who have them or criticise the people who feel different. You're sexy, beautiful and amazing regardless. I if you're not in the eyes of some...well Hell, not everyone like flowers. Tats can be the bow on a bouquet or spray paint. All in the eyes of the person lookin. Personally, I dig what they mean0

Essentially, the summarization on here is that 1) women who have them think they're awesome (shocker), 2) guys who kowtow to women will (by default) like them (shocker), and 3) those of us who happen to think they DON'T look good on women are sexist. Yup, gotta love the lemming mentality.....
Well aren't you a ****. Nobody said you were sexist, people who say men look good with tattoos and women don't are sexist.
Get over yourself and pay attention
And you can't take a generalization. Try getting over YOURself.....
Nope. I'm perfectly content with how into myself I am.
Also, that wasn't a generalization you made. But good job at repeating yourself, super witty.
Actually, it pretty much WAS a generalization, but it's nice that you're so inclined to split hairs and talk in semantics. That said, congratulations on your contentment being a narcisist.....
I pity your wife and children for having to live with such an angry troll.
Fyi, just because I like myself doesn't make me a narcisist. However, I'd take being a narcicst over a bitter old man full of ignorance and hate.
What's laughable is that you know NOTHING about me and yet, as some random person on the internet, presume to make the judgement/declaration that I'm an "angry troll", and "pity my wife and kids". Keep running with that thought......as they couldn't be further from the truth.0 -

That is how you come off. Your fault not mine.0 -

Well from head to toe you're a work of art...don't pay attention to anyone who tells you different.Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. If you disagree with it fine, if you agree that's fine to.

I got my tattoo on my left inner arm - it is for my son who passed away- its a heart with his name in it. I don't care what anyone thinks of it!- I love it and it is like he is a part of me forever!!0

A friend of mine said it best: "I like tattoos. They're designed for tracing."0
-
Yes, I have a friend who is covered in tattoos and they are meanigful tattoos. I'm not gay but they are part of what makes her sexy.
That is all0 -
Snoopytwins, is your name Steve?
You know...more bees with honey.Your dad (not your "old man") sounds like my kind of gentleman. He's probably around my age. We grew up in a more genteel time when 'please' and 'thank you' were common (even expected) and failure to say 'yes, sir' or 'no, ma'am' when addressing an older person would get you in trouble.
By the way, what does honey and bees have to do with the topic?
Makes about as much sense taken out of context as your snip of my earlier post.
MY point referred to his accusation that my opinion was outrageous garbage similar to something his old man would say.
Sounds like a guy I don't care to meet.
Yes, I categorize tattoos and piercings as mutilation and desecration. That's MY opinion.
If you disagree, OK, just express yours and move to the next post.
(BTW, I'm a "sir" not a "ma'am.")
As someone else said:
I said Nay. Then I said why.Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. If you disagree with it fine, if you agree that's fine too. Do you like them or do you not and why? Don't attack the people who have them or criticise the people who feel different.
Steve went off on me. He used a faulty premise to arrive at a ridiculously erroneous conclusion.
So, according to you and Steve, I can't express an opinion because it differs from yours and his.
Right?
/me in this thread!0 -
Im pretty picky about which tattoos i like. i think sleeves on women are sexy, but im not a fan of neck or tit tattoos.
all depends on what and where they are.0 -
tattoos are sexy... i got all mine because I love them, not because I want to impress anyone... and a guys with tattoos are super hot!!.. I cannot date a guy without ink...0
-
Only if they're small and few in number. I don't find sleeves attractive on women, anything on the chest, lower back, neck, thighs, calves. Wrist, ankle, foot, back of neck, shoulder blade area and hips for me.0
-
For me...I go by the person, not the colors on their skin or lack thereof.. At the end of the day it is WHO they are. I'm not a big fan of face tattoos but I went on a date when I was single with a guy who had them. He was hilarious and pretty awesome. The only reason it didn't work out was because we just didn't have that connection on a personal level, not because he had tattoos I wasn't usually fond of.0

This.
What ink we do or don't have says nothing about the person other than their choice of art.
I find that the saying "The only difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is tattooed people don't care if you are not tattooed." Does actually hold true a lot of the time.0 -
I am a big fan! It's very attractive if the placement and artwork are right.0

If its done right, definitely0
-
Well I can tell you that I love my tattoos. Don't really care what anyone else thinks, I got them for me.
^^^ YUP!0 -
I love tattoos and think that they are sexy on women! So I vote yes!! And like other say it has to be good art work because ****ty tattoos just look bad on anyone.0
-
Hell yer x0
-
A girl with like 1-3 small, well placed tattoos can be sexy.
Much of this depends on the individual woman.
I usually think less is more with tattoos, though I'm far from a no tattoo stance on whats sexy on a woman.0 -
Steve,Nay.
My opinion, which I'm entitled to express, is that the wearer looks cheap.
Male or female.
Feel free to desecrate/mutilate your body all you want, but to me, unadorned skin is more beautiful than inked skin.
Thats the kind of prepopsterous garbage my old man (who has 'unfortunate' tattoos - see earlier in the thread) comes out with. I have other mutilations on my body that I did not choose - are they equally as repugnant?
You obviously didn't read the OP's statement.
The posed question was followed by why or why not.
I stated why.
But, as customary on this board, anyone with a dissenting opinion is scorned.
Your dad (not your "old man") sounds like my kind of gentleman. He's probably around my age. We grew up in a more genteel time when 'please' and 'thank you' were common (even expected) and failure to say 'yes, sir' or 'no, ma'am' when addressing an older person would get you in trouble.
If your other mutilations are scars from an accident, surgery, birth defect, or similar involuntary actions ... no, of course not. And I did not use the word repugnant -- YOU did. How can you leap from what I typed, expressing that 'a' is more beautiful than 'b,' to repugnant? You can't. It's simply your crass intolerance of a dissenting opinion.
If your other mutilations are from piercings -- navel, nose, lips, tongue, eyebrows, "personal areas" -- even those are not repugnant to me. I just prefer plain.
Firstly; I'd moved on from the 'hot or not' thing - I have already said, it makes no difference to me how attractive I find someone whether or not they have tattoos, but I do like tattoos.
I dislike it when people lump tatoos and piercings in with mutilations, because they are not. I have mutilations (not chosen, obviously) and tattoos, one of those things I am pleased to have adorning my body, the other, I am not.
My old man (or old boy, is more common round here), grew up in a time that may or may not have been more 'genteel', but certainly in a place that was not - he is from inner Salford (Greater Manchester) and we moved to the country when I was a nipper, which is where I grew up. I think, if you ask him, he would probably agree that society is much more tolerant than it was then, in general.
I am far more likely to have said please and thankyou growing up than he was - He ran away from home at 14 and was arrested some 200 miles away for vagrancy, because society then was that 'genteel' that it tolerated him being routinely being beaten with a belt.
His opinion stems from a kind of 'don't do what I did' kind of perspective, but, as I have said, he projects his own negative experience on others - to the point where he refers to tattoos as mutilations, because he cant see how that might annoy someone like me, although he probably should.
My brother, who sort of shared his views said his mind was changed in one short conversation with me, I showed him my tatt when it was new, and his response was "scarred for life" - to which I replied "I'm already scarred for life - I just chose this one".
By the way; My old mans tattoos are on his forearms and are a knife and a Union Jack respectiveley.0 -
I love tattoos! I think if done right they are beautiful. I have seven of them. Some mean something, some are just pretty, some are HUGE, some are small. I understand those who are against them but do not resort to looking down on others because they are for them. God gave me this body and it is my temple, he never said I couldn't hang any stained glass or artwork.0
-
Don't like them on men or women. I never saw one that didn't reduce the person's attractiveness.
I think they are a very clever IQ test.
I am torn on this one because, last time I checked (I was at college, so some years ago); I had an IQ of 120something.
On the other hand - I think someones IQ has little bearing on their intelligence because I see it as a flawed test in so many ways.
Do I win or lose?
Juxtaposition...:bigsmile:0 -
I think they are a very clever IQ test.
Me too. Having them means that people with a low enough IQ to hold silly prejudices based on body modifications don't bother talking to me.. 0 -
Depends where they are .... anywhere but the face i'm happy0
-
I think tattoos can be very beautiful but I think if one is poorly placed or just looks stupid it can make a person look kinda trashy, just be careful where you put your ink and you should be fine! Ive been playing with the idea of getting one myself.0

Well said! :drinker:
Thinking that I am somehow less intelligent because I have ink on my skin is ultimately the same thing as racism. You (not YOU kitsuneandy, but the person who posted about the IQ test) are essentially judging me by the COLOR of my skin. How very mature of you. :huh:
For the record, I have a graduate degree, a professional license, and a pretty fancy job title, and (GASP!) I'm covered in tattoos.
And, by the way, I'm glad I got in again BEFORE THE LOCK!!!!! LOL0 -
How can you say you like them, or don't like them, as a general thing? Doesn't it depend on the art, the color, etc.?
I have seen gobs and gobs of really bad tattoos.0 -

LOVE my ink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
