Tattoo-Free: Who does NOT have any?
Replies

Always wanted one on my hip...2 kids & a road map of stretch marks later...I'm glad I didn't get one. I did however go the piercing route in high school.0

Tatoos - When I look at a woman the first thing I see is what I find special about her. Could be eyes, mouth, hair or some other part of her anatomy. Depends on the girl.
Tatoos - I approach them in a similar way. It has to be done tastefully and that's obviously up to the viewer. I have to say that I love women's bodies who are not inked..because I do believe they are innately beautiful. That said, some tatoos have an allure to them that makes you want to know more or perhaps implies the woman is adventurous and exciting......
It so varies and depends on the woman. While I believe I typically would view a woman who isn't heavily inked over one that is, I've seen some very beautiful "up the side of torso" tatoos from fellow swimmers. The fact that you can't change them is somewhat problematic for me. My mood, desires, and ideas about things evolve. So for now I opt for none. When I'm 90 I might say go ahead...lol...

Don't have any and at my age, it would probably just be seen as a pathetic attempt to recapture my youth. But in my youth, they were not so common place. If I went by my mental age, I would be young enough. :laugh:
I have seen one tattoo that was super cool...it was Peter Pan and his shadow (in a different pose than Peter, of course).
I did consider getting one a few years ago when a very good friend's daughter was expected to die shortly after her birth. Her name is Daisy so I would have gotten a small daisy somewhere. But she beat the odds and not only survived but is doing awesome.0 -
None for me. I'm not against them, I just don't know what i would want put on my body that'll be there forever. I may like something know but who knows how I feel in 20 years.
Something to do with my kids would be the only thinkg that I'd consider but haven't gone there yet.0 -
Don't have one yet because I haven't been able to commit to the permanency!
My boyfriend has three and they look really really good on him. He has his last name and the flags of his heritages on his back, and a large memorial tattoo (name, life dates, and some small swirls) that takes up his entire left forearm. They look awesome, and it gives him that little bit "edginess" that he has to his personality but is often too shy/quiet to show. His art shows it off for him
If I were ever to get one, it would probably be something about me being "straightedge" (no drugs, alcohol, smoking, or other behaviors of that sort). Mine might say "temperance", in a nice small script, on the edge of my left foot or something. Or, I wear this ring that I bought in France on my right hand, it takes up a lot of space from knuckle to knuckle and underneath it I might get a fleur-de-lis, something related to my love of France.
That's all I can really think of having.0 -
None here. I'll never willingly get one. Why would I? I'm not a biker, been in prison,or perform in a punk band. I think if you want to get tattoos, you should have the lifestyle that goes with it. If I were to get one, it would be nothing but posing since I'm not some sort of hard, edgy character in any way.
I'm a hard, edgy school teacher. :laugh:
When people protest that tattoos are permanent, I smile and say, Yes, the best artwork is permanent. Sistine Chapel, anyone?0 -
Come on. You know you've been a biker, in prison, and in a punk band. How do we know all that? Because you have tattoos!I'm a hard, edgy school teacher. :laugh:0 -

My boyfriend doesn't have any. I don't really care if anyone has or doesn't have them. One of my coworkers apparently complained last week because the star tattooed on my foot was showing as it has been for years (except for a short time under a stickler of a boss). My boss, who doesn't really give a rat's hind end about it, now has to enforce the company dress code and has asked me to cover it until he revises the policy.
If a client, board member, or business partner had complained, I wouldn't care, but why does anyone who is not affected at all by my small, tasteful tattoo care about seeing it to the point that they feel the need to complain? I'm sad and confused and really ticked. Why can't we just live and let live?
Hopefully eventually tattoos will become acceptable in the work place! I think it's rather unfair to treat people differently for a tasteful body modification, people don't get mad when you dye your hair, or pierce your ears, so whats so different when you pierce your eyebrow or get a cute tattoo? hugs0 -
I love tattoos and always wanted one but never got the courage to get one.
Always said if I did it would be of my own design
Until then I act like a silly girl and have my fake ones for the summer;)
At least they wear off in a week or two and i can have a new fresh set
If your not sure you wanna commit to one never do it or you will regret it.
If you are die hard enough you never regret it0 -
No tatts here!! Thought about it during time in high school, but then thought "what would it look like when I am about 60 or 70 years old" all faded out and pretty ugly!!!0

I have two.......One on my thigh with paint brushes, vines and a heart that says Love to paint....I'm a decorative artist....It was my first....I was 48 years old
My second at 50 something, is one I designed because of my love for a special place at Old Orchard Beach, Maine.....It's a sandcastle, within it seagulls on a post, framed by a rope,along with a life preserver, and some sand dollars.....I have it on my ankle.....I love it !
I would love another, but my new hubby has nixed the idea, and I will respect his wishes.
I like tatoos if they are well done, and have meaning.0 -

I also personally don't want to deface my own skin, nor do I want to follow the crowd. Tattoos are oh so trendy right now and that makes me want to get one even less, if that's possible.
If you don't want tattoos, that's fine, but why do you have to be offensive to those that do?
1) I'm not a biker, nor have I been in prison, and I am certainly not in a punk band. These things are neccesary precursors to having tattoos.
2) There is no such thing as a 'tattoo lifestyle'.
3) Tattoos may be 'oh so trendy', but that doesn't mean everyone gets one for want of following the crowd.0 -
None here...I feel more unique these days that I don't have one.
Quoted for truth. Being unmarked and unscarred is the new full sleeves.
Me too! I wanted one when I was younger, but my first husband wouldn't allow it. I obliged. And now that I'm older and everyone else has one, the excitement of it is no longer there. I like being different. 0 -
Proud to be tattoo free. :happy:0

Not a one. Too indesisve to make that type of commitment. ")0

I have none! Never wanted any and never will.0

I LOOOOOVE tattoos, but not for me. I admire the art work and talent behind it, but I don't want any.0

Same here! I don't mind them on other people, though.0 -
Tattoo free too. I have a hard enough time making a decision about what to have for dinner, how am I going to like what I get????
Besides I'm a chicken butt to pain, I'll gawk from afar

I think a lot of them look trashy/corny. I always wanted one, but am really happen I chose not to. What I thought was cool then would maybe make me look like an *kitten* now.0

I have none 0

None! A, not my style, I change my mind WAY too much! and B, my parents always told me they would cut me off if I got one :noway:0

hello
i am also tattoo free..0 -
I'm tattoo free but I would like a few. I'll probably never have the guts or money to get one though.0
-
None for me. I think about things i'd have like to have permanently etched into my skin from just 5 years ago, and i'd be horrified at them all today. If some image or phrase is that meaningful to me, i don't think i need any kind of physical reminder about it. I'd hope my personality speaks louder than my appearance.0

No tattoos. I will never get one. I am too old and conservative to ink up my body. Personally, I feel some people really go overboard with them. Many young people who get several noticeable tattoos will probably regret getting them when they are older. I often wonder why anyone would want tattoos on their neck and face. Self-expression? I don't know. All I know is it's not for me.0
-
if there was meant to be a picture of a kitten/rose or a cobra on my buttocks, then I would have been born with it. I'll never get one, unless it GUARANTEES me passage into the Hell's Angels.
I have lots of other ways of expressing what is dear to me.0
