I don't find them attractive. Since so many people have them now (and usually in the same few places - ankle, upper arm, etc), they are hardly the mark of individuality that their owners often aim for. Not having one is more of a statement of individuality than having one.
I have nothing against people with tattoos and this has nothing to do with any assumed lifestyles, or morals, etc. In fact, since they are so common, I really don't assume anything about the person. I would not rule out a woman based on her having a tattoo but I would not find it an attractive feature.

My parents and siblings all have tattoos, my siblings have between 7 and 10 each. Myself, I don't think that they are a mark of individuality, I don't do it to make a statement, it's about me and nothing else, but mine mean something to me. I don't care that they'll be there when I'm 80 years old, I love my ink because of the meaning behind them.
Tat(s) on tits and/or neck for a woman = trash. Sorry but Ive never met and or seen a lady with one in either of those locations, that Ive thought "yep shes the kind of girl to bring home to Mom and/or marry"
Being the socially minded liberal that I am, and despite being fiscally conservative, I cannot help but feel that regarding people wanting tattoos placed upon their person should always remain a very personal choice; or better put, in the spirit of laissez faire, in that in choosing to get one, they have to richly embrace the real possibility that the majority of a given society is going to either overtly or covertly cast dispersions on their seemingly deviant behavior.
But as long as that person who is getting the tattoo, is willing to accept that discriminating element by the rest of society, then I have absolutely no problem with it, provided of course, that the art is not deemed to be vulgar or offensive in any way.
Some look great. Some, not so much. And, I think there reaches a point of "too much." A friend of ours has several, and the ones that are normally visible are fine. But, she's also got a full back tat (which is a constant work in progress as she gets color in different areas completed, etc), and that's just too much. Posted via Mobile Device
Women have every right to do whatever they want to their bodies, but for my personal taste, I don't think women look good with tattoos... which is odd to me because I'm an artist so I can really appreciate a well-crafted tattoo.
I guess it's just that a woman's body is so naturally and purely beautiful to me, that marking it up just somehow defaces the natural beauty of her body. Tattoos just seem more like a masculine thing to me, so mentally I just can't come to accept them being on a woman's body.
There is just so very much that is so beautiful about a woman's body that, as a man, I absolutely do not want to ever be distracted from that natural beauty by some piece of abstract art!
That's an interesting line of thought- it has crossed my mind before that getting one would change that smooth, untouched look of my skin & that's definitely something to think about..
Like others have said, it's almost rare now to Not have any tats- that's a unique trait in itself.
I'm appreciating the comments here- very helpful!(: Posted via Mobile Device
when i am back out in LA next year i will be getting a below the bikini line tattoo, very fine detail, black ink shading, maybe some colour in the wild flowers, so a lady garden theme and my own art design. I have had a tattoo before years ago that was on my wrist and had it removed.
It will be the only tattoo i will have, so it will be a hidden tattoo.

Not that it matters a whole lot but with this, but will it be a man or women doing this?
This is front or back? Sorry for my ignorance just wondering how much exposure there is and how much if any work a steadying hand does. No doubt this varies. from place to place. Some women get some pretty intimate tattoos and piercings.
I think getting the tattoo however where it is not for the whole world to share is a different perspective.
My main issue is when a hsuband and wife disagree and one of them just does it anyway.
