Ladies, do you prefer your men with tattoos or clean cut?

[GuruGuy]

As time goes on you see plenty of women say how much they love men with tattoos but of course you don't often recognize women saying I love men without tattoo's or I hate tattoos. I think everyone has always thought about what they would get if they did get a tattoo but some prefer to stay clean cut. I personally have thought about my own but I don't want to get tired of looking at my tattoo when it gets old to me or my style or interests change.

If you do like your men with tattoos, please comment how many or how much coverage you like to see and where you like to seem them the most.

I have a feeling the normal age group of people on this site might play a huge factor in the statistics, but lets see what happens.

Guys answering the poll, just select what you have or plan on having.

Many tattoos/a lot of coverage

A few tattoos/medium coverage

One tattoo/least coverage

Clean Cut/All natural skin

Great answers everyone, very interesting views. It's also interesting to see the poll balance between clean cut/All natural skin and a few tattoos/medium coverage. It looks like those who prefer tattoos like them having more than one.

[DivaMonae]

It depends I'm not really the biggest fan of tats, one or two is okay with me. I hate when tatoos are all over your bodery single spot.

But, I saw this really hot guy, and he had a decent amount of tatoos, saw them on his arm, could be more. I foundit so attractive, he made it work. This guy was GEORGEOUS! He had an amazing skin tone, like it was glowing, had a nice smile, seductive look, love the way he lcked his lips, and he had the prettiest eyes that I ever seen! With his snap back, shirt, jeans, jordans. He was just so hot! Then he asked my age and I wanted to cry, said see you in 3yrs =( On the upside one year and some months to go =D

Sorry kinda got off topic, I guess tatoos deped on your look, personality, and what the tatoo is of, to decide how many tatoos they shgould have including 0 to any #

[vishna]

I really don't care if he has one or two or three. It's not about the number, it's about the look. I don't really the arms totally covered and the legs done and the side and back too...I think some nice tattoos are nice...haha I don't know exactly how to word that better.

Hmmm there are exceptions to the full coverage thing because a man came into my job once had he had a great large tattoo on his arm and that just goes to show quality of a large quantity can change a girl's mind u.u

I don't care if it's visible either...he doesn't have to hide it in public like some great secret :P

If he's not proud of it then that's a problem.

[MAJ4251]

I don't really have a preference when it comes to tattoos. I don't mind either way. If they have tattoos, awesome. We can talk about tattoos in depth then. If they don't have tattoos, that's awesome too because then it's something that would be different about us.

Now that I think about it, I like the look of one person having tattoos in the relationship and the other doesn't. Is that weird? haha

I have tattoos and my boyfriend doesn't and I have to say, I like it that way. But if and when he gets tattoos, that's fine too :)

[kairon156]

I like your answer. I picked D because there was no (show results) option.

I have no tattoos but if I ever get drunk enough I'll get one and only one.

[GuruGuy]

Maj, that doesn't sound weird to me at all. I can understand it in a sense of the appeal of contrast.

Kairon, I didn't add a show results option because if you look at the bottom I asked the guys to select what they have or are planning on getting. I did this so the ladies can be entertained as well by what the majority of men here do. I'm hoping to get a big turnout on this question so people can see and read more peoples views on this.

[Anonymous]

In my opinion, it depends on their cultural and religious back grounds. But most usually don't care as long as its not offensive, is unique, looks good, and your personality stands out with some things you are passionate about. Although I have six already, I plan on having way more. They all have their own meaning, and I could write an essay about them all. I got five the first month, and the sixth one a few. Months ago, to maybe five.

[MaskofInsanity]

I love both. Artistic tattoos can make a guy sexier, but that doesn't mean I'm not super attracted to a guy with clean skin.

I'd rather a guy with no tats then a guy with crappy tats.

I love medium to heavy coverage - but no facial tats. Sleeves, back pieces, etc - incredibly sexy.

The guy I like now has no tattoos, nor any intention of getting any. Doesn't affect my attraction to him at all.

[GuruGuy]

Nice answer. Describe your definition of artistic tattoos, are they ones that are complex and possibly tell a story? Do you include tattoos that are just about regular things that define a person like a music note, heritage flag, divers flag, or some hobby?

[MaskofInsanity]

I'm in the minority in that I don't think tattoos have to have meaning for me to appreciate them, there are some pieces that I adore because they are art. Artistic tattoos are the detailed, complex ones that are just a marvel to look at. The regular tats are fine too, and meaning always makes the tattoo more significant.

For example, I have my entire upper back covered. At first glance the tattoo has no meaning, but in reality I have incorporated a lot of things that have symbolism.

[GuruGuy]

Nice, sounds like an interesting tattoo

[crybaby]

I like both, but if it's a crappy tattoo then no. It depends on the tattoo you are planing on getting and the place you want it to be. I personally find them hot.

[GuruGuy]

I've always considered the shoulders and a back piece in the top center as the best spots for tattoos I've thought about.

[crybaby]

On the front or the back of the shoulders? And where on the back?

[GuruGuy]

On the sides of the shoulders, facing left and right. The back as I said would be in the top center; between the shoulders on the top half of the back.

[crybaby]

oh yeah, forgot about that. But that is a H.O.T place to get a tattoo on! :)

[GuruGuy]

The back or the shoulder spot?

These are the spots I was talking about, obviously not these tattoos or style of tattoos though.

[crybaby]

i like the shoulder one better.

[confugirl]

I prefer guys with some tattoos or at least guys who like tattoos, because I'm planning to get one myself in the near future. I'm just waiting to see if I still like the design after a year, before permanently putting it on my skin. So it'd be a turn on to have a guy who could enjoy tattoos and piercings with me.

I'm not a fan of hand, neck and face tattoos though. They always turn out wrinkly and the knuckle tattoos are especially cheesy (like they think they're gangsta or something).

[Katy16]

I picked D, but I'd also be OK with C if the tattoo wasn't somewhere that'd be visible at church and/or work most of the time.

But I've thought about getting one myself, so that makes a difference. lol (I'd wanna get "WWJD" on my wrist ^_^ )

[GuruGuy]

I like it

[samhradh_leannan]

No tattoos is ideal to me, but minimal tattoo coverage (no more than two or three small tattoos) won't be a deal breaker for me as long as I find them tasteful. But lots of tattoos, or tattoos that are icky to me, I would have a really hard time putting up with.

[various]

I honestly don't have a preference. I am attracted to men with and without tattoos. The only time I am not attracted to someone with tattoos is if it covers half or more than half of their body (especially their face or neck). I have nothing against men who choose to cover all of their bodies with tattoos, but I lose physical attraction.

[oathtoyou]

I have one tattoo on my foot so ,I'm not going to be hypocrital and say no tattoos. As long as the tattoo is meaningful and not a drunken mistake I'm okay with it. I'm attracted to Guys for their personalities not looks.

[Bethany94]

My boyfriend is perfect the way he is, I just think a tattoo would ruin that. I'm just more of a natural looks person overall.

[Alexias]

I am currently tattooless (and could be for awhile) and I could go both ways, just no tribal tattoos or foreign languages you don't understand.

[MorbidPrincess94]

My boyfriend doesn't have any tattoo and I think it's better this way but I wouldn't mind it if he had one to show his love for me.

[MariahBailey]

I voted C. I don't really mind if my man has a few tattoos but I'm not that attracted to men covered in tattoos meaning I don't want to see the tattoos while he's filly dressed. A mostly clean cut look is perfect IMO.

[Tycho]

A little body art can't hurt, it's not a preference nor a deal breaker for me. I mean if you happen to have a tattoo, great, if not, that's cool too, that's not something I specifically go for just because they have ink on their body.

[pr3ttybr0wn]

I prefer guys with lots of tattoos. I like guys who have them on arms, chest, neck, hands. Covered in tatts is the ideal. I'm not that into clean cut guys

[DutchAtheist]

Neck and hands? Do you expect them to have a carreer or not? Because outside of entertainment, that is really hard to have accepted.

[GuruGuy]

Well now, seems you're the first to say that you are not in to clean cut men. Why would you say that is? I'm curious

[pr3ttybr0wn]

I'm attracted to guys who look tough and hard. clean cut guys can be attractive, but they don't get me as turned on as often

[GuruGuy]

Interesting, so it sounds like you like more of the idea of the tattoo rather than the tattoo itself. It seems like the tattoo makes the guy seem more like a rebel or "bad boy" in your view. That's what I'm getting from your answers at least.

[amber2567]

My boyfriend has two. They don't bother me as long as he ain't COVERED in em.

[HaggardDiva]

I'm a sucker for tattoos. There is a point of too many, like on the face.

[GiftShop]

Good tattoos are attractive but a man with no tattoos is just as attractive.

[CindiluvsFriends]

Clean cut,although one or two are fine just as long as they are covered.

[Anonymous]

I prefer guys who are clean cut, but a couple of tattoos wouldn't be a deal breaker for me or anything.

[Jas93]

We I like both, but I like tattoos more. I like a guy with at the most , a few tattoos. As along as he his covered in them like Travis Barker, I'm good.

[bettybets]

I don't mind tattoos, I want one myself. But I only prefer he has a few. I don't want him covered in them.

[calialltheway1993]

Only if his tattoos have personal meanings. I'm a fan and I will get inked soon, so it's no problem if he is inked.

[nerfetiti]

I choose B love tattoos the is a kind of sexiness about the one on the bicep on the arm and maybe two more somewhere I don't know where but somewhere

[Anonymous]

no tattooing for me! lol I like the natural state much more!

[YouknowyouloveitXoXo]

I voted C. A few tattoos are okay but I head to toe is unattractive to me. I also like guys without tattoos as well.

[Anonymous]

I prefer no tattoos visually because it just feels 'cleaner'. But if that wasn't an option I prefer the original tattoo color, a good design and not too large.

[Anonymous]

I would tolerate a maximum of 3 tattoos if they have a meaning and if it's not offensive. But I wouldn't tolerate more, because it reminds me of skinheads.

[Frostie]

Fun fact, the first skinheads were created from a clash of Jamaican rude boy cultur and mods, which meant they weren't racist... The national front in the nineteen elites actually had a hand in. Yay for stereo typing a group of people. link

[Frostie]

Eighties

[Opinion Owner]

I know.

[XRabbitHeartX]

D.. I prefer no tattoos.

[Anonymous]

clean cut unless the tattoo is really small and he cna cover it

[COCOCHANEL]

no tattoos is more pure and boyish. that's what I like.

[fabysgirl]

I like both but it depends on the tattoo not all tattoos are pretty

[Anonymous]

i prefer them clean cut, I would only think a guy is hot with tattoos

[GuruGuy]

Um, what? You do know clean cut is no tattoos right? Because your answer is contradictory, unless you meant to put without*

[Anonymous]

i prefer clean cut men

[BackAgain]

Clean cut or rugged and all natural

[Anonymous]

Actually both.

[Anonymous]

A few tattoos/medium coverage

[kangaru]

i voted D

[Anonymous]

I despise tattoos
