Tattoos on ladies

I think, what @ColinJ is saying has nothing to do with the simplicity of the matter, but rather with ones personal choices..

Yes!

If somebody asked me whether I liked their tattoos, piercings or other body mods I would say that I preferred not to comment.

If they insisted, I would say that the only body changes that I like are those brought about naturally by healthy diet and exercise, and maybe simple hair cutting and/or shaving.

My preference would be no tattoos, no piercings, no split tongues, 'horn insertions', cosmetic amputations, or fancy hairstyles, all of which my nephew either has, or wants - The lizardman is his hero!

I would add makeup, high-heeled shoes and other fashion clothing to that list.

Most people do not share the same taste as me and would find me boring. That's fine. Don't tell me what to do or not do, and I will give you the same respect.

I think that tattoos on anyone* are a way of warning the rest of the world you can't be trusted. Similarly the number of earrings in a man's ear** are in direct proportion to their weirdness.

*Except sailors where it's been a custom since Cooks voyages to the Pacific.
** Except pirates.

one question this thread does raise, and I won't go overboard here because I know it's café, but why are there so many sexual connotations around a females choice of exterior packaging?

Hilarious as they may be I do wonder at the adoption of terms like 'tramp stamp', I don't think I need to list all of the others or mention the constant linking between appearance and 'doability'.

I also note that the same sort of stuff isn't on the table when discussing male appearance.

That is your opinion.

My opinion is that statement is utter rubbish. It's like saying a man with long hair can't be trusted or a woman with short hair!! doh. I wonder how many tattoos your bank manager has under his suit ??

"Tattoos on ladies"? That's a contradiction in terms isn't it?

Exactly. I wonder how many tattoos Nick Clegg has?

In his case, they're called "twattoos"

I don't have any strong view on whether ladies (or men) should or should not have them, I just don't see the point of them. I particullay don't get it when folk have them on their backs where they can't see them, it's bit like commissioning a piece of art and keeping a sheet over it.

Someone once said to me a butterfly tattoo on a young woman will look like a moth when she's 60. Probably nonsense but it did make me laugh.

Tattoos may be OK whilst you are young and with a good figure. I wonder what they will look like in 30 years time when things begin to wrinkle and sag.

After 30 years everything starts to sag for both men and women alike, so what difference does adding a tattoo matter , or is just me that looks in the mirror and think i am melting

My reaction to "weirdness" is: Who is he or she harming? (Usually) no one, so why worry. And as a warning of whether someone can be trusted or not I find the distance between their eyes to be infallible.

My mother taught me to never trust anyone with 2 eyes.....and to be very suspicious of anyone with more than 2!
Over the years, I have learned that one eyed people can't be trusted either.

Some tat's look good on women, some tat's look bad. A certain tat can look good on one woman and yet look bad on another woman; well that's my opinion anyway. If you really want a tattoo then I say go for it. I'm not a big fan of bog standard tats such as celtic/tribal designs etc that have simply been picked off of one of the wall displays with no real thought put in it.

It would be hypocritical of me to say 'Don't get a tat.' seeing as I've got 3 tattoo's. I'm not overly happy about my 1st tattoo as I got it for the sake of having a tat; I simply went into a tattoo parlour one day in my early twenties, chose a tat off of one of the wall displays and had it done. Last year I got the other two tats done to cover up some SH scars. I've got the Bristol coat of arms on my left arm (I was born there.) and the Exeter coat of arms on my right arm (I really love Exeter.) & I love them. I'm seriously thinking of getting another two tat's
