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.
Yup. It is like defacing of art with graffiti. Just how I feel personally about it.

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.
its kinda like a doctor, they are sooo used to seeing people, its just part of the job.
like your barista at starbucks, they really dont remember you, or care anything about your life...
or the guy behind the counter at mcdonalds, he isnt really happy to see you, he dosent want to help you....
in other words its just a job.
i also happen to believe if the spouse dosent like it, and no compromise can be reached, than its a no-go.
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
Yes, please do think about this.
There are many of us that flat love the beauty of the woman as she is. A tattoo can seem like a billboard in the middle of an otherwise beautiful sight. I enjoy getting lost in my wifes naked body. It can be mesmerizing.
Forgive me for comparing a woman to a car. BUT, give me the clean lines of a well made car over one that has bumper stickers and useless detail. Clean lines and curves are very sexy. Individual tastes but when it comes to women AND cars, I am a purest. LOL.
I get that these are meaningful to some people. I respect that.

Firstly it depends how good the artist is, i don't care man or woman, i am sure either see alot of different bodies. I am not shy.
front, right across down inside bikini line, both sides and across, the emphasis is on fine detail, and yes it is going to hurt
I was in the Navy 30 years ago and never got drunk enough to get a tat. Back then the only folks who had tats seemed to be miltary and outlaw bikers. I don't necessarily dislike them, but these days they just seem so damn trendy. I think I recoil a bit by that alone.
Entropy I like your car analogy - to me tattoos are kinda like racing stickers - they don't really do anything to make the car better or worse, sometimes they make it more interesting to look at, simetimes its just tacky or good for a laugh.
I'll take a tuned racing version of a supercar with or without decals, even though I know the fastest cars DO have tattoos - if I could get a street legal one without decals that was just as fast I'd prefer it. Now stick those cars on a cheap or not so pretty car and it doesn't really impress me at all, I suppose a witty bumper sticker that matches the car can be kinda appropriate, but still just seems like a novelty item somehow.
Some look sexy depending on what and where. However, my retired MIL recently got one in what I suppose is a late life crisis and it makes her look trashy.
What do you think of women with any number of tattoos?
Do you make general assumptions, think it's hot, trashy, etc..?
Does it say something about her, or do they not make any impression?

I must say that I do make general assumptions; when I see someone (anyone) with a lot of tats, I tend to think how un-individual tatoos have become. They used to mean something, but now that so many have them, it's just like anything else that's gone mainstream....
IMO...
Plus, they just don't look nice after 15-20 years, all fadey, blurry, and greenish-blue...

I have had fast cars. They were fun like fast women. LOL.
Many are awesome for a few hot laps and others you take home and pamper.

I haven't read the whole thread, but to answer I don't really like them myself. My wife has been doing this sort of MLC/finding herself/acting crazy thing for about 18 months now and she's talking about getting either tattoos or else piercings of some kind. I'm not wild about the idea but then again it would be least of my problems.
I guess overall I can admire a woman with really well done tattoos that go all out, though I wonder if she'll end up looking bad after a few years. But more power to her if she likes that, I just wish it wasn't my wife thinking of doing that kind of thing. I think it looks somewhat like an advertisement that she's got issues, but I'm much more old fashioned than my wife which is part of our problem. The funny thing is, she jokes about doing things like getting the word "tramp" tattooed on the small of her back, so even she knows it's not necessarily the smartest thing to do underneath it all.
