tattoos hot or not?

Hot!

I have two, one on the inside of each wrist - one says "faith", the other "grace". I've had them about 7 years now and have never felt any amount of regret about them. I got "faith" when my ex-husband first left and "grace" when I was going through my divorce. Faith was to say that no matter what happens, I have faith that I will get through it and will be a better person on the other side. Grace was to say that even though I've made many mistakes throughout my life, God's grace has always been there to catch me. Throughout the past seven years, I've looked at each of these tattoos at various times and they've always served as reminders that I can make it through whatever my current tiral may be.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that some people (my mom, for instance) can look at my tattoos and think they're "trashy" and "only 'biker-chicks' get them" (yes, those are actual things my mom said lol) or whatever comment they want to make but because they mean something to me, other's opinions of them don't matter. You have to do what makes you happy and if someone can't accept you for having a tattoo(s), then they are obviously only willing to see you on the surface anyway and probably wouldn't be worth your time. So, just do what makes you happy and a person who appreciates you for who you are (tattoos or not) will come along

I don't try to concern myself with what others do to their body because I want the same respect in return. If tattoo sleeves make you happy then go for it. I have one tattoo and its on my back. I wouldn't feel comfortable walking my sons to school with tattoos running down my arms or legs but that's just my personal preference.

When my arms are toned I plan on getting a half sleeve. I like the way they look. I don't care what people think about it. I've always said if you don't like tattoos, don't get one!
So, to answer your question, they are def hot!!!

I like what Ron White says: "Tattoos, or as I like to call them, stupidity bruises"

I personally don't have anything against them; but I don't really want some random picture somebody drew to be etched permanently on my skin. And some people just go overboard...have fun with that.

Hot - but really does depend, i have my star sign on my neck. yes im a Leo

Depends on placement and body fat. Seriously.

If you're in shape, and it's a sleeve or other well placed design (not just random small tattoos) - it will probably look good. Look at any tattoo model - they're usually in shape with freshly styled hair too. If you're out of shape, it's going to look trashy.

Lets take David Beckham for example. I'm sure most women will find him attractive. Now if he gained 30 pounds and stretched out - not so much.

I guess the point is that the person makes the tattoo most of the time.

...I basically agree to this, more so for females than with males (sorry ladies!). I refused to get my half sleeve until I lose the weight and tone up my arm for this exact reason.

OP is on my FL and someone I would consider one of my closer friends on MFP so i am referring to my rights and refuse to answer the question. :blushing:

Hot

Definitely HOT I have 8 of them!

I've wanted one/some for years and years and years. I've finally decided on a couple of small ones for my 50 and 100-lb weight loss markers :happy: (16 lbs to go for that first!) It's also taken me this long to even decide on what to get, since, well, it's there forever.

Speaking of which (sort of) I would like to ask... and I hope it isn't a stupid question... would a tatt on, say, just below my neck, or around an ankle be affected as I lose weight? Like, would it start to look weird as I lose the fat underneath it? On my middle or thigh or butt or other particularly fleshy parts I could see maybe, but I wouldn't be inking them unless I'd already lost everything and tightened them up first :smokin:
