Search Results: are tattoos sexy

The reason I ask this is. Is due to a recent event to where I went to a friends pool party, and since my tattoo was done last winter, and not going to a lot of places where I take off my shirt. Not many people have actually seen it.
During the pool party. I of course took off my shirt, and noticed that I was getting a lot of looks. I'm tall, with dirty blonde, blue eyes, fit the description of a well kept man, teach Sunday School, a well paying job, and usually seen as a "nice guy" (In the good way. Not the overly nice clingy way.).
The tattoo takes up my entire back, but it's a beautiful design of an old circle rune transmutation circle. With a design that surrounds the four elements, and the Norse\Germanic rune text that speaks of old proverbs.
That being said, once I took off my shirt. I immediately had about 4 friends approach me. 3 female, and 1 male. Mentioning the idea that they were incredible surprised that I myself would have a tattoo, and especially one of such a large magnitude. Of course, they all seemed to like it, and spent some time admiring the detail. Though I wasn't expecting to hear what I heard next.
When the four of them left. One of the girls came back later on, and spoke of how extremely hot it was that a well kept guy had such a tattoo. As if I instantly was labeled as a bad boy, and her bad boy desires came out of the closet.
This caused me to tease her a bit about it, and told her that most women probably don't see it being such a big deal. After telling her that. She went to a group of her female peers, and they came back shortly after her departure. All of which reconfirmed her thought process of how sexy it was.

Of course this could have been just a collective thought from that group of girls, but do most girls follow the same line of thinking?

I want to get an idea of how strongly girls like or hate tattoos. For example say I have a really sweet shoulder/upper arm tat. How sexy or unappealing do girls find that? Is it too much, not enough, just right, etc?
