I personally wouldn't say tattoos are complete turn off of me, as long as they don't overdue it. But understand this: men and women are completely different, which means we value different things. So just because a woman finds something attractive, doesn't mean a man does, and vice versa. Attraction is not symmetrical.
Tattoos historically were always looked at as a more masculine thing, mostly adorning the bodies of ship weary sailors and other military men.
To see them now on females is becoming more common but when overdone is not so attractive to most males I don't think :)
It depends on the man, and it depends on the woman.
But, I think some of it is the association of tattoos with masculinity - historically, tattoos were associated with sailors, ex-criminals and pirates (traditionally male jobs).
So, there is a cultural influence.
You are using terms that apply men in general hate tattoos and women in general love them. In the last Harris poll a plurality of both men and women prefer that their SO did NOT have them.

I love tattoos on anyone but it's gotta be a good tattoo, not some cheesy crap lol
Lol cheesy tattoos like?
Like love hearts, dolphins, some inspirational quotes are a NONO, I don't like massive animal ones. Haha I'm picky
I don't mind them.. they're cute and sometimes they have meanings to it.
I have one of them on my back and on my inner forearm
Each to their own. I just prefer somethimg that isn't so cliche
That's hard to find
Thats just not true. Tattoo or not. doesn't matter. Its the lady that I like.
That's good
I lovvvvve tattoos on both men and women, such a turn on! When they are well done of course, really big bad tattoos are actually a turnoff for me though. If its a small bad tattoo I don't care 🤷🏻♀️
Correction some men don't like women with ink no matter where it's at it how big it small.
Then there are those that could careless.
There also those of us that find it sexy as hell on a woman.
Tattoos on men aren't that great either. Any man without muscles does not look good with tattoos to me. Tattoos accentuate and highlight the physical features of a man (primarily his biceps) so him having NO MUSCLES on his arms and tattoos just makes him look... worse.
Tats on women don't bother me, as long as it is not something from a previous relationship or a terrible design.
Very true
Uh, no, they're not.
In the beginning tattoos were what navy men did when they got shore leave, or service men that got back from deployment. In many cases they were third-world countries.
And it has been common for biker gangs, and trailer-trash people. You know, low-lifes?
Then hollyweird decided it was all the rage so regular people started getting them to be 'cool'. It's just not. In fact, it's trashy. Extremely and permanently trashy.
Like a bumper sticker on a Ferrari - trashy.
I honestly don't care I look for personality if she has a lot of tattoos should it matter I don't think so if I love her enough to ask her out I could care less how many tattoos she has
A lot of people like them on both, a lot on neither.
But broadly I’d say looking like a wild badass is more admired in men, while seeming innocent and “good” more admired in women.
I don't mind them, so long as they are tasteful. I can't stand over the top ones though. I think that most girls just look good already, having a tattoo does not usually add anything to her appeal but could ealisy distract from better features and take away from it. If you want a tattoo, then get one. Love yourself however you want too, then find someone to love you as you are!
What i donrt see talking about, is ink it self. In some vierd way, we judge woman more on ink design. So in my opinion its way harder for man to pull of any tattoo. Like ink design should be more thoughtfull than what guys can get away with. Like for a woman its hard to pull of cheap tattoo, but so much easy to pull of expensive one, who fits her body lines.
I hate tattoos on women and this stupid everyone has to get tatted and pierced generation.
It is beyond ugly to me and totally ruins her natural beauty and once pretty skin.
Guys tats?
I am not attracted to guys... that is for the girls to like or not, that is their problem.
Fkn double standards much!
It can be hot for women if its not face or neck tattoos, etc
These are mine
I mean mine have meaning I’m a huge Panic! At The Disco fan since I was 16 that was my recent one. The one on my back is my horoscope sign Sagittarius and I thought lotus flowers were pretty.
ink sprawled over skin has a greater chance of getting me in bed than any other.
Its a huge turn on regardless of gender.
I like tattoos on men and women as long as they aren't fucked up
Ah hell no babe. Tattoos are a major turn on for me on women. You just haven't found the right guy. 😉
