Is anyone else tired of seeing women who are a mess with tattoos?
Viscerally disgusting. Looks like cancers eating the skin.
Oh come on now...you’ve been around FR long enough to know that topics like this bring out the “best” in people here. ;^)
It is enlightening to see how judgemental many are. Especially when one considers the tattooed folks have little to no impact on their lives or do them no harm.
FTR, I don’t have tattoos nor do I plan to get any...although when I was younger I did entertain the idea, however briefly. I was a bit “incapacitated” when I was thinking about it, but the lack of $$ prevented it. I thank my lucky stars that I had drank most of my money away.
Nice guy too. I was there, and was like, "I have got to talk to this guy." I was the precinct lead for Ron Paul, all dressed up in my suit and tie. I thought to myself, this guy has to be a Ron Paul voter. I was right. He had a little acreage with his girlfriend, and raised goats if I recall correctly.

High school class rings come to mind ... “
Say what? I still wear my class ring from 55 years ago.
My favorite saying about tattooed women is “Spray paint on a Rembrandt.”
I’ve seen a couple that were tasteful. The vast majority are flat UGLY.
If you’ve been happily married 42 years, how do you know that women with tattoos will be likely to jump in bed on a first date?
There’s a whole group of women, like Danielle from American Pickers, who have professionally done tattoo sleeves and dress in retro styles. I forget what they call themselves (Rockabilly?), but slutty is definitely not it. Those sleeves are created by experienced artists and cost a ton of money (and take a ton of time).
And technically, you can’t get a professionally done tattoo when you’re “messed up”. You’ll be tossed out of any legit tattoo shop.
Song lust....oops a typo. I missed that sorry. but for the song Lydia by Groucho it might not be on a typical song list. Maybe it was meant to be.
I saw a research piece that surveyed tatooed women on a large number of subjects done by some well-known institute or organization........that was not my opinion......sorry, can’t remember the source, didn’t bookmark it.......
Many moons ago I said exactly those words to my 18yo SIL when she just had to have a tat. Today she would give anything to have it removed but can’t afford it.
The Bible says don’t do it. Leviticus 19:28

How many people who trot that verse out can tell us (without looking it up) what verse 27 says.
There are one heck of a lot more people breaking 27 than 28, but funny, you never hear a word about it.
I wonder why that is?

Well gee then, I guess Tats are perfectly okey-dokey, then.
Just curious, do you eat shrimp or other shellfish?
Do you mix wool and cotton and linen?
Great response to a simpering liberal!
Okee dokee.
Sorry to read about your anger issues.....

FWIW-
You sure about that "settled science"?
Native Americans smoked tobacco for a thousand years before the arrival of Europeans, and they didn't suffer from lung cancer. My granddad smoked for 70 years, and never even had a smoker's hack. He died in his eighties of unrelated causes. The last chest x-ray I got showed no traces of tar on my lungs, even after 45 years of smoking.
It's my opinion that there's lots of junk in the science behind lung cancer, and the link to tobacco use as a primary cause. If it were true, Congress would have banned tobacco for human consumption long ago. No, the powers-that-be found a way to hold a gun to the heads of one of the most lucrative industries in the world, and have robbed them of a great deal of their income. That's ALL it's about.
I don't doubt that your dad has cancer, but I doubt anyone knows the true cause. You and his doctors have merely gone into agreement with a questionable regime of studies which claim that it's related to tobacco use. I trust that about as much as I trust the 'studies' on man-made global warming.
Right now I’m wearing a cotton shirt and cotton overalls with a wool undershirt. Don’t have no tats though... and to answer the op’s question I don’t think they’re becoming or ladylike, although I’m not supposed to notice that kinda stuff...
Please understand that I mean no sarcasm at all ... purely innocent curiosity ... in asking "why?"
I, too, believe the Government’s interest in tobacco stems from the income they receive by taxing it’s sale. I do however know that the vast majority of lung cancer victims are smokers Sometimes it’s just bad luck. A small number of people who develop lung cancer have never smoked. The overwhelming number of lung cancer victims are smokers. Here’s what happens when they light up. But first, a little background: the cells that line your lungs are delicate secretory cells with cilia. The cilia constantly waft impurities, dirt particles, etc, up and out of your lungs. The smoke, tobacco or dope, paralyses the cilia and they fall off. Then the cell goes through a metaplastic process.....changing from a secretory cell to a protective cell, like the cells that make up your skin. But the protective cells don’t belong in your lung passageways. They start dividing at random and that is what cancer is. Cells dividing at random and out of control. So, not all smokers will develop lung cancer, but the overwhelming number of lung cancer victims are smokers. But, so far, we still have free will in this country. My mom used to tell me how much she enjoyed smoking. And she didn’t develop lung cancer. So, it’s up to the individual. Meanwhile, there will come a time, as long as we allow Obamacare to be the ‘law of the land’ where the Government will dictate, under penalty of prosecution, your and my behavior. As Kirsten Powers said on FoxNews, ‘why should I have to pay for their health problems’. But that’s what happens when the Government starts using taxpayer monies to dole out health care. Rant done. I celebrate that, in America, we are still ‘allowed’ some free will. I suspect the choice of getting inked is in that mix, too, for now.
