writes:Question for guys please..what do you think of girls with tattoos?!? I'm 33, attractive and single and I have 2 tattoos, one tribal design on my lower back and some writing down my wrist. Both are small and plain black. However I'm worried it puts men off me. I like to be elegant and Classy looking (with a rock edge) but think do these tattoos put men off. I only had my wrist one done last year and I'm now starting to regret it. I really would love to meet an educated and sophisticated man, but I'm worried a decent guy like that would be put off by my tattoos, despite fact I dress well and am well spoken. Thanks

I also have a friend who owns a tattoo shop and he and his wife have lots of tattoos. Overall, I am attracted to women who have tattoos, but I think that I find their tattoos to be a detriment. That is, I would find them that much more attractive and have a higher opinion of them if they did not have tattoos. I wouldn't say having a tattoo is a dealbreaker for me, but it is certainly a major negative to be overcome by other traits. I get depressed when I see an absolutely stunning woman whose appearance is marred (in my opinion) by a tattoo. It's like spraypainting the Mona Lisa. I would definitely think twice before considering any woman with a tattoo as LTR material.

I'm 35, and I find tattoos on a woman to be quite attractive. I do not view girls with ink as trashy or classless, but rather as more adventurous. For me anyway, there also seems to be a correlation between tattoos and how much fun a woman is in bed. So overall I view it as a plus if a girl has some artwork, particularly if it is well done.
One tattoo on the lower back and one on the wrist is perfectly acceptable to me. I don't like it when girls have a lot of ink, though. It gets to be too much at some point, as I appreciate the natural look of skin.

 It's obviously personal preference. I personally think one or two are sexy but the whole arm,etc. is junk looks self-defacing when it's over done.

 Just as women are not a homogenous group of like-minded people, neither are men. There will be some men who love tattoos, some men who dislike them. But if you find the right guy for you, they will accept you for who you are. You don't want to pretend to be someone you're not just to attract a guy.

Good luck

I have sleeves on both arms and my back and neck done. My SO is not particularly fond of my tatoos, but I love them, and so he overlooks them. The right guy will love you for you, tatoos and all!!

 Hello,
I love tattoos on a girl. For me, I love upper arm or below the knee on the side of the leg tattoos the best. They have a sort of sexual quality for me. Like a kind of daring so I say yes, I love them. Don't worry too much about them if you can, they could well be to your advantage with many guys. I say they are great.

I'm probably older than the sort of chap you're interested in, but FWIW I loathe tattoos. When I was growing up it simply wasn't what a quality person would do. The fact that they're everywhere now doesn't change my bias -- given the choice between a girl with and without, I'm going to be more drawn to the girl without.
