Default Impression of women with tattoos..

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?
Thanks for your thoughts!

You're going to get varied responses. It really comes down to what each man finds attractive. I have a couple of my own, so perhaps I'm a bit biased. Generally speaking, I find them to be "neutral". It doesn't amplify or detract from their appearance if they have a couple. However, I'm not much of a fan for complete sleeves/whole body tattoos. I want to see some skin, not just ink.

Yes. I make assumptions.

The absolute best opinion I can have of a woman with a tattoo is that she is "exotic." From there, depending on the tattoo(s) the opinion can reach as low as "methhead trash."

I assume that if she has a visible tattoo, she probably has other tattoos that are not visible. If the woman in question has (visible) unusual (non-earlobe) piercings, skip "exotic" regardless of the tattoo, and assume a better-than-50% chance that she has Hep C.

If she has a full sleeve tattoo, I assume she has been with more men than a porn star, most of them bikers.

I assume generally that women start off with sex. Some move on to drug use. Some move past drug use to piercings and tattoos. I assume that to get to tattoos, you have been though sex and drugs. And rock-n-roll, just for good measure.

I'm not saying that all women progress this far, or even in that order. I am sure there are plenty of tattooed virgins out there who have never had a drink in their lives. I've just never met any of them.

Having said all this, I don't actually care that much. People make all kinds of choices, and I could care less what life experiences led a random woman to get tattooed, or whatever else she has done in life. I know one woman who I am told has 7 tattoos, and I never would have thought it- none are visible, and she is a good wife to a very good friend. And I think mostly well of, her. Her tattoo-edness simply doesn't figure in my opinion of her.

I toss my general assumptions out the window when dealing with people as individuals, because you just never know, and assumptions get in the way of finding out.

Yes, I'm an elitist *sshole.

Hi--

Not a man...but I think it depends on age group, maybe how he was raised. Or where he lives.

When I was younger my mom and grandmother and I lived near a biker gang headquarter, and my uncle had a few tattoos...so dosent bother me.

I'm in my early thirties and my husband has tattoos and is going to go for quarter sleeved. I'm getting a few in the next 5 years or so.

To me what someone looks like on the outside dosent matter, I know some knock outs...just drop dead beautiful...then we talk, well let's just say they aren't so pretty anymore.

Guess I'm just "old school" socially conservative. I have absolutely no use for them at all!

It depends. I really like that my wife has none.

What the tattoo is matters. The quality of the tattoo matters. Where the tattoo is matters. If they were done in prison it matters.

Some tattoos can be hot. I think a lower back tattoo can be hot and still be trashy.

I know they are trendy now. The biggest problem I have with them is that unlike other forms of expression they are more or less permanent.

Also, one quality tattoo in the right place may be fine. But then this becomes a culture thing where there is a next and a next and so on.

I :heart: blowjobs would be a poor choice IMHO. But a tongue pearcing would have some synergy.

That said, if that is what folks want to do then fine. But there are few tattoos that have made me feel better about that person.

If I were to have a tattoo it would be one of:

USN Anchor like my dad had.

VF41 Black Ace Patch

Something Bushido related.

I know this was not the question but just pointing out it is something I have thought about for myself. I would never do this without my wife being fine with it. I think tattoos tend to be more masculine like a beard.
I seriously doubt I would ever get one.

My Ex got a very large all black Ace of Spades on her arm.

Great tattoo - if you are a trucker named Butch.

Although it seems a lot of women are getting several small, discreet ones as part of their MLC. Nothing wrong with that. Keep 'em small and add a little color.

I have jumped to conclusions way too many times in my life, only to be proved wrong.

People have different motivations for what they do and how they present themselves.

I make my judgments based on actions, not appearances now.

But I am a "biker" and tend to see lots of tats. No shock anymore.

Is it just me or is it almost more common to have one than not these days???

Other than maybe my kids names, I just can't imagine what I would want permanently etched on my skin.

Also - although I don't normally think Tats are sexy - I've seen a couple of Suicide Girls shows on Showtime and follow them on Facebook - incredibly beautiful women!!! Very unique looks!!!
