Well, I'm 41 and I think women's tattoos are awesome. It doesn't matter to me if she only has one or two small, cute ones or if she has full body tattoos covering her torso and limbs. It all just comes down to the design, placement and the overall message/content of the tattoo (s). As long as they're not racist, hateful, violent, morbid or degrading, and they hold a personal meaning for her, it's all good to me. 👍 For me, it's ultimately more about the person inside, and tattoos don't change that at all.
With that said, I'm not into face/scalp tattoos, or tattoos on the breasts or on, ummmmm... other lady parts, but otherwise I have no issue with it at all. It all just comes down to the individual and the overall implementation of the design.
Done right, I think it can be attractive, but I wouldn't say "more" attractive. Just attractive in a different way. 🙂 However, I will admit, while tattoos are CERTAINLY not a "prerequisite" for attractiveness to me by any means, sometimes a woman with full sleeves can really catch my eye. ☺️
But no, I don't find women with tattoos "intimidating" at all. 🙂 I think that's just an old fear/stereotype that is slowly fading away the more people see and interact with both women and men who have tattoos. In most cases, they're just like anyone else. Just normal people living their lives who choose to express themselves with art on their body. And there's nothing wrong with that. I know it's not for everyone, but as long as people are chill and tolerant toward others, to each their own.
I’ve pretty much always dated girls with tattoos, I like them.
what I always find funny is some guys attitudes to tattoos, that they make a girl cheap.
example,
a guy dates a girl for 6 months, gets really close and they get on great. Eventually at some point after that 6 month point (it could be two years), they get naked to have sex for first time, he then notices a tattoo a small butterfly and it’s over, finished, she’s less of a person. That’s incredibly shallow and personally pathetic.
it also means they will never let them have a tattoo, which people suddenly decide in later life. Controlling much…
Most men do not find tattoos attractive, and ladies you are judged by your tattoos. What you have tattooed and where it is placed, does matter.
As you get older, you will find that a lot of the men that do not have a problem with your tattoos today. Will have problems with them as they get older, and start to think about and are looking to settling down.
I have worked with a guy for the last 13 years, at 19 he thought that chicks with tatts where hot. 13 years later at 32, he does not date girls with tatts and considers girls with tatts as trashy.
No. Makes a woman look like trash. The sad truth is that a woman who taints her body like that will lower her sexual market value in the eyes of higher quality men. The more tattoos she has, the more trashier men she attracts. Good luck getting the commitment of a highly successful and educated man.
response to your update: It has more to do with values and education than it is being a generational thing. I know plenty of people in their 20s who think the same way as I do. Those who are all for tattoos are often the ones who are desperate to score anything. They would be glad to have some pussy, regardless of the girl having a bunch of piercings or tattoos. It's called settling.
It only applies to some people. I had a few girlfriends who had tattoos all over their body and it didn't really bother me. One of my girlfriends wanted me to get a tattoo of her name but I refused. It's kind of pointless to get a tattoo of somebody's name and eventually they just break up with you causing you to get it removed seems kind of pointless especially when their relationship doesn't last for more than a few months and I don't know why. Some of my friends called me a freak Show because I was dating a girl who had tattoos from head to toe.
I’ve never seen a tattoo I thought that made someone more attractive. That being said, I have seen tattoos that don’t decrease the attractiveness of a woman to me. The latter typically refers to smaller tattoos that aren’t very prominent. It also depends where. For instance, I think a larger back tattoo is more unattractive than a sleeve, and I’d rate a larger chest tattoo as more unattractive than a larger back tattoo.
In other words, a tattoo from my view can hurt someone’s attractiveness depending on the tattoo itself/prominence of it, but it won’t help make someone more attractive.
For the second question— do they intimidate me? No. It’s not intimidation to me. It’s more so just a preference. It’s like a girl having long hair vs short hair. I find long hair more attractive than short hair. It’s not intimidation but it’s simply an aesthetic with what I like or don’t like.
It's nothing to do with intimidation.
I just don't find them attractive.
Whether you can say they're indicative of masculinity and 'knowingness', or whether it's the style of tattoo that most women go with, I'm just not a fan.
I like the sense of feminine purity. Tattoos can lessen that sense.
Having said that, obviously it wouldn't dissuade me from dating a girl. And also, in some cases they can be nice and even preferable. It depends a lot on where the girl is coming from, her philosophy. Spiritual or yoga girls with tattoos can be quite nice.
I'm in my early 20s and yes, tattoos can be unattractive, but it depends on the size, topic and quantity – think of the grandma rule; if it is presentable for gran it gets the pass.
I was invited on a date by a lady, and she had a tattoo of the "female area"... I'm not sure about you, but I don't think that is very SFW... (I wouldn't dream of getting a tattoo of the male equivalent)
Tattoos are very mainstream nowadays and are often I'll thought through. Unfortunately, I have seen more that blemish than those that beautify.
They aren't as much as a deal-breaker as body/facial piercings though... those are a big NOPE.
You look like a piece of silly putty pressed against a comic strip.
I didn't care for tattoos on guys, never got them on myself. Why would I like them on a woman?
Psychologist do consider tattoos a form of self mutilation and a sign of mental issues.
This isn't 1993, Tattoos are really big among the gay community nowadays.
I don't care to be with someone that I can clearly see has issues. Maybe I shouldn't be saying these things since it's nice that you wear red flags so proudly.
It's bad, don't do it. If you really want a tattoo or a few, just do very small ones in places where it can't be always seen and if you don't want it anymore, it won't be hard to remove.
And it's not a generation thing either.
It's generally like this because men by that time know that women with tattoos are a big red flag and not ideal for relationships.
Younger men don't really care, if you have tattoos, because it doesn't really matter yet, your skin looks young, they don't care about it that much, especially if you two just hookup.
And the only guys who'll like your tattoos, who are also into tattoos.. So you limit your chances of finding your partner, especially later on.
I really don't "get" tattoos on women. For me, tattoos are something that sailors used to wear. I find them a bit off-putting. I really don't understand people who get themselves covered with tattoos so you hardly see an inch of them that's not covered with ink! I find that unfeminine and off-putting.
I truly love women, and I think they are awesome as they are. I'm definitely NOT looking to date a piece of abstract art! So, no, I probably would not date a woman who had tattoos.
Me personally I don't think a woman having tattoos period would make them less attractive. Honestly, it would depend on how does that tattoo look on her and what is the tattoo itself actually of. In an ideal situation, let's say that the tattoo was something like a quote, or a symbol, or even an animal, and it was in a good spot that looked good on her then I think it would be attractive. But again this is only if it's actually a good tattoo and it again looks good on her.
