TheZebra Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Guys, if you were on a date with a girl and found out she had a tattoo, would you continue dating her or no? How big/noticeable would it have to be for you to say no? Just curious. Been thinking of getting a tattoo for years now, but dunno how men see it; if it'd be a turn-off or dealbreaker for most.
Lani Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 If you want a tattoo, get one. Don't worry about what other people will think. If a guy wouldn't date you because you had a tattoo, do you really want to be with someone like that anyway? It's your body. 6
Imajerk17 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Tattoos are hawt. Then again, I've dated 2 martial-arts black belts, and the last girl I got nekkid with has a tattoo and was in the Navy for a decade, so maybe I have a taste... 1
MrCastle Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I may have said this on here before, or maybe just with my friends. It depends on the location and the type of tattoo. One perfect example for me is Megan Fox. She's the queen of random, poorly placed tattos. I mean a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe's face on your forearm? Really? A nine line quote on your ribcage? I mean come on. Bad placing. At the same time, I could totally get down with a girl who had sleeves, or had a considerable portion of her body tattooed, if that was her image. I think tats are like anything else. There's good and bad. I've noticed people who have tats get really personal and defensive with any criticism. It's like anything else. There are good haircuts and bad haircuts. Good dress sense and bad dress sense, etc. So yes, bad tats exist, and a bad tat will make you look less attractive. 3
weee111 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 For me personally, I'm not a huge fan. A small tattoo is ok, a large one might be an issue, and sleeves are definitely out. It's kind of shallow but if I see a girl with large tattoos on an OLD site, I next her. If I was talking to you in person and then found out you had one it would bother me less. Don't listen to me though, it's your body - do what you want.
KungFuJoe Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 My ex had the perfect tat right on the outside of her upper thigh area. She would wear the shortest skirts and half of it would be visible at times. Hawt.
Author TheZebra Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Trust me, I asked because a guy friend of mine (who I thought was pretty liberal minded) told me recently he wouldn't like a girl with a tat, so it had me wondering what the men of the world thought. In other words, if they were as negative as his. What I was thinking of would be something simple that a tattoo artist couldn't possibly screw up. It would be small; max 2" x 2" and go somewhere where you wouldn't see unless I was naked or wearing a bikini. So really you'd only know about it if you got to see me naked or if you asked
Pyro Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Not a deal breaker for me, but a red flag if she had gotten a tattoo of an ex's name. 1

So really you'd only know about it if you got to see me naked or if you asked Like I said, depends on the tattoo and location. If you get a Mike Tyson face tattoo, you're gonna lose out on dates. That's fine if "it's my life, I am who I am, accept it or don't even waste your time with me", but realize it will affect your dating success, rightly or wrongly. Or if you get a small tattoo in an intimate place, like inner thigh or right above your beaver, but the tat is the name of some guy not named me. That's going to be a turn off. So, again, location, and the actual tat itself is what matters. 1

Just you typing "tats" and "placing" drives me up a wall!!!! It's TATTOOS and placement. Sorry. But let's do things the right fhucking way. I am immersed in the tattoo world. And actual artists hate the words I quoted above. I am obviously tattooed. Do I care if a man finds me less appealing?? NO. I am exactly who I am. Visually take it or leave it. I will only get more work done!!
Keenly Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Indifference personally. If it makes you happy, I'm into it.
ThaWholigan Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Don't mind them. They can be hot, they can be meh, they can be downright ugly . I'm indifferent, I think they look good on some women. 1
MrCastle Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Just you typing "tats" and "placing" drives me up a wall!!!![/Quote] Tats, placing. Placing tats. And actual artists hate the words I quoted above.[/Quote] Oh..no..not the...tattoo artists who I will never meet...man...I hate to upset those guys. Do I care if a man finds me less appealing?? NO. I am exactly who I am. Visually take it or leave it. I will only get more work done!! Like I said in my last post, that's cool, but every action grows or shrinks your dating pool. Rightly or wrongly, that's the truth. With my last example, if you want to get a tribal tattoo on your face because "that's who you are", that's fine. But you've now closed your pool to men who find tribal face tattoos an active turn on, or a neutral element. 2
edgygirl Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I would be more worried about how you will feel about your tattoos in 20 years. In a way, I regret mine. It's part of my history and who I am or was, but it doesn't suit my personality or taste anymore. And it's in a place where skin will get stretched eventually. Don't even want to think how it will look in 10 years. All things we don't think about much when we're 20, adventurous, and think we know it all
sweetkiwi Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Oh mister castle I will never get a tattoo on my face. And I think if we are talking about an age old art form let's at least call it by its true name. I am a tattooed woman. Who understands the meaning behind the art and also MY art. So if it happens to shrink my dating pool, I couldn't care less. I will only be getting more in my life so haters be gone. If can individual cares to INQUIRE as to the meaning of my tattoos then I will gladly explain. But. If a person comes at me with a negative attitude and expects me to be a certain way because I have tattoos, I will ignore them. I dont have time for such lame ass games. 2

I don't like tattoos at all. But I would still date a woman who had even a few "tasteful" tattoos. I wouldn't find them sexy though.
truth_seeker Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Personally, I hate tattoos on a woman. They're very unlady like.
sweetkiwi Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Personally, I hate tattoos on a woman. They're very unlady like. Thats me. Very fhucking lady like but youre right. Being raised by mt father and all I bet I could get you in a choke hold or full nelson then we'll see who's the lady :laugh:
edgygirl Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I think women covered in tattoos (sleeves or lots of them etc) are uber sexy. But I haven't seen many 70 yo having them so let's see how they look at that age
monicaelise Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I think women covered in tattoos (sleeves or lots of them etc) are uber sexy. But I haven't seen many 70 yo having them so let's see how they look at that age How many UNinked "sexy" 70-year-olds have you seen? Dunno about you, but I'm not banking on my milkshake bringing all the boys to the yard in my eighth decade lol! 1
KungFuJoe Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Speaking of tats, wife and I have considered getting our names tattooed on each other. She was thinking someplace like around our fingers where the wedding ring goes.
Jane2011 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I'm female, so maybe it doesn't matter whether or not I like tattoos on women. But...I basically think they're fine. I've seen some women with them who I've thought were really pretty and appealing. Other women who have them don't strike me as that appealing. This leads me to believe that the presence of a tattoo or not isn't really what makes a woman attractive. It's something else. Anyway, my boyfriend has a tattoo on his upper arm. I think it's hot. The thing about him is that he's not even someone you'd peg as the tattoo-having type. That is, he's no tough guy. He doesn't drink AT ALL. He's a complete nerd (in a way I love, of course) but has a pretty cool tattoo. I like it, actually.
Pyro Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Ladies is this attractive? He is Rico the Zombie and all those tattoos are real.
edgygirl Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Lol. No I am just thinking how weird it must be in general to have a tattoo or many when you're old and wrinkly, standing there with all the deformed tattoos. ( I wasnt thinking about being a 70 yo sexy woman). That's why I gave up getting more tattoos although I aesthetically admire people with many. Must look weird when we age.
sweetkiwi Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Well I have seen older women with tattoos and also old photos of women in the 1800s with tattoos. Its not such a new practice. Humans have been marking their bodies to set them apart from their fellow man since the beginning. And call me morbid but I hope my family can keep my tattoos on display. Or I will donate my skin to a museum.
