Tattoos, yes or no?

That's a nice photo you choose. Nice photography, good pose. She's got a beautiful face. But personally, I think her beauty is detracted by all the tats.
Tattoos are not what they used to be. They are so commonplace now.
Here's some stats for you:
38% of all Gen Y have tattoos. Of those, 50% have more than one. 18% have more than 5.
A dermatologist told me that 50% of people who get tattoos regret them within 6 months. (He has a side deal with another doctor, who does removals upstairs in the same medical building.)
At their best, they are used to tell the story of a person's prodigy and who they are.
In its simplest form, it's just a means to express personality. One issue with that, though, is that personalities change more in our 20s than any other time in life, ink is permanent (removal is imperfect, painful, and spendy), and many things we think, say, do, and believe are best forgotten. g
I don't look at people with tattoos as cool, rebellious, or counterculture anymore (and I'm pretty sure the people who genuinely are those types are feeling like it's been watered down with butterflies, bastardized Chinese symbols, and wire mesh around the arm.) The two things I think are 1. That person doesn't think ahead much, to many decades down the road, and 2. I wish I could invest in a laser removal company. This trend will be over one day, and some people are goona get rich.
I've never considered getting a tattoo and I've never found them attractive on anyone else.
A lot of people like them though 🤷♀️
Why? Are you thinking of getting something done?
Oh gosh, what a big question. I've had several different ideas over the years, but the one I like most now is about "the dragon of the abyss"
I'm into medieval fantasy, and there is a common theme amongst dragons, which is that they hoard gold. It's said that this is a symbol for how we must confront out greatest fears in order to get the most out of life.
"That which you most need will be found where you least want to look."
-Carl Yung
Jordan Peterson extended this by saying "into the eyes of the dragon of the abyss", and in other words, "You don't get the gold without the dragon."
Now the dragon is one thing, because reptiles were our biggest threat for the longest time, and then the abyss represents pure chaos and the unknown.
So I want to get a dragons head, staring straight out as terrifying as can be, and then have some form of that quote written next to it.
i dont have any tattoos yet but definitely want some, however i dont mind if whoever i end up dating has them or not... but if she does, for me it would be like my view on piercings
moderately done perfect, over done, just becomes too much to admire the art and to some extent hides the woman underneath
that being said if i actually clicked with someone who had them to that amount it wouldn't mean i wouldn't think any less of them for having them, but it would more than likely mean i may not be as inclined to initially notice them as much
I think a lot depends on what generation your asking. In my grandfather's generation, the only people who had tattoos were prostitutes, druggies, and people in the Navy. But people in the Navy were at least discreet. So he wouldn't want any on himself or significant other. There are people who grew up in a small church city and tattoos were a no-no.
Personally, I wouldn't have any tattoos because I'm not wired that way. But I wouldn't care if my SO had them.

Tattoos are okay. I'm not super into them on a partner. In my opinion they're kind of a waste of money so if someone with a average job has 1000s of dollars of tattoos. I think it's a waste cause they could have used that money for something more important. Spending money on a few special tattoos is cool but just not a whole bunch unless they got the money to waste on them.
I know I'm young now, but in the future, I'm not getting ANY tattoos on myself, and I prefer my s. o. to have no tattoos. If he has a little bit of tattoos, (2 or 3) it's ok. But a sleeve or a full body tattoo, that's too much. It's a HUGE ENORMOUS MEGA NEGATIVE NO. But I really prefer him to have clear pure skin, than any ink on him.⭐ Tattoos are not ugly at all, I think they're cool... But I don't want them on myself or too much on my s. o. 💗
80's called, they want their ink back. total wanna be's... when you see kids in elementary school wanting to get tats... it's time to move on. Lots of my dates have them... not my turn on, but is what it is.
Best is little punk ass white boys with tribal tats... like... oh what tribe you from? whiny bitch tribe from the mall.
Depends how there done and styled. Like the women in the photo she's a 10/10 with them tattoos and without she just wouldn't be looking as good i would of thought. I kinda don't care tho. Just longs if there tattoos ain't dumb. And myself has none but i am planning on getting 1 or 2. Kanji symbols probably
I don’t have tattoos, but most of my family does. I sometimes do think about getting tattoos, but I don’t know where to put it 😅. I also have sensitive skin that sometimes I get bumps or allergic reactions.
I also don’t mind if the person I’m attracted to has tattoos either. Just not on the face. Huge turn off and tacky.
I have one tat, upper arm where a short sleeve tshirt covers it. I got it to memorialize my days up at college. Something discrete and meaningful like that, I'm all for. But when someone who's otherwise very attractive like the woman in the pic goes nuts and comes out looking like she fell in a barrel of ink, that's just a big turnoff.
I don’t like tattoos, I see them as nothing more than scars that have fancier shapes than normal scars 😖 My style and appearance tends to change over some years, so tattoos are a no-go since I could easily grow to hate a tattoo and I wouldn’t be able to just remove it there and then like a piece of clothing
I have a few small tattoos. I have no preference for tattoos on my s. o. Of the four serious relationships and many first dates,, only one has had tattoos.
Simplistically, it's a longing for someone.
"My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder.
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
When I slept so soft against her.
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter.
It's never over,
She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever."
It's from a song called Lover, You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley. I'm a big fan of his music. If you don't like his style, there are remakes of the song.

Thanks for asking.
Personally, I don't like tattoos. I would never do them except to cover a scar. Most of the tattooed people I know are exhibitionist and frivolous people, so I tend to keep away from it. Tattoos... seem to me a form of unhealthy exhibitionism. Aesthetically speaking they can also be beautiful, but they remain a fashion.
Not sure what you mean by S. O refers to Some people gain more confidence in themselves from their body art They are a personal statement within yourself and can often define who the person is or wants to be
I just can’t wait to be fully covered in them. Getting there slowly but surely
No I want something like where sideburns would he but I haven’t decided yet. I need to finish my arms and legs and stomach first cause they’re not done then I’ll decide lmfao 😂
No I’ve never been into Attila 😂😂
I find tattoos very sexy and badass on women
I feel like women with tattoos are more real than the princess bimbos as well
Me either lol
I don't have a preference. Although, it would be refreshing to meet a guy my age (or older) who doesn't have any tattoos.
I think my body is good enough without tattoos.
Tattooed guys have according to my experience some passive aggressive tendencies. However my experience is limited in this topic.
I do not have tattoos and prefer for him not to have any either for they are bad for your skin and look ugly too ! thanks
A huge yes! Especially if you've some memories associated with it. A show of rebellion, embracing the art, and thoroughly sexy.

It’s not in my personal taste. I prefer a handsome man who doesn’t need to mark his body to look good.
I don't have tattoos, I prefer my s. o. does NOT have tattoos, they aren't a deal breaker if they look good.
not for me i dont want a needle any where near me but my husband has few tattoos and i hope he gets more he looks sexy with tattoos
I like tattoos on girls but not overly done that i can rarely see her skin. My girlfriend has no tattoos but once we get married she wants to get a tattoo of my name only where I can see it :')
