When does getting tattooed go too far?

Question

Getting tattoos seems to be the thing to do anymore. But there has to be a balance between the accepted amount and way too much. What is your opinion?

Do whatever makes you feel good. I do think that changing your body so much that it looks non-human is something that society frowns upon, but hey, you do you. I myself wouldn't get my entire body tattooed, but I completely support it if others do it. I would definitely get small tattoos tho. Also, about the women thing, I think that tattoos should go wherever you want them to be put, if you want one near your chest, that's your choice. There's always someone out there that'll think it's really cool!

My back is covered, my side my thigh and I have a sleeve. I have a job with the public and I don't have to cover them. I'm in contact with lots of elder men and women, only one negative comment and a elder spoke up on my behalf before I could get a word out. This is my body, the men and/or women who don't like it doesn't have to move in with me and be my best friend. I've dated guys who doesn't have tattoos. People need to focus on and put more effort in important things like what's for dinner.

Let people do what they want. It's only in professional environments where I can see it being an issue, because you represent an entity far larger than yourself. I personally don't mind tattoos in any quantity.

I love tattoos. A good 75% of my body is covered in them but I would never have my face tattooed. That is going too far for me.  Same deal with women. I love them if they are good tattoos.

Xoxocutekitty · Answer

I guess face tattoos would be my limit. I think what's accepted will always be subjective. There's a whole population that thinks you're ruining your body by getting one and a whole population that say it's enough when you think it's enough. Depends on the crowd. And it's not always about quantity. Style of art/ content is much more powerful in determining how "threatening" or "dangerous" vs "hot" and "artsy" you are perceived.

Tattos need room to breath and and good area between them to make them good unless it is sleeve. also never put them on face they just look terrible there most of the time. Also i would say 2 sleeves and 5 seprate tattoos in other places is about the right amout before it looks awful.

Way too much on a girl isn't attractive to me , but if she has a few then it isn't bad , I used to have a crush on a model that I would of proposed to if I ever met her (being silly) she eventually got tattoos all over her and it was a big turn off to me I wouldn't propose to her anymore lol

Kai02 · Answer

I think everyone should decide on their own what is too much for themselves

If someone thinks there is never too much, good for them. Its their body

If someone thinks 5 is too much, good for them. Its their body.

If someone thinks any tattoos at all are too much then good for them, its their body.

I think face, neck, and forearm tattoos should only be worn by criminals that being said everywhere else is fair game. i don’t care if it sounds sexist but I see tattoos as a masculine thing in general, guys can go a bit more overboard on tattoos and it looks normal. Tattoos look hot on women when they’re young like the girl in the picture but look super trashy as they age in my opinion

val_grae · Answer

Never goes too far, it's your body you should do with it what you want. I personally prefer to be able to see my skin and see art on a page but to each their own!

Ayer93 · Answer

Tattoos only look good if they're not crowded and have meaning to them. Not just a bunch of random shit placed everywhere because you think "it looks cool". They need spacing and the location is key when it comes to males vs females.

Comawhite666 · Answer

I draw the line at face, hand and neck tattoos. Those all look ridiculous to me and can't be hidden easily at all.

Hans222 · Answer

I'm not a big fan of tattoos, so a little one (let's say max 2 x 2 in or 5x5 cm) is fine but lots of them is a turn off to me :-(
