I just wanted to ask the populous on here whether it is generally considered 'off putting' for a woman to be heavily tattoo'd?
I ask this because the few tattoo related questions that i've read on here usually end up being answered by people of the opinion that it's not a good idea, especially in the case of a woman.
for me, it does not worry me, but it depends on what sort they are, old ones, which are a bit of a mis match dont look that good, but nice ones are very attractive
Each to their own but personally I don't like it and could never do that to myself. I don't like tattoos but as I say , each to their own. Besides , i'm scared of needles so it would be a definite no no for me. I think that if it's small it's not as bad but hate seeing whole arms , back etc covered. I just wince when I see that thinking of what they must have gone through to get it done. It may seem like a good idea now but will it still seem as nice when they are a wrinkly old pensioner ?
A really beautiful full back tatoo is gorgeous, but little bits and cartoons on arms and legs etc look tackey imho. If it's a statement and a work of art then lovely, if it's a drunken plan to have "I love Robbie Williams" on your ar5e then best not eh?
I have a few tattoos on my arms and have had various bits pierced. I do see tattoos and body piercing as body art, but too much of either, is not a good look generally speaking, but its usually done for the person concerned not the on looker, this why many people like myself, have these things done for ourselves and not seen by anyone else, except a partner maybe!!
thanks for taking the time to answer, it's pretty much what i was thinking anyway...;)
Guess it's all a case of preference and whether youre the type of person who can handle the stares and not care, or it's an attention thing.. I myself am heavily tattoo'd including upper chest, arms and legs.
I know lots of people don't approve, including my parents, but then again I am 33.. I respect all your opinions and thank you for taking the time...
