Like with everything - it all depends on what, where and how much. Maori face tattoo will be too much, but something less blatant won't be a problem. It can be even sexy

Which two don't you like?
Daniel Y. said:I'll date girl because she's fun and intelligent, not because of (or absense of) her tattoo.
ehrenfest said:That is exactly the same as my opinion. But there is definitely a superstrong correlation between having tattoos and being unintelligent, so I would need sufficient evidence to the contrary before I dated someone with tattoos.

Borek said:Errrrmmm... No, on the second thought, I will leave that uncommeneted. Let it be just metal on the tongue.

turbo-1 said:I have a niece in her mid-30's who looks at least a decade younger. She is petite, cute, smart, and funny, and she's raising 3 daughters to be mature, respectful, and responsible. She has a floral spray tattooed across the small of her back and it looks nice on her.
If you saw this lady while she was delivering the mail, you'd be smitten and wonder how somebody so young got to be a permanent mail-carrier. If you spoke with her, you'd be charmed by her combination of ready humor and intelligence. If all that can be spoiled by a tattoo (once you finally saw it), I'd call that a sign of immaturity and insecurity. Maybe it's a cultural bias or some kind misguided generalization about women who get tattoos, but it is wrong.Cyrus said:Of course, that's a matter of personal opinion.

I have a friend who has a tattoo and multiple ear-piercings and she is a veterinary assistant and one of the sweetest people you'd ever meet. Another sweet younger woman is an organic gardener with a floral tattoo on her ankle. These are responsible working women living in rural central Maine, and they are not cheap, promiscuous, or morally compromised. Maybe you're looking in the wrong places for women or are using your preconceptions to reject them without knowing them.
You recently called lower-back tattoos "tramp stamps" and that is an unfortunate characterization that demeans the women who have them, including my niece. A nice floral tattoo in a place that is normally covered during working hours, but can be seen when wearing more revealing clothing, bathing suits, etc, is not a sign that a women is a tramp. It is a sign that she has decided to get a body decoration, but in a place that is easily concealed under most circumstances.Cyrus said:Im sure these are all very very nice ladies. But I am not dating them. There is not misguided about it. Its called preference. I can also find equally nice and smart women that don't have tattoos on them.

There aren't that many "t"s in bicep, Cy. I had a friend in college from Kenya who had tribal scarring on his forehead. It was ritual scarification, healed open with ash from a cow-dung fire. Bernie was a cool guy and I liked him a lot. His parents were officials in the government of Kenya, and some of his brothers had gotten back to the tribal ceremonies and some had not.Cyrus said:That tells me a lot about a person. If they were from a village in africa and had a tribal tattoo, I'd say cool I understand. Its your culture.
When you have barbed wire around your bicept,...yeah...o-kayyyy...

I have been riding Harleys for over 30 years, and have never felt the urge to get inked, but I never disrespect any of my friends who make that choice, nor their ladies. Getting inked is a personal decision. I have a close friend who is the best friend of the biggest inker in Pittsburgh, and his entire upper body is covered with with dragons, unicorns, Hindu demons, etc, etc. I love him without reserve, and I cannot possibly accept some gender-based standard that brands females with tattoos as inferior.
Oops, did I accidentally ban Cyrus?Cyrus said:I also dislike blonde women.
Evo said:I confirmed with my daughter, they are indeed called "tramp stamps" and are looked down on by her peers.
