I’ve got a few tattoos. My husband doesn’t really like them, but I wouldn’t call it a phobia, he would just prefer I not have them.

Big tattoos on a woman scream two things to me.

1. Bad decisions.

2. Attention whore


Both are reasons to take a pass. Zero chance I’d accept a heavily tattooed woman for a committed relationship.

Ive noticed from time to time that members will comment when they see a tattoo or someone with a tattoo and cry about it and post that stupid f'ing faggotty sounding word "inkie"... first off that word truly does make one who says that sound very light in the loafers, almost like a todler.. or a gay tranny idk.. anyways what is the phobia with tattoos to yall?? are you guys like simps? do they make you scared?  seriously i dont get it.  

example in this thread where @9divdoc commented.. this thread which is pretty comical thread and everyone thought it was a funny pic yet someone freaked out and cried "inkies! "

I just dont get it, help me understand


to the dumbass boomer crowd tats = criminal/bum/druggy

old people are like that sometimes. My grandma still shits a brick that I have long hair and a full beard. "YOU'LL NEVER GET A JOB!




*I'm going to edit to add, I do have my limits. I think face/neck/hand tats look stupid as fuck. I'm a pretty big believer in any tat I get(I currently don't have any) will be able to be covered up.

The irony is that, IIRC, the staff that came up with the term PureSkins, or at least popularized it here, once posted a large shoulder tattoo.

My biggest problem with ink?

It's a freaking fad, it'll be dated like zoot suits, flapper hair, poodle skirts, tie die, bell bottoms, leisure suits, beehive hairdos, parachute pants, mullets, etc.   But unlike those, you can't drop your tats off at Goodwill or go see a barber as styles change.

Ya'll making fun of boomers, wait until the post-apocalypse kids are razzing you about all that ink.


View Quote

Ah yes...

Zoot suits = 1930s/1940s in pockets of the US
Flapper Hair = 1920's young women in pockets of the US
Poodle Skirts = 1950s young women in the US
Tye Die = 1960's hippy counterculture in the US (and still popular)
Bell Bottoms = 1970's in the US
Beehive hairdos = 1960's hairstyle that's still around
Parachute pants = 1980's style of pants
Mullets = Still popular all over the world.


But yes, all of those fads in isolated time periods, areas, and sometimes only with females (beehive, poodle skirts) is TOTALLY comparable to tattoos that have been literally been found on mummies dating back to 3300 BCE. And we're talking about a trend that is practiced all over the world for the past 5000 years in all different geographic areas and cultures.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_tattooing

I would say 5000 years of tattooing all throughout the world isn't comparable to 5 years of American girls wearing poodle skirts.
Trends typically are something that lasts for a short time and then goes away.

I don't like tattoos, fake tits, excesive make-up, piercings, bad scaring from burns, or a ton of other things that deviate from the standard biological appearance of humans. I don't like them, but not to some kind of crazy degree. I wouldn't even say it's a dealbreaker for a spouse, just not preferable.

 I'm a zoomer btw, and I'm more pro gun/libertarian than most of this site. The inkies on here seem to get crazy fucking butthurt when people state their dislike for tattoos, and even argue that it's "fudd" mentality. You are free to get tattoos, and I am free to discriminate against you for it. It's a shit mentality to expect everyone to like the same shit you do and be mad when they don't. Go draw on yourself and subsequently be butthurt somewhere else.

If you need a tattoo to remind you of something, it must not have been that important.

I would say 99 percent of tattoos are for people to try and project a desired image to other people. If it were truly something personal, you wouldn't need a tattoo for it.

It shows poor impulse control and lack of maturity.

As an american it's hard to give a someone who is say, 20-40lbs overweight shit about their weight when there are hundreds of thousands who are 100lbs+ overweight. So more or less, I don't like fat people, but am not really disgusted by them. I am disgusted by the cripplingly obese.

That's not the right question, because she's already the most beautiful woman there is.

The right question is "could a good looking or average looking woman be made more attractive by very well done tattoos" and the answer is "yes".

This is the dumbest fucking thing I have read all day.  Maybe all week.

Yes, it is judging people on the color of (or doodles on) their skin, THAT THEY CHOSE TO PUT ON THEIR SKIN.

If you drive a truck with a Carolina squat, I'm going to judge you.  If you sag your pants so your boxers are hanging out or walk around with all the tags on your clothes, I'm going to judge you.   If you get a really shitty tattoo, I am going to judge you.   Having ink isn't the class indicator it once was; having shitty ink is the class indicator.   It's not 1891.

Good ink is expensive and requires either money and good taste, or someone willing to donate either or both.  Lousy ink shows poor decision making.

There is a lot of wiggle room and disagreements on what is good based on personal taste, but sometimes someone is just sporting the equivalent of a gas station bathroom stall doodle or a dollar store Thomas Kinkade knock-off painting, and it just is what it is.

Nothing wrong with that but just notice a lot of replies that remind me of something my dad (mid 70's) might say.

The two that stand out the most...

-Calling anything they don't like as being a "hipster" thing. I've seen this expression used on everything and it's always boils down to "something I don't like."

-Seeing thread rants about styles, haircuts, clothing, expressions etc.. that I haven't seen popular in over a decade. Like half the time it sounds like people here are coming out of a cave from hibernation.

I work in the trades, have for 20+ years, and even before I could work as a kid I was hanging out on job sites.  Gasp I know how dare my folks try to stimulate the economy by hiring filthy, degenerate, pond scumesque inkies.   Let alone even let me associate with those nasty sub human inksters as such a small tyke.  

But I digress....  I'd say about 80%+ of the people who are in the trades have tattoos.  Age range around +/-16 to 75+ years old both men and women.  Many of them, at least 40%, own their own businesses.  Im talking excavators, line men, surveyors, electricians, plumbers, framers, finish carpenters, painters, masons, drywallers, carpet/flooring installers, landcapers, siders, etc.  Hell even the behind the scenes bankers, city regulators/code guys and gals/engineers, real-estate agents, sales reps, IT, and most potential buyers have tattoos.  They are all probably just less than dirt, loser, go nowhere motherfuckers though right....

Y'all old timers really need to get out of your wives basements, I mean "man caves" (that someone probably with tatoos built for you).  Maybe you too can find out what life in the real world is actually like.

Unless you already have snow white skin, white ink sucks and usually doesn't hold up well over time. It's ok for lightening other colors or doing highlights, depending on the skin tone.

As for blacks getting colored tattoos, it depends on the skin tone. I've actually told the really dark ones (blurple) to save there money because it's like trying to sky write at night, it doesn't work.

It's the entire combination for me. Don't get me wrong, I cannot stand women that are overly tanned, puffed up lips, huge fake breasts, etc.. I'm just into a natural look and often times tattoos can enhance it,

That's like liberals going on a gun board posting some Hesse/Vulcan tier AR15 with every cheap Tapco accessory and saying "This is your ultimate AR15, right guyz?"

There is absolutely nothing natural looking about a tattoo. Especially on a woman. Unless the tattoo is covering up some hideous deformity, it is always a detraction.

Don't have a phobia and don't give a shit what people do to their bodies, but tattoos are about the dumbest addiction I could possibly think of IMHO.

I see people who wrap their entire body in ink, makes no sense. What possibly joy could you get out of painting random designs and shit around your body that nobody but you understand. I realize some people see it differently, but that's my take.

Every "boomer" I know has at least one tattoo (men).

The right question is "could a good looking or average looking woman be made more attractive by very well done tattoos" and the answer is "yes".

Not in my world.   Tattoos are generally a negative.  Lots of tattoos a huge turnoff.

The ones bad mouthing tattoos are generally tedious boomer personalities, that live boring, safe lives, but are ok with it because their magical sky daddy book says the next place won't be so scary.

You lost me with the " sky daddy book" thing because I am a believer. But the type of boomer you are describing are called " the grey poupons. They are usually more dismissive than the Werthers originals and twice as smug.

There are people with tattoos, and there are people with tattoos that have to bring them up and if you don't act like it's the most interesting thing in the world and awesome and cool and all this other bullshit, you must clearly hate them and be a faggot/little bitch/etc.

As for me it comes down to tasteful art vs edgy garbage. My buddy has a tattoo on his arm with the date his squadron lost a friend in Afghanistan. That's tasteful, in a professional setting it can be hidden by a shirt and when seen isn't offensive. The trashy people you seen at the curb of the gas station at 3am with a face tat that says "killer" looks bad. They aren't getting hired at 99% of employers either. I'd be willing to bet there aren't any doctors, judges, or engineers with expletives scrawled across their face and neck.

Just like everything else from homosexuality or owning pets, there is always a sector of people who base their entire personality around something. And without knowing anything about op except for this thread, I'd probably include him in that group.

I don't care what people do as long as they don't hurt kids or animals. But leave me out of it.

I have two tattoos. I want more but they aren't high priority when buying guns and ammo gets higher priority.
