Would you date a girl with tatoos?

[Averagesupernova]

I'm very inclined to say no. The day before yesterday I was at the mall and there was a nice tall blonde girl infront of me in line. I checked her out since her back was towards me. She had nice curves on the way down and then BAM a nice green tattoo on her foot. That was a deal breaker.

Could be her way of sorting out guys who have what she considers to be 'hangups' about inconsequential things. I find it interesting that in this post you refer to her as a 'nice tall blonde girl' and a few posts later you state that you dislike blonde women. So if she had not had the tattoo and you chatted her up and dated her how long would it have taken you to realize that you don't like blonde women and sent her packing? Or would the nice curves and long legs make up for it? I'd say she's lucky she had the tattoo.

My wife has a tattoo of a snake that starts on the little toe of her left foot. It spirals up her leg, then around her torso and the finally around her right arm, with the tongue "licking" the back of her right hand.

No, not really, but it would be cool! She has often stated she wanted a tattoo (not the snake I described, more like one of those "Celtic braids" around her wrist or ankle) and I couldn't possibly see how that would change how I see her.

A pierced eyebrow though...ooh, that makes my eyes water just looking at them.

I actually use a tattoo machine every once in a while, so no.

Unless its tribal.

I like people who arnt scared to get tatoos. so yeh its good

How long, after I slept with her. I'll give you a silly answer to your silly question. Ok, Ill post more seriously an answer to your question in a bit.

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

 

[maverick_starstrider]

Wow, this seems pretty unanimous. I however thing tats are hot (well most tats). Of course I have a darker look myself. (blond also happens to be my least favorite hair colour).

My wife has 3 tatoos, none of which are visible when she's fully clothed. I really like one of them, but the other two I'm not so fond of.

I'll date girl because she's fun and intelligent, not because of (or absense of) her tattoo.

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.

 

[mirroredfire]

I don't think id even care if there were tats on their face either as long as they were well done and looked good.

What? Have you got any peer reviewed articles to hand to back that up?

Well, I'd prefer:

Cincinnati Royals 4ever
Kansas City Kings 4ever
Omaha/Kansas City Kings 4ever
Sacramento Kings 4ever

I always felt sorry for that guy in the 1996 Cleveland Browns photo that had a Broncos tatoo clearly visible. Browns fans hate the Broncos.

If she was old enough to have a NY Giants or a Brooklyn Dodgers tatoo, I probably wouldn't be interested.

In other words, tatooing a sports team on your body is a really dumb idea (unless it's a tatoo of the only NBA team to be founded in California - that would be cool.)

Uh. I think I'd be turned off enough if she were sleeping with one sports team. If she were sleeping with four sports teams, well... I guess they'd have to invent a new term for that.

No, that was just my personal observations. Of course, this depends on how you define intelligence. I kind of included academic achievement and academic motivation in my definition, not just built-in IQ or whatever. So what I meant was more like "sophistication".

 

[moe darklight]

I don't have a problem with tattoos. As long as she's not all covered in tattoos, a few small ones here and there I think can even be cute. I especially like those tattoos some girls get on the small of their back.

These would definitely be a turn-off though:

1. Neck tattoos— god. what were you thinking.
2. Face tattoos— I doubt I even have to explain why this isn't a good idea... unless you're out to prove you's a thug.
3. Back tattoos, or on the back of the shoulder— I don't know why, but it makes girls look manly to me.
4. Piercings— I hate piercings; they are just disgusting. have you ever seen a piercing up close? ... so gross. I was with this girl once who had a tongue-piercing. Such a turn-off. I don't want some slimy metal ball rattling in my mouth when I kiss somebody.

I really hope those 4 go out of style soon because they are all horrid ideas.

Errrrmmm... No, on the second thought, I will leave that uncommented. Let it be just metal on the tongue.

I definitely could've worded it better

A really good friend of mine has a lip piercing. It's not really ugly or anything...

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.

Of course, that's a matter of personal opinion.

Of course, that's a matter of personal opinion.

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.

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.

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.

 

[mattmns]

I'd prefer no tattoos, but as long as it is nothing too "ridiculous" then it'd probably be alright.

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.

Really? I haven't seen it. I have seen a correlation between girls who have well thought out tattoos and intelligence though.

The thing is though, a large portion of women wear jeans and shirts so that a large portion of their back is revealed, so that the tattoo is always in plain view. I call them tramp stamps all the time, but I don't really mean anything by it. Everyone I know, including girls who have them, refer to them as tramp stamps. Although I do like the term ass antlers a bit more . I should add that my friends who have tramp stamps are not slutty and the tattoos are done in good taste.

EDIT: Haha I just remember when I saw a girl have a tramp stamp that said "BARBIE", in pink and purple. I call that a tramp stamp, I don't care who you are.

No not really, if I saw her tattoo I wouldn't think that cause its floral, and artsy. Now, for example, my Gifted teacher's tramp stamp is definitely that, it's not artsy and it looks tacky, aslo it was way way lower than the "small of the back".
