Am I the Only Person Turned of by...

There's a nurse at my doctor's office with tattoos and piercings. Every time she comes in to do my intake or give me a shot, the only thing I can think is, "hepatitis".

I guess you didn't know that tattoo parlors have to adhere to health and safety rules. People like you make me sad. So judgmental.

Not sure if this thread is about tattoos or turn-offs.

In the case of the former, I like a nice, well-defined tattoo. I don`t like those that are too complicated. Backstories are always interesting; but if the tattooed person has a lame explanation for their ink, that`s a deal-breaker.

Big turn-off: penciled eyebrows in woman. I`d choose a Frida Kahlo style brow over thin, perfect arcs any day.

OP: Don't try to tell me my tattoo isn't sexy...

Tattoos are like pretty much everything else. They look insanely hot on some women, ( including some of the women on here ), and kind of meh on others. A lot of it depends on the tattoo. A lot of it depends on the woman. I've seen some women who wore their tattoos poorly and while it wasn't a turn off, it certainly didn't add anything to the moment. I've seen other women whose tattoos simply mesmerized me. Not the artwork so much as just that particular ink, in that particular spot, on that particular body. Totally hypnotic.

There's a nurse at my doctor's office with tattoos and piercings. Every time she comes in to do my intake or give me a shot, the only thing I can think is, "hepatitis".

That's taking it one step beyond "I don't think that's attractive" right into "judgmental jerk" territory.

Frankly, I don't think I would like it, either. I'm not a "judgmental jerk"....that in and of itself seems judgmental to me.
But again.
This OP asked for people's opinions about tattoos. You're reading opinions! Don't judge!

don't judge the judges!

I prefer to gaze upon a blank canvas... :flowerforyou:

lmao your comment made my night

Tramp stamps drives me crazy

:drinker:

Honestly, everyone has their preferences and its fine to judge to a certain extent. But if that's your deal breaker for giving someone a chance you may have bigger problems than who has or doesn't have ink.

if theyre big, or imo ugly tattoos then ya its a deal breaker for me. im sure you have things that are deal breakers for you right? maybe things that the person cant really control even

Actually not really. I have been known to date a wide range of differrnt type of guys. I would only judge to a certain extent but
definitely been around and seen too much in my life to judge purely on appearances. I was in the army and seen men without limbs and badly burned and I would date those guys in a heart beat due to their tenacity and loyalty. If they have tats... bonus.

well so would i, someone doesnt choose to lose a limb i wouldnt hold that against someone. tattoos are a choice i simply dont understand. and i probably do judge off appearances too much, pierced/tattoo just isnt my personality so i doubt a girl with lots of ink would be very compatible with me.

Choice or no choice, its still judging appearances. I truly do not see how a tattoo can change an attraction to someone. Based on compatibility last time I checked no one certain personality or genre of person is only subject to getting tattoos. I by appearance someone would pick me out to be the preppy type, especially since at first glance you cant see my tats they are all easily hidden. However, get to know me and you will find I love country and classic rock amd grew up riding horses amd am a country girl at heart. So looks are deceiving so are tattoos

This is so true. I'm really covered and my face is full of piecings... but I'm a preschool teacher. I'm just about the most vanilla, gentle person you can imagine. I just want my body to be a work of art; and my skin to reflect my soul. I've dated so many guys who expected me to be a hardcore partier and they were very disappointed. Hahaha!

I know people find it "shallow" if you admit to being attracted or turned off by a certain type person/attribute. But we all have preferences and there is nothing wrong with that. I have no problem admitting I like black men over white men, I like brunettes over blondes, short hair over long. While I will date white guys, long hair, etc if I am in a room with a black guy with nice short cropped hair and a white blonde guy I'm going to make more of an effort to get to know the former ,... That is who I am attracted to and my preference. If he turns out to be a **** and the other guy the prince, ok it happens.
