Guys! Are you intimidated by tattooed women?

[Anonymous]

I'm quite heavily tattooed. I have a full sleeve, chest, hips etc. I used to be an apprentice tattooist and I'm honestly quite pretty and lady like. But I'm almost certain I intimidate men and they wouldn't want to date me because of it. Would you be embarressed to bring someone home like me/introduce me to your rents? Do you prefer bare skin?

[tom-tom-traveler]

I have friends with one or two tattoos and another who is covered with them all across her arms and torso (including a massive "tramp stamp" across her lower back). I'd had the honor to have seen her nude long before she got most of her tattoos, and I have to say that she was more attractive to me back then.

For me it isn't a matter of intimidation, but personal choice, that caused me to change my opinion of her appearance. I personally love the look of a woman when she is in her bare, natural state where her curves are all subtlety and her skin is smooth, warm and (relatively) unblemished. There's a poetry in that which gets obscured when ink gets thrown into the mix.

[Asker]

See with me it's different, men prefer me with tattoos. But I love bare skin on men. My ex's rents approved of me untill I took of my coat :/ and tramp stamps are dirty as.

[superuss]

Honestly, I am not intimidated by tattoos, I just find tattoos to be a turn off for me. Not trying to be mean, just stating my personal preference. That said, I have dated women that have tattoos, in the past, and I did not feel ashamed about anyone meeting them.

[Asker]

So you think it can take beauty away instead of enhance it?

[superuss]

Honestly, yes. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I thought you deserved an honest answer.

[Asker]

I asked this for honest answers so thank you :) I'm not offended haha

[Cailleach]

I don't have a d***, but I'll answer your question anyway. Yes, I would take you to meet my rents if I hypothetically was able to stomach them, but as I can’t….no. But I have tatt's myself, so I have no problems with them.

[Distant]

I prefer untattooed girls but if, for whatever reason, I did end up with a girl who was tattooed, I wouldn't mind bringing her home to meet my parents, etc.

[Jinmetsu_Rasetsu]

No... But I can be repulsed by the following:

Tatoos of crosses or other religious symbology (according to my beliefs it is a curse to do so...)

Facial tatoos

Tatoos on neck

Tatoos of anyone's name (according to my beliefs it is a curse to do so...)

Tatoos on hands

Just don't look right to me... that's all.

[Brando]

Nope, it's actually interesting. I'm sure you've heard of the Suicide Girls? Yeeeeeah... lol

[pandaninja]

I have no problem with tatoos on a girl infact they can I find them very very attractive on most of their body, however I really don't find them attractive in on the chest (not saying it would be a deal breaker), as for taking her to meet my parents that would also not be a problem, who I date is up to me and my parents can like her or not but its not changing anything.

[G-Daz]

I prefer girls with no tattoos, I plan on moving back to Brazil when am older and if she came with me, she would have a pretty hard time finding a job. Its looked down upon there for someone to cover their body in tattoos and considered very unprofessional so she would have a hard time finding a decent job.

No offense and this is just my personal opinion but they tend to make an attractive girl look trashy

I am just not attracted to it, I prefer girls that are natural, there are plenty of guys that do like it I guess

[Asker]

I never actually have trouble finding a job :) ha ha but I understand where you're coming from.

[G-Daz]

im assuming you are from the US, its much less strict there and considered a mild form of discrimination I guess but still even in the US. If its too over the top its still waaay too unprofessional. I couldn't imagine seeing a lawyer with a "f*** you" tattoo printed on his forehead and staples all over his face with a bullring. In brazi you would have a much harder time just saying... but there are many guys that are into tattoos and even like it so you shouldn't have a problem

[Asker]

Err I'm not American haha

[San_Diego_Rick]

She's Australian, I can just tell. Having tattoos is more acceptable there when it comes to jobs.

[San_Diego_Rick]

I'm surprised and disappointed at all the guys who are turned off by tattoos, I love tattoos on a girl and a full sleeve is badass and a turn on for me(for some reason lol). It would not intimidate me but I wouldn't think you were interested. Nose piercings are hot too. Oh and I don't have any tattoos myself.

[Asker]

Why would you think someone wouldn't be intersted because they have ink? Haha

[San_Diego_Rick]

I was wondering that myself, I guess it just seems like you wouldn't like a guy who didn't have ink as well. Dumb I know lol. I would just imagine you smirking or something if I hit on you, but I would be stoked if you talked to me and I would take it from there.

[Asker]

Good answer, maybe that's my problem. I get attention from tattooed guys and not guys I'm actually attracted to because of that reason. Haha oh yep I would smirk but I wouldn't ignore you just because you didn't have ink.

[San_Diego_Rick]

You should add me as a friend.

[TeemJake]

Why do you have a football logo as your avatar? this isn't an nfl forum lol.

[Asker]

Nah it's clearly a nfl forum ha ha I will when I work out how and I'm not on my phone...

[San_Diego_Rick]

I like how she deletes her account after that comment. I wasn't even going to say anything.

[Asker]

Obviously she was just too hilarious for this forum.

[hALLDAY]

No, not intimidated. Turned off, tattoo's aren't appealing to me.

[Asker]

Is there a reason for this or is it life experiences/your parents opinions who have influenced this?

[hALLDAY]

I don't know, I just think women look more attractive without them.

[dx021]

tattoos on women seem to be a magnifier ; it makes a hot girl hotter and an ugly girl uglier.

in my experiences girls with tattoos tend to be pretty hedonistic and slutty, which isn't bad for casual fun and living life, but I doubt I'd bring anyone like that home to parents

[Asker]

Would you have a different opinion to a girl with a tramp stamp and someone like me who is covered in their own art? Or is it just tattoo's in general that lead you to the assumption that the girl would quite easily drop her knickers at the word go?

[dx021]

it's an assumption based on personal experiences, not something completely unfounded.

[Asker]

Would you assume a man with similar coverage would also have whore like tendancies?

[dx021]

it depends on how much game he has. but if he had the option to, he'd prob be more willing to take it than some clean cut christian evangelist.

[Asker]

I know Christians with equal or greater amounts of tattoos than myself. Your argument doesn't hold, it's obviously purely based on gender assumptions and/or perceptions. It's like saying the new blond girl in the office who happens to wear revealing clothes is more likely to blow you off behind your desk.

[dx021]

see you are angry feminist ... assumptions validated ! hurray

[Asker]

Sorry to disappoint you but no I'm not a feminist. In fact I love the men in my love more than the women. Society and gender perceptions just upset me, of course there is not much you can do about it. Sorry if I offended you.

[dx021]

no you didn't. and that viewpoint that society and constructed gender roles are to blame is actually quite prevalent, but every generation has "those ideas" that future ones laugh at. alot of what we see is just a reflection of hardwired male and female psychologies and behaviors, evolved and shaped by pre-natal hormones and then puberty to be very different. from what I've seen, tattooed women seem to have fewer inhibitions and a wilder personal & sex life, and usually aren't too big on LTRs

[taster]

Not intimidated...turned off...introduce to parents?...idk...maybe...but probably would not date u...

[Asker]

It's okay I probably wouldn't date you either ;)

[taster]

Oui, c'est vrai..but you asked...so I answered...:(

[Asker]

Haha I'm joshin' :)

[taster]

I don't wish to be mean...maybe I could overlook that if you were good looking and I liked your personality...but I will never understand why females would think for one nanosecond that I would prefer to gaze at ornaments instead of real female...

[Asker]

Haha totally. Ahh I'm in art college doing a bachelor and tattooing was just another area I wanted to explore :)

[taster]

Yeag..but you can never get them off...

[Asker]

I'm sure one day someone will invent instant tattoo removal hah. Besides my tattoos are a story of my life :)

[taster]

This thread reminds me of two other scenarios: 1) a female has breast augmentation...only to find out that the love of her life prefers smaller breasts & 2) What is the difference between Love & Herpes? Herpes lasts forever... Females always seem to be talking abut what they do for themselves instead of for males...and what I tell them is...OK fine enjoy yourself...when I want to drink alcohol...i wil just "do it for myself" but it doesn't fly...does it?

[Asker]

I was merely asking for clarification on a few points ha ha and yes you have a valid arguement :) I did however think it highlighted social norms and opinions which is what I needed. Also sorry to hear about the herpes...

[taster]

LOL! Herpes...that is an old joke from the eighties...

[Malcom_Reynolds]

Agreeing with someone below, not intimidated by them, but turned off by them. One or two small ones can look OK, but the amount you say you have wouldn't do it for me. I just prefer bare skin.

[mrkdvsn]

I'm not intimidated by them, but I am put-off by their skin ink. I MUCH prefer bare skin.

[Zerkerology]

I'm mainly intimidated by tatted women because I don't have tats of my own.

[Elvislivzon]

Absolutely. Not that I don't find them attractive or wouldn't date someone with tatoos, but I kinda feel like I might be overmatched when it comes to the bedroom. I mean, if you're daring enough to get all those tats, you are probably looking for a lot more in the sex department than I can offer.

[tattootattoo]

To me it's ok with ink
I will be happy to have something like this on my girlfriend
You can give me many tattoos if you wanna practise well

[Aaronjaded]

I don't have any tattoos due to a medical condition. Quite honestly, it depends on the tattoos. Bad looking, poor quality tattoos are a turnoff for me, but in general I think it is cool. I appreciate both fancy/artistic tattoos and people with a lot of tattoos or big pieces. To me this shows commitment, patience and dedication.

[Anonymous]

sadly, when I see a woman with tatoos, I think "Hell's angels" bikers. and I steer clear of her. I guess I would have to know her before she got the tatoos, but I doubt I would "make a move" on a woman with excessive tatoos

[Asker]

Yet if I was wearing a coat I bet you might. Oh society is funny.

[Anonymous]

No, I'm not intimidated by them. I just don't find tattoos attractive at all. I prefer bare skin.
