Tattoos

It most certainly is a personal preference. To me, it's not so much the tatoo itself, it's the type of art associated with it.

My son has about 4 tattoos too many but he likes them. None are of the dark Gothic variety so that doesn't bother me as much.

I did date one lady who's tatoos were of that nature which really didn't excite me all that much. In fact, I thought it as more a turn off than anything. Another lady I dated had a small rose on her shoulder which needless to say had the opposite effect.

It really is nothing more than personal preferences.

One of the problem w/ tats or piercings is stopping once you get started. Like potato chips - ya can't stop at just one!

On other folks, I neither hate them nor love them. My best 'friend w/benifits' has lots of ink, most of it well done, interesting and colorful. But I love her for her heart, not the tats.

For myself - I have enough scars and skin marks and holes already, don't plan to volunteer for more.

I removed the link because it didn't work. You can upload the photo to your album on your WH profile and link it from there.

i think tats on a man is sexy and a big turn on. as long as its not stupid like teh girls said . un even lines badly mixed colors. botched. but my hubby has from his collar bone to his elbow its a dragon and its nice i love it he also has our sons names on his other side witha cross and the name of his family member who has deceased/. sweet i think. mine is a fairy on a mushroom elegantly sitting. wings expanded. my other two is one of a rose i drew and my nickname.. on my hip bone tacky ones i think are like big barbed wire on women sleeves on women face tatoos on women and breast tats yucky

I really think that tattoos, just like piercings, depend on the person and location.
I hate those generic tattoos that you've seen a million times before and I'm slowly growing tired of belly-bars - having taken my own out about 2 years ago!!

If a man has a rough attitude, a tattoo can add to this (obviously depending on the tattoo in question)

I also think a well placed, well designed and well executed tattoo on a woman can look attractive. I personally have an 'M' on the side of my left breast ( for personal reasons) I know that this is mine and mine only as nobody will have gotten it for the same reason.
I'm a big believer in unique (or almost, seeing as unique may be wishful thinking) tattoos that carry meaning for the wearer. Half the fun is deciding the what and where

HAHA!! What a silly question It's all about preferences. I know SOOO many people who think tats distract from the inherent beauty that everyone has. That's what my dad thinks. :P Me personally, I don't think they make anyone look "tough" per se...they aren't all that painful. I enjoy them for just that reason, the adrenaline fun of getting them done. and having to care for them. Many people do think they make people look tough just because it is painful. I think it depens ALL on the placement, the ART, the INTENT, and the QUALITY.
