tattoos hot or not?

Eh tattoo's are ok, don't make or break for me.
I prefer women with their leg hiked up on there counter.

Tattoos do not create nor destroy hotness...

I like them. I only have one, because I got it when I was 18, and I was worried I'd get addicted if I continued getting them at that age. Now that I'm 23, I'm interested in getting a few more. I would never do a sleeve or even partial sleeve, not because I don't like them, but for three reasons:

A. I have no clue what I'd want (design/pattern/images)
B. I don't think I could pull off sleeves
C. career limitations

As to the last point, I'm sick of piercings and tats being taboo in workplaces. My boyfriend is a high school teacher, he wants to get sleeves, but if he does he won't be able to wear short-sleeved shirts to work, ever. He teaches at an inner-city school, half of his students already have face tattoos.

Plus I would't be working with kids, I'd be working in either a professional office-type environment, a doctor's office, or on the street doing research in city neighborhoods. Tattoos shouldn't limit me in any of those places, but they would if I were job-hunting with sleeves.

I agree with you on that. My husband has a funny story about when he was hired. He has a sleeve, but wore a suit when he was interviewed for a state government position. After he was hired, and after his 90-day probationary period, he wore short sleeves for the first time. His boss admitted that if she saw that during the interview, she wouldn't have hired him, even though she also admitted that he's one of the best workers she's ever had.

I adore sleeves!

If they were more so accepted in the realm of professional professions, I would totally get 2 sleeves. :c

Totally hot.

They're a lot more accepted than most people realize. I have two full sleeves and work in an office. I only wear long sleeve shirts when I have meetings with the CEO and stuff like that. When I'm in the office normally, short sleeves all day every day.

Well thank you I took that after my second session. Two more sessions to go on the chest. The bee represents my daughter (so NOT temporary feeling LMAO)...nature is a great muse.

Yes, I love nature also and most of mine are dealing with nature, but I do have some that aren't nature too. I have a lion (I'm a Leo), a dog paw with an angel's halo and wings, St Louis Cardinals tattoo and tazmanian devil (that was my nickname back in highschool and is still my favorite cartoon character ever). The rest of mine are all flowers and such.

My next 2 tattoos are going to be a bumble bee, a lady bug and I am going to start a chest / quarter sleeve that will intail butterflies, humming birds and flowers.

Depends on how they are done, I have 7 tats(No sleeves or big peices) and they are all on the girly side(Granted I was 19 and went on a tat spree) I really think it depends on the quality and how you wear them.

I prefer women with their leg hiked up on their counter.

Love women with tattoos, as long as you like the look, who cares what others think.

I find women with no tattoos and women covered equally hot. There is beauty in simplicity and natural untouched skin, and beauty in a woman covered who expresses their life and stories on their body. As long as they are unique and don't follow trends just to follow the masses I think that is more "hot" than anything. Independence and confidence is intoxicating.

In my (Orthodox Christian) church, it is a sin to have a tattoo, partly because people are made by God in His image and tattoos are seen as a turning away from that image. Another reason is that, historically, tattoos have been used as part of the religious practice of non-Christian cultures. These types of tattoos are still around today. Tattoos can also be used to signal a group membership, as in gang tattoos. I have a sense that there is a division in modern American culture. Some 20% or so of the population reject the idea of tattoos out of hand, and may even be somewhat prejudiced against people who have tattoos as being "lower class". The rest are are indifferent or more or less open to tattoos.
Are they "hot" or not? My thought is that "hotness", the sense of physical attractiveness, is in the eye of the beholder. It is part "nature" and part "nurture". The nature part is basic human nature, fundamental sexual desire, which I doubt has muct to do with tattoos. The nurture part is what we learn in some way, thinking redheads are hot or that glasses are a turnoff. I would think that tattoos would fall into that category, so that someone who has them would find people with a range of feeling.
I am, pretty obviously, not pro tattoo. My feelings are: I have never seen a tattoo which I thought made someone look more attractive. When I see someone with extensive tattoos, I feel sorry for them.
