Is anyone else tired of seeing women who are a mess with tattoos?
No one who ever gets a tattoo seems satisfied; so they get another, and another, and...
I’ve always considered them to be primarily the domain of Navy/Marines and bikers.
The “individuality” the bearer of a tattoo had in the past is washed out by it’s becoming a fad. Ironically, not having them seems to be more a sign of not being part of the “herd” now than having them.
Agree. Natural, all the way is best and sexiest too. Even the less offensive ones, like a really attractive woman with a full color “sleeve” type tatoo - I can’t help but wonder “what’s that going to look like in 20 years?”. Won’t be pretty...
Horrible work by untalented tattoo artists on slobs too stupid to know their tattoos suck.
Painted women ain’t for me. Inked women are even lower on the totem pole. Give me a natural beauty any and every day.
I’ve been know to say “Hey, you! Future lampshade!”
I knew I guy who only got one tattoo while he was in Germany.
Blue numbers on his forearm...
That said, I do get dismayed seeing girls drop out of sight for a while to show back up somewhat disfigured, and think, WTF was she thinking?
I have learned to accept it as part of island culture for white and brown girls.
A small part of it is very druggy, incoherent, usually seen on white chicks that look to be into the drug culture. Like they were passed out and someone had a ball with the needle, randomly doing stuff.
Why defile a woman’s beautiful body with something that just looks like bruise?
Now, guys. I don’t look at men so I don’t care.
If I ever got a tattoo, it would read “What the hell are you looking here for?”
Tattoos ate nasty looking whether on male or female. The only exception is tastefully done tattooed makeup.
tattoos do nothing for me... then again I am not hip to the times I guess.
Ping.
My oldest son has a Celtic weave band tatt around his upper right arm. He knew his dad and I would be upset, (he was out of college when he got it) so he compared his “art” to the two small tattoos my (late) dad had on his forearm. HUGE difference. Pap got his as an 18 year old, May HS grad, drafted into the Army, given basic training, and dropped in Italy to fight Moussolini before Halloween. Huge difference for scared kids, half a world away from home fighting in a world war to display their military insignia/unit on their arm, compared to today’s “trendy” types looking thru a book for their “statement.”
I never thought of tattoos as odd, as I knew my dads was from his time in “the service.” He kept in touch with many of his friends from his unit...their bond was that tight...til he passed away.
Huge difference as to why “greatest generation” got theirs.
Tattoos on a woman are a definite turnoff for me. Besides being ugly to look at, I question their judgement for doing such a thing.
Was out to dinner with my family last night and one “woman” waiting to be seated had a (about) 4” x 4” tattoo on her chest in the cleft of her rather large bossom. And of course was wearng a blouse that was cut low enough to show it all off. Classy. :-/
1.) Men who have served in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps.
2.) Men who have served time in prison.
3.) Men who work in dangerous professions such as firefighters, oil rig workers or high rise construction.
Everyone else is guilty of TRY HARD syndrome, and tattoos look like graffiti on a woman's body.
Yes I am, I can see a beautiful girl and then see her arm that is one big tatoo changes my mind about her quickly!

I was tired of it 15 years ago. What took you so long?
Most of my generation, born during WWII, saw tattooed women as being rough trade. Men, not so much.
Worse, to me, is men with earrings and all piercings both male and female. But, each new generation gets to go to hell in their own handcart. Lord knows my generation did some crazy stuff in the 1960s.
“Huge difference as to why “greatest generation” got theirs.”
I visited an old couple from church at the nursing home and just getting aquainted.
The man had the big Navy anchor on his biceps. “Oh - you must have been in the Navy?”
His wife piped up “Harry drove a landing craft at D-Day.”
Yeah - I guess he earned it!
