    I love tattoos but don't have any. My boyfriend has got a few but they're all silly ones he got with his mates when he was in his teens :-) They make us laugh & I don't think they look trashy, although now they're nearly 10 years old they've turned into a grey colour rather than the original black.

    My dad's got loads all over his arms & back. I don't even notice them anymore, although I know he regrets most. The ones he doesn't are mine and my mum's name on his arm, arhh :-)

    I don't think the 'tramp stamp' is deserved to be honest - it can look really nice

    I have one. Nobody can see it because I don't wear clothing that shows it off. It's a heart with a banner running through it that has my husband's name on it and he's the only one who can see it. If that makes me trampy, so be it.

    I also have a butterfly tattoo on my shoulder that I've had for 30 years. Just got it recolored in November. I don't care if people see that and I do wear clothing that reveals it. It doesn't bother me either way. Though a lot of people who see it are surprised that I have a tattoo because I apparently put out the wholesome girl next door vibe.

    I think all tattoos are eyesores. They make attractive people look kind of trashy. Just my humble opinion.

    +1 Judgmental Point for you.
    LEVEL UP!
    How is that judgmental? I said it makes people LOOK trashy. Nit that tattoos MAKE them trashy. There is a difference. Also, it is called an opinion. Let me guess, it's okay to think it but not okay to say it if you don't agree. LOL.....

    I read a nice article about laser tattoo removal that had an interview with a dermatologist. He mentioned his favorite regret story was of an older lady who had a tattoo on her lower abdomen. It had an arrow pointing down and the words "DINNER IS SERVED".

    I never understood why someone wants to look like a walking comic book.

    Not a fan of any tattoos.

    My opinion, and I respect other's opinions as well.

    I actually have one above mine which means "to give love." No joke.

    It's all a matter of opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. They are like @ssholes, everyone's got one. I have 7 tattoos including my eyeliner, but they are all hidden if I want them to be, so I like tattoos but since they can be frowned upon, I put them in places that can be covered up (for like an interview and such). I have the "tramp stamp" back before it was called that, and it has meaning to me, so I don't really care what anyone thinks.

    I have seen some lovely tattoos that I wouldn't have minded having myself (except I'm way too indecisive to put permanent art of any kind on my carcass). Most that I've seen don't move me either way, and some (anything cleverly using the bellybutton to portray an arsehole for example) that just make me shake my head.

    The location of the tattoo (other than the bellybutton-t-arsehole bit) means nothing at all to me as far as whether I think it's tasteful, though.

    Tattoo's are NOT trashy, at all. Tattoo's are a form of art. If it was a picture drawn on a piece of paper or a painting it wouldn't be trashy, JUST because it's on your skin, it's trashy? How that works, I don't know.

    "The only difference between tattooed people and non tattooed is tattooed people don't care if your not tattooed."

    Tattooing is an odd and beautiful form of art; very interesting and more expressive sentiment than any other thing. It is more fascinating than costly jewelry and can't be lost, stolen or borrowed. It is a memento we can keep through life and retain after death.

    No point in getting angry. In about 10 years, it will be impossible to discriminate in hiring or make fun of people's tattoos--the trend is just not going away. Forty-somethings have tribal tats, Chinese characters, arm sleeves from the 1990's. Nowadays, 20-year-olds like writing out quotes in black ink on their arms and torsos. Do we have a tattooed congressman or senator yet? If not, it's just a matter of time before we do. I am personally rooting for a woman senator with a tramp stamp--that would be awesome. Although we may already have one and just not know it.

    Because people who don't have a tattoo CONSTANTLY label those who do... People who are tattooed never say anything bad about those who don't. :laugh:

    I sure hope it will be impossible to discriminate against those with tattoo's. The percentage of people with tattoo's is probably higher than those without x

    The reason you do not understand, sir, is probably related to your age.

    When my generation retires, there is going to be a lot of inked, pierced saggy skin on display in Florida.

    I think it will forever be known as a tramp stamp but it really depends on you and why you got it. I have one and it has a story behind it. I wouldn't change it for anything.
