I may be old school, but I believe a woman should never mark her body up with lots of tattoos. It defeats the beauty of her real self.
It's not like you can get a giant eraser and make them go away. So it's a permanent scar for life.
Having 1 or 2 small ones is fine. But to have an entire arem or 55-65% of your body covered, that's not attractive to me. If a man can't accept you as you are, he ain't worth it. A woman shouldn't have to mark over half her body to find love. Real love is based on acceptance and inward beauty.

I personally am not found of tattoos and never will get one but if she wants to get one then it’s up to her as a form of self expression. In the end everything we do outside or inside our bodies has some consequences.

A person can do what they want. I am a non-tatoo person. It's not something I ever liked.

I realize this should probably go in the religion thread.... I also realize not everyone is Christian.
But in reply to THIS thread..The Bible warns against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28
which says, “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.” Just because society approves of something does not make it right in the eyes of God.

I wasn't thinking of this as a religious thing.

I'll never understand why a woman, blessed with an amazing, feminine, perfect body straight from her creator, would choose to ruin it with tats! Much more to say on this but I'll bite my tongue and stop right here.

Nothing turns me on more than to see, "hector was here" tatted on a womens backside.

:joy:



OT: Should they? Sure, why not. I don’t personally have any, and I have seen a lot that I thought looked tacky. But I’ve also seen some that are beautiful. A professionally-done sleeve that looks like lace or floral is more appealing to me than a bunch of random, unrelated tattoos.

It was interesting to hear a mention of religion in regard to tattoos, because the two issues are similar. People commit to religions - look at the profiles here and many contain no information except for the person's religion. Similarly getting a tattoo is a lifetime commitment. There's not much point in talking to religious people because their ideas aren't their own, and similarly tattooed people's "artworks" aren't their own.

Why do you assume women go for ink to try and find a man?
A totally ridiculous statement that lacks any insight in people.

Also, practise what you preach here: if love is based on acceptance and inward beauty you shouldn't be opposed to women with tattoos either but accept and love them for who they are.
Yet you judge them on the amount of ink on their skin??
That's more than a tad hypocritical!

For a lot of people tats are something we didn't grow up with. The only people we might've seen with them were our WWII navy vet uncles. For the younger age range having them is just as acceptable as having a cell phone, being on Facebook, using Twitter, etc.

'Should' is the key word here.
'Should', according to whom?
You?

The question Should women have many tats? implies you think it is your authority to dictate the behavior and beliefs of others.

To me, the real issue for discussion is your sense of grandeur which makes you believe others should bow down and submit to your expectations of them.
Not tattoos.

What's next?
Women should have long hair.
Women should wear nylons?
Women should walk behind you in public.
Women should know how to cook, do laundry, change diapers, make beds...etc

It also makes me think your controlling personality may not be limited to only women.
Perhaps you have a set of conditions for everyone in your life.

The sad thing is the fact you can't see how delusional it is to think you can control others. Make other people live up to your expectations.

The dating process is an internal preference hunt.
You seek the one who is within your preference range AS THE ARE. It makes no sense to look for anyone and try to remake them as you want them to be. What you get is a lie, an illusion.
If that person has so little self-respect that they are willing to be something they are not just so they can be with you it is at best, a temporary agreement. Its not fair to yourself and it certainly isn't fair to them.

In life, there are those who align with you and those who don't.
In dating (the mate selection process), once you find that one who aligns, you don't change them to fit better. You allow them to be themselves. After-all, its why you aligned with them in the first place.

Tattoos are great for weeding out the prudes...lol People should get tattoos for themselves, not for anyone else. As for the religious idea, those some books say "A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet." (1 Timothy 2:11-12) along with not eating shellfish or mixing clothing fabrics...They have a huge list of other ancient out-dated ideas that people still try to force onto others.

That being said, your body is like a blank canvas. It is up to you how you want to decorate it. Some people will decorate it daily with make up while others do it more permanent with tattoos. While I like good tattoos, I am not a fan of the jail house styles or making it look like you are a kindergarten art project. But that is my taste, if you like them then go for it. It is always a shame to hear about someone who wants to do something like get a tattoo but they don't because of what others might think...

Tats are tribal markings. They say "I belong to this group". Military, gang, religion, tribe, hippster, what ever.

A thousand years from now archeologists are going to be able to tell what decade a person lived in by looking at whether they have tats or not.

I guess I'm a prude. I don't have a tattoo. I'm not getting one,

It's all a question of choice, and we are all free to treat our bodies as we wish, "should women have many tats?". That is her decision, but I believe fashion plays a part in her decision because many women are dedicated followers of fashion, and tats have been very in vogue in recent years, in my opinion.

Exactly, it's a fashion trend that will be out of date one day.
