Tatoos on females

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.

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.

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

I have a pretty sizeable one on my shoulder. I would like to eventually get one on my shoulder or arm but that's the one place where my fiance says no :grumble: He likes them elsewhere, just not there.

Some of his family are super anti tattoo and won't know I have one til I walk down the aisle in my strapless gown lol. My family knows about it and I'll probably hear about how I should cover it up for my WEDDING. If anything I want more before we get hitched haha.

Not a huge fan, but I think some look really cool.

tattoos have never STOPPED being popular worldwide. This has been a constant part of many cultures since the beginning of civilizations. I feel like you're refusing to get your head past the fact that the world is more than just the US.

How many young adults worldwide had tattoos in the 18th and 19th centuries, compared to what is now clearly the popularity of tattoos among this age demographic? That's a rhetorical question. The answer is: fad.

No thanks. In my humble opinion, there is really nothing outside good diet and exercise that can improve the female form. It would be like hanging Motley Crue posters in the Taj Mahal, pointless and detracting from the real work of art.

Good design does not need adornment.

Would you put a bumper sticker on a royal royce? I don't think so. A Hyundai, perhaps but not a RR.

Personally I wouldn't put a bumper sticker on ANY car - being a possession I may someday resell.

My body on the other hand is seen by me, and those I let see it. Do I have Tattoos? Yes. Am I trashy? Perhaps. I'm also a highly educated, well read individual who is not only gainfully employed but a business professional. Do I look like someone who has tattoos? HA! nope. which is the best part of having them.

Do we have to square peg everyone into a stereo type? Much like religion, tattoos are a highly personal decision.

I've read this over and over again... "what is the true difference between a person with tattoos and a person without them?"

................a tattooed person doesnt care if you don't have tattoos.....
