I’ve spent several days this week at beaches in Italy... and I think the problem of “hideous tattoos” is even worse among Italians than Americans.
Are you sure all those women were Italian? I say this because many from northern Europe head south to Spain, Italy and Greece for their "holidays."
I admit, it's hard to tell who is an Italian woman when they are in swimming mode. On the street, it's usually easier to pick out the tourists from their elaborate sneakers or the slovenly way they dress (Americans) or their geeky attire (Germans).

You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord. —Leviticus 19:28
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own. —1 Corinthians 6:19
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31
Let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. —1 Peter 3:4
“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. —1 Corinthians 10:23-24
Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. —Romans 14:23
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. —James 4:7
“ device that average-looking women can use to turn a man’s head).”
Yeah, I think that’s the mentality behind it. However, just because my head is turning doesn’t mean I’m impressed. Sometimes our heads turn because we’re disgusted. But nonetheless it’s sad when the beautiful young woman who doesn’t need any help getting attention tats herself up

“ As I see it, tattoos are a form of graffiti. It disgusts me that so many young and otherwise beautiful women ruin their appearances with tattoos.”
Yeah no kidding! That hummingbird tat she got in her early twenties is going to look like a turkey vulture when she hits her 50’s.

Same story here. Very attractive lady on the daughter in laws side. Hubby is a tattoo artist and quite talented. He’s all inked up but she bought in too. Up her neck and sleeves. Now they are divorced. I wonder if she regrets it. Looks like hell on a damn good looking woman.
Notice it was referenced in the John Candy character’s line in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
In the car that just burned up.

“Was that seat hot or what? I feel like a Whopper. Turn me over, I’m done on this side. I’m afraid to look at my ass. There’ll be griddle marks”.
