In a word?

Don’t.

Nothing I know of lowers my opinion of a woman faster than seeing she has a tattoo. Well, that and any woman who has excess piercings. By excess I mean any more than one hole in each earlobe.

Oh, come now. A tattoo lowers your opinion even faster than watching a woman eat her own boogers?

I’m back in the dating scene and all of a sudden, now I’m on a quest to find a woman WITHOUT a tattoo...maybe then I’ll finally settle down....who knows.

I don't have any tats; however, I have two piercings in my left ear and one in my right. In the 80s it was cool to have two piercings in the left and one in the right. I only wear a stud earring in the third hole once in while so it doesn't close up on me.

LOL. I doubt ozaukeemom is looking to date YOU, so the reason you provide for not getting a tattoo probably doesn't matter a whole lot. Unless she of course has expressed a romantic obsession with you or your profile I'm not familiar with.

Now, the HepC infection study that somebody posted is much more convincing.

Oh, and I find naval rings sexy. Every woman should immediately run out and get one b/c I find them sexy. In a word... do!

My sentiments exactly!!!

INDEED.

Seems to this shrink that there MUST be some yearning . . . some unmet need . . .

1. need for belonging;

2. need to feel special to someone for some reason;

3. need to be noticed;

4. need to feel attractive;

5. need to feel hip;

6. need to feel individual while going with the tattoo herd;

. . .

All of which, each of which, smacks of serious immaturity, AT BEST.

Also, in many cases . . . there seems to be a strong thread of rebellion. Certainly many employers view such as a fierce indication of independence, stubborn atypical behavior patterns etc. all of which kind of raise the red flag for a prospective employer of:

THIS CHARACTER IS !!!!NOT!!!! A TEAM PLAYER.

I know of a manager at a home supply sort of chain that’s required to wear long sleeves to avoid turning off customers.

Some customers even have such an aversion and fear related to tattooed people that it can be a serious problem with that type of customer.
