Were women more attractive before tattoos and piercings became popular?

Question

RingOfFire · Accepted Answer

OMG... You do come up with some hot pictures my friend. That one gets my heart beating for sure. Mamma Mia! Nice retro!

I've stated it here before that I despise tattoos on women and they are an instant turn off to me. The only piercings I like are one in each ear to hold earrings.

Maybe one of the other ones like belly button piercing is not necessarily a deal-breaker, but I still don't like them. Pretty much all of the other ones are a deal breaker for me they're just so unappealing. I'll bring the hardware, I like my girl to be the software.

I really don't understand women who get tattoos. Why would an attractive woman try to make her natural body look less attractive by covering it with tattoos? One or two small tats that are generally not visible is fine with me; anything more is a turnoff.

electromagnetic · Accepted Answer

I have a leg sleeve and many piercings. I knew what I was getting myself into when I started my mods but I also did them because they felt right to me. I don’t think necessarily because I was trying to hide or prove something. I did it because it felt right to me. I definitely know not everyone is going to find it beautiful but being beautiful is subjective and beauty changes with time.

the girl in the photo looks great but she may not be the definition for beauty for everyone.

That’s subjective. Women do not care if you like tattoos or not because they don’t get them for you

Fashionista Amy · Accepted Answer

Attractiveness is such a personal and subjective thing! What one person finds attractive might not be the same for someone else. Tattoos and piercings are a form of self-expression, just like fashion or hairstyles, and they add to the unique beauty of each individual. Some people might love the classic, bare-skinned look, while others might think body art and piercings enhance someone's appearance. It's really all about personal preference and how confident and happy someone feels in their own skin. How do you feel about it?

MaddyJ · Answer

I’m not into tattoos but I like piercings. They are fun and they look good

Lynx122 · Answer

Yes and that also goes for a lot of other things like the entire goth and emo style, shaving your hair short and dying it in rainbow colors etc. But it's fine for me. I don't have to hang out with these women. It makes it easier to see if there's a chance of something working out or not.

LazerBean · Answer

Of course people were more attractive in the generations where they were more healthy.

Brainsbeforebeauty · Answer

To each their own…, beauty is in the eye of the beholder… I’m not into extreme piercings and tattoos nor do I find it attractive in others, but that’s me… There’s others that might find that attractive or appealing…

Nikki1989 · Answer

Maybe to the extremely judgmental folk.

DishLady · Answer

Personally, the “body art” thing has become overdone. A discreet tattoo or tasteful piercing works on some people but not on everyone.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I have never seen a woman (or man) who became more attractive because of tattoos or piercings. I HAVE seen women (and men) who became far less attractive because of tattoos or piercings.

caitycat21 · Answer

Tattos and piercings are not nearly as popular as old heads like to believe. If you go outside most women do not have extreme tattoos or piercings, what you see most often is someone with regular ear piercings or small tattoos.

HaleyWalker · Answer

I would have to say so, some tattoos do look good on people though. I have a little heart earring. It's easier to show it than explain it.

HawkPerception · Answer

I think women definitely look best with their natural body, but honestly, I don't mind when a girl has a few nicely placed tattoos that are designed in good taste. Also, prefer them not to be all over the place like a sleeve or something. Sleeves are not attractive to me.

MisterWack · Answer

That would assume women let their faces, thighs, breasts, asses go all for the invention of tattoos.

We can talk about beauty standards, celebrities / social media making young women feel insecure about themselves and needing to change, young impressionable teenagers making a huge mistake getting tattoos, etc.

I don’t think tattoos are the downfall of beauty, I don’t think so and I know so.

Flatmanlewis · Answer

Personally, I think a woman is more attractive without tattoos. Perhaps a small one could be overlooked or not so bad, but each tattoo adds a little more and detracts a little more, to my eye. Piercings anyplace except the face can be attractive but I’ve never seen a facial piercing look good. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in the team I am on, I am definitely the minority opinion in this regard.

sheikalana · Answer

Yes, and before plastic surgery and obesity was normalized.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

I don't think it really matters...  you don't date piercings or tattoos :D

Anonymous · Answer

Yes and the men were more attractive too, before they were bitchy and broke like the modern man today.

RavVid · Answer

I've said before tattoos of a girl's own design are particularly sad. The only good thing about them is they make it easier to start a convo withe a stranger girl.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Everybody does what they want, and rightly so, but me? I think tattoos and piercings look awful on anyone!

BetaBucks · Answer

Everyone has been getting uglier in the West for the last 30-40 years. Literal epidemic of obesity.

Unit1 · Answer

piercings are meh, no big deal. i'm No fan of them but still no big deal. Tattoos can be beautiful. I saw tattoos like little stars or roses on girls. It can be complementary.

clampfan101 · Answer

YES YES YES! I find tattoos and piercings attractive on no one. Only girls earrings. Also less women dyed their hair. I like seeing women with their natural hair color, whichever it may be.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think the tattoos (as long as it is tastefully done) and even piercings (belly, nipples, etc.) make each women a little different. It's like how they accessorize themselves and it can be very appealing.

dolemite58 · Answer

Ya the whole covered in tattoos look is masculine to me I don't know why girls would think it looks good.

FearlessFlame · Answer

And the usual gender bait questions are back...

kylee2437 · Answer

I couldn’t care less if I’m not attractive to men that aren’t attracted to the real me anyways. There’s nothing attractive about men that fixate groups of women they aren’t attracted to anyways.

DextroShade · Answer

Yes, I have never seen a tattoo or piercing that made a woman look better than she would without it.

handsomelad70 · Answer

I'd club that broad with or without tattoos, but generally H**L YES !!! Tattoos detract from a gal's girlishness.

legalboxers · Answer

I think belly button rings are cute. That is my kryptonite

Dongie · Answer

Nah. I think there's a pretty turnover through generations. There is bound to be fluctuations. I think subtlety though.

Counterclocking · Answer

A woman with tattoos and piercings is not my kind of woman.

Anonymous · Answer

Women with sleeve tattoos and too many piercings don't look feminine.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Very much so! Just imagine, in about 30 years, these tattoo nuts are all gonna be wrinkled old people and will look twice as bad as they do, now.

Wiredone · Answer

I prefer women that doesn't have tattoos. I think they look more attractive

onedarkcloud · Answer

I do not like tattoos or body piercings that is my view. But my stand by statement has always been Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so who am I to say what is attractive or not

ICanSmellTheCosmos · Answer

Definitely. I find ink and metal to be ugly, more so as a person ages. Would never get tattoos or piercings myself. People can do what they want, though. *shrug*

Piercings and tattoos are low rent that's for sure. I've rejected a woman just for having a nose piercing before. Too bad to. She was otherwise almost perfect.

Apple1996 · Answer

Nope tattoos and piercings are cute

Tattoos are just ghetto. Piercings aren't quite as bad, but they certainly aren't attractive.
