I don't find them disgusting, I have large one on my calf. But honestly I do not find women with full out arm sleeves or neck tats appealing. I mean some times yo might want to dress up nice in a classy dress and not have tats all over yourself.
My calf tat is large but its only visible when I wear shorts and there fore I can still dress for any occasion and still look nice. I mean I go to official events and work related functions were its not entirely appropriate to have skull or spider tats climbing up you arms with blood daggers and like. Yes, if you love someone it should not matter, but lets be honest you tats speak a lot about you as a person, so if its not done right or classy then it would put me off.
I t would not disgust me, my current girlfriend loves Elephants. So she had three elephant tattoos. One on her finger, one out her back shoulder and one of a skull with a dagger through it on her upper thigh. I kind of wish the ones on her finger where less visible at times.. but she is amazing and I know it is a me thing and I can't put that on her. After all its only a elephant kissing another elephant... its cute.
Anything on the face or neck is a turn off though to me.00 Reply

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI was heavily involved with mma years ago. I felt like a rebel for NOT having tattoos. Virtually all my training partners had them.
Anyway I considered getting one or two for a long time. But I felt like I was just doing it to just be one of the bros. For something so permanent that’s a huge decision to make out of peer pressure.
It’s a free country and you can do whatever you want. But honestly it’s a turn off to see a woman with visible tattoos. The female body is naturally beautiful and them getting tattoos is like putting bumper stickers on a Ferrari. It’s counter to a woman’s femininity.
Also more often then not I find that tattoo’ed women are more likely into drugs, heavy drinking, drama, promiscuity, more likely to have fluid sexuality (especially a few years ago). The two girls I got in a my first 3 some with 12 years both had tattoos.
I guess you can say I’m no saint because I participated in that. But these two were over the top dramatic and both had other issues. Also I ran into my ex 2 years ago (broke up 7 years ago). She had a visible tattoo on her forearm AND she had taken up smoking past the age of 30. I gotta to admit I was actually very happy to see that. It helped heal up some of the lingering heartbreak. She wasn’t even remotely trashy at all when I dated her. Now that I see she took a step in that direction I felt relieved it didn’t work out.
But anyway I know there are girls out there who get tattoos who are completely straight laced. I also know many are going to downvote this opinion. But the tattoo ink is a sign of the rebellion. More often than not tattoos are not the only counter-cultural someone is into.50 Reply
+1 yIt’s fine that you think that and everyone has their own opinion, but as a female who is moderately tattoos with a sleeve plus a few more it’s unlikely we’d be dating non-tattood people in the first place unless we find someone super special. I don’t just mean one or two little ones I mean people with a moderate amount like myself tend to also prefer those likewise.
Those who tend to have no tattoos at all tend to err on the side of boring more often than not but not always. That’s if the tattoo is tasteful.. hey we all have our own opinions so respect yours fair enough10 Reply
+1 yHow can most of them actually look good? Especially when people have more ink on them than in a library of books.

+1 yFor most of my life I thought tats were stupid. For most of my life only men got tats, and usually men who were in the military.
When it started to become more popular and mainstream I still thought it was stupid. I thought it looked "slutty" for women. Over time I understood that it was accepted among some people, and I somewhat accepted by myself. I still think it's stupid, but I no longer think it looks slutty. I don't judge the people who do it since it's an accepted style.
If it's non-permanent ink, it's not stupid, it's just current style. So what? People can change it on down the road.
"Is it wrong for me to reject a women because she has tattooos?"
Get to know her first. If you get to like her as a person, then decide if the tats are reason to dump her. Just give her a chance and listen to your heart.00 Reply
+1 yOn the face and neck, rarely. But as all things, done in taste, it can be appealing.
This can be filed under the laws of attraction.
Blond hair looks great on some, as others are smoking as a brunette. This person is "Schwing" at a buck five and 4 feet 11...
This person turns heads @ 5' 10" and 145.
I'd look retarded with dreads, while a great friend of mine has them and a busy social life.
Overall, I think tats are smoking on a female if done right. I had a girlfriend who had a full sleeve and it was hot on her, and I've seen some that had multiple tats and it was trashy.
Lol
I don't see how, but I hope this helps.00 Reply1.3K opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic. I don't like tattoos on women. It looks like vandalism. Her tender, silky-smooth skin has been permanently disfigured.
I can't understand the tattoo trend. People just get them to be cool. So the desire for a tattoo precedes the choice of design. "I want a tattoo. Which one should I get?"
Some tats are pointless and some are grotesque. Either way, they don't make women more attractive. So what's the point?
That being said, a tats wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker if we really clicked. I would just prefer none.10 ReplyUsed to. Used to be pretty judgy about them.
Not sure what happened. College happened, I guess. But I suddenly became much more into tattoos and edgier, more "punk" girls.
Oh also I have several friends who used to work in tattoo shops, so that might have done it, too.
It's also a nice conversation starter. A way to use a physical feature to start a conversation without it being super weird. Actually, pretty much the only area you can do this at all unless it's a movie poster t-shirt and you comment on the movie.00 ReplyIf you don't like them, that is your choice on if you choose to date them or not.
For me, I feel like I am pretty much in the middle. I don't hate them, but I also don't find them attractive. I greatly appreciate and admire the artwork of tattoos and tattoo artists. I also think tattoos can be over done, and then they aren't attractive. A few tattoo's though I am okay with.
I also think it depends on the tattoos for me. If they are just symbols, or seemingly random stuff I like them a lot less than something that has meaning or is more complex.00 Reply- 347 opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic.
+1 yI don't like the idea of anything permanent that I can not change or get rid of when I get tired of it, but that doesn't mean that I find them disgusting, although certainly some could be.
50 Reply Absolutely hate them!! 100% Without equivocation, hate them. Hate them on men. Hate them on women!
Don't know what started the whole tattoo fad. It is indicative of a culture with the collective maturity level of a 2 year old.
Grow up!! Look civilized!!! Walking billboards are NOT sexy nor attractive!!!

What are they gonna look like in 40 or 50 years when they're old and their skin is all wrinkled? Even worse are the ones into body modification!! One guy's doing everything he can to look like a lizard, another guy had his dick split down the middle and had those tiny barbells put into the end of each half! How does he pee with that? How does he FUCK with that?

+1 yIs it wrong to "reject", I presume you're speaking about physical attraction, anyone that you don't find attractive? No, that part isn't wrong. People do it ALL the time for all kinds of reasons.
However, you may be missing out on a very good person if you automatically reject every woman who has a tattoo of any kind, any size, any where. Personally, I'm not fond of inking oneself, but I know a lot of beautiful and wonderful women with minimal, what I consider inoffensive, personal tattoo's. I still find attractive. That said, I've never found a woman with excessive ink to be attractive, at all. Doing a full arm, fingers, legs, chest, cleavage, and more, all on the same person, just looks gross to me.00 Reply
+1 yI don't find tattoos disgusting. I love them and will be getting many over my lifetime. I wanna be the inked up stoner garden grandma when I'm old. Except without the grandkids - just the vibes.
But you're not wrong for having preferences. It's okay. It's valid.40 Reply
+1 yNo, it is called a preference. We all have them. This happens to be yours. It is no different than saying I don't like guys with long hair or unshaven. It is just something I am not attracted to.
As long as you keep those judgements to yourself and communicate to the woman that you are not interested in dating her without bringing that up, there is no reason you cannot date whom you choose.
That would exclude girls with tattoos, in your case.40 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI think it depends on the quality of the tattoo, the placement, and if it fits with the person’s personality and general appearance.
Some people look gross with tattoos because they just didn’t choose good artists or they didn’t place the tattoos well so there is no flow and it just looks like a kids random sketch pad all over their body.
Meanwhile if someone picks a good artist and placement is well done or transitions from one piece to the next are well thought out it can make it all look really good.
Also it helps to have things that flow well together. Like don’t have some really cartoony piece right next to a really well done traditional looking koi fish piece. It’ll just be goofy looking.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 ySomehow I have this idea that women who have so many tattoos are mentally hmm how to say tired or abused? I don't know that’s bc my friends who are women and have tattoos have endless dramas.. and are spiritually broken.
I mean a tattoo here and there doesn’t mean anything I’m saying more for those women who cover their whole body with tattoos.
As for Man is to show power, in old times tattoos were made for man when fighting and going to wars etc to give them a sense of Brave. This was also seen in Roman solders for example!
Anyways I find it unnecessary I can’t say disgusting (maybe when it’s all over the body like an Arab carpet yeah)01 Reply
+1 yIt’s a preference and I like them.
i do find it a tad pathetic though when people come out with this.
imagine the scene, you meet a girl who is stunning, perfect for you, you date for 6 months a year and eventually she consents to some sex (or maybe just naked together as she wants to be a virgin when married).
she gets naked and she has a 1 inch butterfly tattoo on her bottom.
oh no, you find it disgusting and walk out..16 Reply
u +1 yYou know where I stand on them. I never found them "disgusting," but I certainly found them unappealing. The elephant in the room here, and what nobody wants to bring up, is that in my neck of the woods those with several visible tattoos get stereotyped (rightly or wrongly) - to many, a lot of visible tattoos send the message "trashy." What I've found, and what many people have noticed, is that those whose body are festooned with tattoos are often the ones who can least afford them.

@SaoirseS lol you know my views on them as well.
Been out with a bunch of very pretty girls tonight, most of whom have tattoos, including 2 close friends one of who is an eye consultant but shock horror has tattoos under her boobs n on her back n bum.
I really doubt any of the girls out tonight would be passed over.

+1 yThese are one of those opinions that you should just keep to yourself honestly. If you choose to treat someone a certain way just because they have tattoos, then that’s your personal issue that you need to deal with. Don’t reflect that onto other people just because you have a problem with something that otherwise doesn’t effect you
10 ReplyI think some tattoos are kind of cool, but some people overdo it. I have five and 1 I foolishly got when I was like, 21, and it was done at a person's house. It's on my forearm, so it's very visible in the summer and I am an adult now.. I don't like that tattoo. The 3 on my back are very pretty. The one on my ankle was done by my ex's friend and looks homemade also, but it's just my little brother's name and a shooting star. People all tatted up like little Wayne or Cardi B
10 ReplyI wouldn’t say disgusting (although some really are), but I dislike tattoos and body piercings for several reasons. During my dating days they were a big turnoff. I’ve grown more tolerant of them over the past several years, but I still don’t like them. I find nothing appealing about them.

+1 yThat is a bit harsh to call them disgusting!
I mean each to their own preference wise. You like what you like, but to call someone or something disgusting is very harsh.
And I feel to reject someone based on looks alone is judgmental. The person inside is what counts, not the outer layer, and what they look like.
Would you like to be judged by what you look like? Or be called disgusting based on your physical appearance?00 ReplyTattoos are what I call warning signs. It tells me that the person who has them has likely real issues, needing them to feel confident. Problems not being able to control themselves, as with any other vice like smoking and drinking. Definitely a low regard for their appearences and health, as all tats wear and run over the years. Not a good look.
So Tats are a good warning label.20 Reply
+1 yI would say in society and in general.
Yes, you can reject anyone for anything. Rejection is always hard, you need not care what society say about your preferences (within certain margins ofc).
For you though, that would depend entierly on how lonely you'd be. To what degree can you afford to be picky? Maybe risk getting to know them to see if their personality balance that out. That is, if you want something more than a bedwarmer..00 ReplyI don't think tattoos are disgusting, but you have your choice and opinion on rejecting girls with tattoos if you don't like them.
I find girls either love or hate my tattoos. I have two large brightly colored Playboy bunnies pretty visible on my arms. I get looks of disgust all the time, either b/c of the tattoos, the visibility or the symbolism.
The girls who love them understand that I can make a lifetime commitment00 ReplyI wouldn't have said they're disgusting. They always detract from the person's appearance, tho. Similarly for many piercings that are becoming more common.

Better before. 00 ReplyYou're asking two questions:
I think women with tats are hot, specially when they carry meaning (not talking about infinity symbols or lower back butterflies). It's an expression of the self on her own body, which I think should be respected as it's HER body and her own decision. I'm pretty sure women dgaf about whether you like their tats or not.
I do think it's wrong to reject someone just based on what she's "wearing". You might be missing out on an amazing person because you're judging a book by it's cover without making an effort to look beyond that. Maybe try being more open minded?00 Reply
+1 yI don't have any tattoos; nor will I be getting any tattoos other then temporary tattoos. However, I prefer to not judge others that have tattoos. For example, some girls have an expression (a few words) that has meaning to them and I have seen college scholarship athletes with a small tattoo of their college mascot.

+1 yI don't think it's "gross" to have one or two, but it does look gross if people have most of their body covered in tattoos and the skin begins to take on this sort of grayish-green cast and looks extremely dirty I also hate seeing tattoos all over the face which distorts the features and looks rather menacing.
00 ReplyNah that's just your preference. As long as you don't treat people badly for it it's fine. I personally love tattoos and plan on getting more pieces. I just don't like everyone's tattoo choices, but it's not my body so I don't hold on to it.
