Default Tattoos & Peircings...what are your opinions

I am 31, however I don't quite look that age, I look more mid 20's not gloating but I get carded all the time and both my parents are very young looking, sometimes it can be a curse...) I have 5 tattoos...so far. None of them crazy or weird. My first one is on my lower back (i know...tramp stamp!) but it is a copy of a painting my gram did for me when I was a baby, and I had them copy the girl and they added angel wings for my pap that had passed away. I also have a nice musical peice on my foot, my son's initials on my wrist, and a music clef hear on the inside of my arm (about the size of a quarter)...but I also have my husband's nickname on the middle of my back, which is luckily also my son's nickname too (wheww!) They are all tasteful and not trashy and none really visible unless I have summery clothes on.

I also have really wanted to get my nose peirced...but not the weird kind. Just the teeny tiny diamond that you can only see when the light hits it. A couple women I work with have it and it took me a couple months before I even noticed they had one.

So what are guy's opinions on them? I know my H loves them, because he is mostly covered in tattoos, but for guys that aren't. What do you think of women when you see that? Remember that you wouldn't know that I had them unless I had those body parts exposed, which isn't often...

Just wanted a man's opinion other than my H's...

wife and I got tats about 5 yrs ago.

tats are cool if they are artistic and not over done(don't care for sleeves they just all blend together and looks like a green blob).

not to crazy about face pericings.

espically the nose a buddy of mine calls them bugger collectors.

haha... I always wondered how I would blow my nose..lol

Mine are very artistic. There is only 1 guy I go to to get them done and I am verrrryyy picky and particular with them, so they still have to be pretty. I don't have anything that isn't delicate.

umm, what about an exwifes name tattooed across your hand? what the h311 do i do with that.

tattoos an piercings on women are not my thing. pierced ears are nice though for some reason.

never had a woman with pierced n1ppl3s or labias and really have no desire, in fact it would be a complete turn off for me.

HAHA. H has my name tattood down the back of his arm. Although that is something that he can easily have covered. On your hand though...what about using the tatoo fading cream until it fades a little and then you can get something else tattood over it. Even if it fades a little that would still help in covering it up.

And you really can't see all mine unless I am in a bikini or something. Not many people know that I have them unless they get a glimpse of it under my sleve or something.

And the pierced privates...ummmm no!! I agree with you!! I do have my belly button pierced but I haven't had it in since I got pregnant with my son

i have been thinking about it for the last couple of years now. im sure my ex fiance didnt appreciate it too much either.

the thing about even hidden tats, if it was my wife or gf, i would still see them at some point. they are just not my thing but at the same time, i dont put down other women for having them. just not my woman.

Well I would hope that you would see if your GF had tatts,,,unless she never took her clothes off..lol I would check into the cream. I even saw vanishing cream at Walmart the other day where the scar cream is. What can it hurt? Or you could always go to a trustworhy tattoo shop to see what they could come up with to give you a cover up. I wouldn't worry too much about it though.

i have considered this, the only reason i hesitate is because i work at a church and im sure they might say something if it was too big but i still might if i can get something the same size. maybe just do something to kind of hide it a bit so my next girl wont have it staring at her every time she sees my hand.

and yes, if my gf had any i would know. i insist on seeing EVERY INCH of her.

I'm sure if you find someone that is a good artist they can come up with something that won't be much bigger than what you have. If your church doesn't have a problem with what you have now I doubt that they would have a problem with you covering it up considreing what it says

and LOL on the last part!

Just because a guy has tattoos on his hand doesn't mean he isn't a good person. thankfully people are slowly coming to that realization.

I have a complete back tat and my belly as well. All very tasteful and artistic with very deep personal meanings for me. None are visible in office wear, and only when I wear a tank top in the summer. My H has none... and has no opinion about them when I asked.

Just as a side note... and any tat artist will tell you... tatting your spouses name on yourself is the the kiss of death... it just has a very bad omen attached to it. Perhaps you can have a symbol to represent your spouse, but not the written name.

I love my tats!

RoseRed- Luckily the nickname that is tattood on my back is also my son's nickname. But still, I think I might get it covered anyway.

Ok I know I'm not a guy, but I think tattoos and piercings on anyone are awesome....unless they are way overdone...I personally love both and would have more, but my H hates tattoos and piercings on women...I have one tattoo that I had before we were together and when we got together I had my ears, belly button and nose pierced, the belly button came out when I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter because I didn't know they had pregnancy belly rings and the hole closed up right away and my nose piercing came out around the same time because it got infected and that closed up too super fast. I have my ears done 5 times on one side 4 on the other, but most have closed up now

Idk most guys that I have known, unless they have some themselves, don't usually care too much for tattoos on women, piercings in certain places are usually ok.....
