I'm not a male, but I think black folk need to stay away from tattoos, especially if they are of a darker complexion. Tattoos just don't look good on them. The colors aren't as vibrant, and most of the darker skinned basketball players I've seen with them look ridiculous.

Agreed.

It's kinda like asking "Do people like cream & sugar in their coffee??" Some do, some don't ,some only want a certain kind of sweetener, etc. It's all personal taste, and that varies.

Do whatcha like.

I don't.

Honesty, I'm not a big fan of them on woman. But with that said, if a woman has some smaller tats [& please no tramp stamps ], I'm cool with that .

I don't. Not even if it was upside down and said "LOOK AT ME!"

I'm not a fan of tattoos at all so no I don't like my ladies having any at all!

I don't like tattoos.They look cheap and tacky and played out since almost everyone has them.I like a female with only a few like lower back or woo-hah area.Im too skinny myself to have them.They would look hideous on me.I don't like them.

I find tats intriguing as a concept, but I almost always dislike them in practice on both guys and gals.

For some reason, though, I find temporary henna art on women very attractive, assuuming it's tastefully done.

First of all, it's the PERSON that makes the tattoo. If you're hot, then that unicorn on your shoulder is gonna look great. If you're a big ole nasty-looking troll, then that unicorn is gonna come off like an albino dragon.

I don't care either way about tattoos, unless they're really big. I don't like sleeves or neck/face tats.

Same with guys. Doesn't matter how many tats David Beckam gets, girls are still gonna find him hot.

I personally can go to a shop and spend thousands of dollars to get the same exact tats as this guy...

...and come out looking like a damn FOOL cuz I don't have his looks.

That being said...I wonder how many people will be dishing out thousand$$$ on laser tat removals when this fad dies out?

I am not a tattoo lover, and when I see couples of all races and ethnicities, walking down the street with all of those tattoos on them, I think of thug love

Not all chicks! I certainly don't find David Beckham sexy or attractive & for me, that guy in that picture I'm really no in2 muscles either, but those tattoos turn me off so much. Much prefer a slim, non-muscular guy or a cuddly guy compared to a built up body like the pic.

How YOU doin'?

I think it's pretty much just the guys that have tattoos themselves that would say tattoos on a woman are hot. Others either don't like them or just tolerate them.

I don't know when did they become just another "beauty accessory" comparable to jewelry or make up. Was it something put forward by women's magazines at one point or something? The biggest problem with the designs is that the pictures themselves aren't anything I could see most people wearing even printed on their clothes. Yet, millions and millions are having them permenantly inked to their skin.

This guy (I don't know who he is) is a PERFECT example of my tattoo theory. He's got something written on his chest that HE CAN NEVER, EVER SEE CORRECTLY.

He looks down on it - it's upside down!

He looks in a mirror - it's backwards!

All he can do is look at pictures of himself, or carry around his own three-way mirror for when he wants to see his tattoo.

Talk about poor planning!

Also, I disagree with the characterization of tattooes as a "fad". They've been in the mainstream since the late '80's. They're not fads.

They might go away, but that will be because of a societal change, not because they were a "fad" that wore off. Because, as we all know, a tattoo cannot wear off!

Finally, I don't care if you get his tats or not, but under no circumstances should you ever wear that hat!

You won't let that go, will ya?

The dude was posted in OldFriends4Sale's post...I dunno who he is either.

I know tats have been around for a while, but I wouldn't say they were "mainstream" in the 80's. It's probably been only the past 20 years or so that they've really gone mainstream.

...and what's wrong with the hat?

I figured I'd get some mileage out of my hilarious tattoo observations before Debbie Downer shows up!

Here's another problem I have with that guy's tattooes. One of the benefits of working out and having a great body is you get to see these really cool veins in your arms and shoulders. I had a personal trainer tell me the other day that my delts had great "striation". I had to look that up, but boy did I feel good when I found out what it was!

All those tattooes cover up his striation.

I'd never get any tats on my stomach because then you couldn't see my six-pack abs, if I ever had six-pack abs.

On second thought, maybe I should get six-pack abs tattooed on my stomach. Isn't that what they did in the movie "300"?

So now that we've jacked this thread...what about people who tattoo company logos on them?

Example...there's this exercise apparel company HTFU that I follow on FB (they post really hot chicks on their page)...and this is what JUST showed up on their page;

Dude just put a COMPANY LOGO on his chest!!!

That is certainly not my experience with the men I knew that liked them . The last 3 guys I was involved with all liked them on women and none of them had any at all.

Yeah, I'm sure there are some guys who have no tattoos & like woman covered in 'em, while there are some guys who have only some tattoos & like girls with either just as much or even more coverage, while there are some people who have a shitload of tattoos but don't give a shit one way or another as long as they get laid. I mean, it's gotta be all over the fuckin' map.

Maybe this is simply a question that is impossible to reply to with just one universal answer. I dunno.
I'm just killin' time here while I wait for some x-rated videos to download. It's takin' so freakin' long.
I swear to god, I don't know which is heavier; the Friday night traffic on my favorite porn site or the women that they feature in the vidoes. Woops, excuse me guys, but I just saw a massive fat ass writhin' up and down near the bottom of the other page that I have opened up on my screen.... I think I may be good to go.....

But we have to know - was the ass tattooed?????

i like tattoos, i guess. it's art. but as far as sexy... i'd want him tested for communicable bloodborne disease if he's got a whole boatload of tats. tetanus, hepatitis b and c, that sort of thing isn't sexy imo

I'm not a fan of body piercing even if it's just multiple ear piercings. I'm also not to fond of excessive amounts of jewelry, makeup, and have never liked acrylic nails even if they are just the french tips but some people think those things are beautiful so more power to them I say.

I have 13 tattoos total and want at least 4 more. Eight of them are on my wrists and as silly as this sounds, I forget they are there at times. I've had women in their 60s compliment them on several occasions. One lady thought I was wearing a bracelet until she realized it wasn't jewelry on my wrist but ink. She feigned over it for a good 2 minutes.

I get tattoos because I love tattoos and really could care less if anyone likes them or not. Honestly, It makes me happy when I don't have to explain what they mean because I didn't get them to be a conversation piece. I see then as simply being forms of self-expression. Some people draw. Some people paint. Some people buy art to hang on their walls or put in frames. I put art on my skin. It's just that simple. I don't want to be covered though because I think it starts to look a bit cluttered and busy after a point. When you look like you're dressed after you take your clothes off, yeah, um, that's too many for me personally. A few well done pieces in good locations can be very beautiful I think. All just my

Boys lie, Erin.

Not a fan of face tattoos. I'm okay with ladies with or without tattoos. If a lady has sleeves and has the sexy attitude to go with it, then she's hot.

But bad tattoos are abundant and have changed porn viewing forever.

what about monochrome? To be honest, and I'm not a fan of tattoos in general, I really like the subtler look on darker skin when it's done well without any colours except black.
