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.
I 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.
It’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 enough
How can most of them actually look good? Especially when people have more ink on them than in a library of books.

For 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.
On 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.
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.
Used 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.
If 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.
I 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.
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!!!
(As you can tell, I don't have strong views on this one.)
I don't mind a small one or three. Like, about the size of a coin but, having huge ones all over your body is a turn off, for me and I really don't see what the attraction is! 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?
Is 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.
I 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.
No, 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.
I 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.
Somehow 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)
It’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..
u You 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.
I won’t mention piercings lol
Also may have drank a bit lol
These 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
I 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
I 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.
I don't find them to be disgusting, but I'm personally not a fan of the look. Everyone has their own taste when it comes to this, and it's okay to have preferences, as long as you're respectful and don't treat anyone poorly for not being your type. You can't really help what you are and aren't attracted to.
That 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?
Tattoos 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.
I 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..
I 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 commitment
I 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.
You'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?
I 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.
I 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.
Nah 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.
I'm sure some people would hate my choices as well.
I don't find them disgusting, usually no tattoos is more attractive but it's not a deal breaker to me.
And no it's not wrong to reject someone because of it, you can rejected anyone for any reasons you want.
yeah, specially a lot of tattoos like this
I try not to be judgmental but aside from looking disgusting it also kinda comes to me as a red flag
I don't find them disgusting. But I don't necessarily am fond of big tattoos either. Small clean and minimal ones are fine for me.
Once I had a thought of getting a tattoo but then I dumped the idea after thinking of the health issues (I personally am having some tiny malfunction at the heart and even the tiniest pathogen that enters the system can make it vulnerable.)
I also have an issue with the deformation of tattoos with age. That's quite concerning too.
I will admit although they do not disgust me I do generally find them unappealing. I do not see any real purpose to them. Plus for many people ink does not age well.
Nope, but I prefer my and my bf’s skin without tattoos, I want to be the only one leaving marks on his body.
Hahah I am gonna die of a laughter :)
I am kind of the same way. Both feel its not good for me to be judgmental. But this really is a choice and supposed to be about their personality, not something born with so I have a hard time not.
Its become very clear to me that once some one has a tat they need to buy clothing to show it off or it gets covered. It is strange the styles I have noticed for just such a reason.
Lol. No I absolutely love them.
It’s not necessarily wrong to reject them for it It’s your choice, just makes you really shallow. She could be a really great person but if you wanna reject her because of some ink, then it’s your loss in the end.
I'm sorry but they make me feel sick just looking at them. I'm sure they are still good people
You say that you hate to be judge mental and shame people but that’s literally exactly what you’re doing. People can do whatever they please with their bodies and you need to mind your damn business. Nobody cares whether or not you like tattoos so keep your stupid ass opinions to yourself.
You're right, people CAN do what they want to their bodies, but he is entitled to his opinion every bit as much as you are.
I don't understand why people who have tattoos get so aggressive when defending their reasoning for them?
Its a major turnoff especially if it covered a pec/chest/sleeve/back/tummy/leg. If its small and just on the wrist or upper arm i can deal. But yea preferably no tats
What is an issue is treating people worse for having tattoos in normal day to day interactions. However if they're a deal breaker for you for a relationship it is how it is. You can reject anyone for any reason you want.
Nobody dislikes tattoos more than I.
I can't help it, but I'm not going to say I like them merely because that is what is expected of me. I normally just don't say anything unless asked for my opinion of course, as you did..
I like the random symbolic tattoos that mean something to the person. Otherwise, skin is too beautiful to be hidden in ink.
No, it's not wrong to reject someone because they are tattooed. I also don't find them very appealing, the opposite in fact. Ideal guy would not be tattooed but I could get over it if it wouldn't be very large and/or noticeable.
i find tattoos on women are only attractive for a short window when they’re young and their skin looks nice they look so haggard with time tho. Tattoos have always been more of a masculine thing to me cuz guys bodies aren’t much to look at anyways. It doesn’t matter if a grandpa has tattoos people just think he’s a cool old guy 😂
I don't find them disgusting, though to me most people who get lots of tattoos are usually covering for a lack of any interesting qualities or personality.
I'd have to say I don't particularly like large or arm sleeve tattoos on women nor men either but I think some girls ruin their natural beauty by plastering their bodies with tattoos and or face metal.
People say don't judge a book by its cover. But people are not books, and people choose their "covers". People who choose to get tattoos choose to be perceived a certain way, and then complain that people perceive them that way. It's like someone who wears a clown suit complaining that people think they are clowns.
In case it's not clear, I don't like tattoos.
Tattoos aren’t disgusting. They are just bad decisions. If people want to ink up their body then so be it. My main problem with them is the actual tattoos themselves. I’ve seen some really ugly dumb tattoos. They may be personal tattoos that have meaning to that particular individual but are still stupid, or just tattoos for the sake of getting them. Most will regret them. They need to be redone after 10yrs. Skin starts to sag making the tattoos look terrible. Just not good.
No I don't. Clearly.
If she is perfect in every other way except the tattoos then that's very shallow
@Smashingdoozy yep exactly that.
tattoos are a total and utter disgrace, a disrespect, and vandalism for one's body. It's also a painfully pretentious cry for attention. No exceptions. It's the most profoundly mediocre plague to have taken over our society and a direct indication that we are sadly, in decline.
I appreciate and respect honesty. I wouldn’t want to be with someone who couldn’t accept me for myself or my own personal choices. We each find our own version of happy.
I remove respect when it comes to ignorance, however.
Depends. If they're meaningful, i can admire it. But if they're getting it because their favourite actor has it, yeah it's not so attractive. One of my friends got a neck tattoo to match it with some idol. 🙄
I think they’re sexy lol. But it’s okay if it’s not your cup of tea. Just no need to be a dick about it. You can date based on your preferences, just no reason to put someone else down.
Thinking tattoos and piercings are gross is such an outdated way of thinking. Everyone has them these days. I don’t know a single person my age who doesn’t have one.
Just because "everyone" is doing something does not mean you should also do those things or that its a good idea. I don't speak from an outdated way of thinking--I literally feel sick and repulsed by them
if you don't like tattoos and don't want a partner who has one, that's fine. just dont treat people badly because of them
I don't like them either. It's not wrong to not be interested in women who chose to do that to themselves. Beyond the bad aesthetics it tells you something about her judgment.
I personally like tattoos within reason. Like I'm not trying to date the Sistine chapel. Let's not get carried away. I even have a few tattoos myself.
Tattoos can be cute on certain people. Some just look like trash with them tho
Not keen on them especially on women, I've always wondered if they've thought through what they will look like as they get older, also I've had to deal with too many that have resulted in serious scaring due to infection.
It isn't wrong but its technically not right either. You're entitled to your preference and also entitled to not be judged for it. So when you meet a tattooed person you both just agree to dissagree and carry on.
I like tats but my father doesn’t and he’s my creator so I think I might get some of mine removed however I have a tattoo that represents family friends and myself that I will never remove unless it were over my dead body and what not
I don't think there's anything wrong about tattoos, it's just impossible to find them attractive. Leg hair and body fat is more attractive in comparison. The good thing about tattooed girls is it's much easier to get sex from them since you can just make the room darker or do only one side of them
Yes, thank you. So awful. No word of a lie, every single person I have come to be acquainted with that has extensive tattoos are utterly f-ed up!
