I like tatoos on men. It really depends on what they are and where they are located.

Not usually a huge fan but I sometimes like them if they are well done and discreet.

Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em -- IF they're done with thought and creativity.

If you're getting something that means something to you personally and it's something you've thought about and is well designed and well executed, awesome.

"Metallica ROX" tattoos, etc. are pretty much a turnoff though.

in general, no. But there are exceptions... I think it's cool when military men or fraternity men have their letters or branch (ie. USMC, USAF) tattoed DISCREETLY on their upper arm. No big ol display, just a couple of letters.

My boyfriend has a tattoo of an @ sign on his shoulder (it isn't near as dorky as it sounds...there is a story behind it) - and while I don't particularly care for it, it could be so very much worse.

On certain guys tattoo's are VERY sexy. On other's, bad placement and bad taste make it very UNsexy.

Call me an old school marm, but I don't like tattoos in any way shape or form.

I agree. While I have friends who have huge tattoos, good for them. And my brother has a tatoo of his fraternity and a cross on the inner calf... it's not too big... and it's got his letters. AND he can hide it at family gatherings and compand picnics (someone always told me that you dont want to get somthing that you can't hide at work [or stuff] where you have to be upright and responsible worker - not that you arent if you have one... it's just the look). I'd be concerned if my friend Joey came to company picnic and everyone saw the huge blue devil on his right shoulder blade (from HS) or the one on his shoulder, and lower back.. NOT GOOD.

Besides, I hate to say this.. but I wouldn't be able to bring home a guy who had huge / a lot of / or even remotely visible tatoos home to mommy and daddy... :rolleyes:

I don't like tattoos, either on men or women.

I want to get our badge done on my back inbetween the shoulder blades...thoughts? comments?

I LOVE tattoos, if they are nice, well done, and well placed (tattoos on the face = BAAAAD idea). A good tattoo can be very sexy.

Of course, I'm biased because I have two. I think I feel a sort of "kinship" with other tattooed people. ;)

CutiePie2000, I'm an old school marm too :p I don't find tatoos very appealing!

Okay, that's it valkyrie...we are GC twins.

Absolutely to a "T".

I agree with that. I like smaller ones, not ones that take up the whole back, or whatever. This guy in my English class over the summer had this tatoo around his upper bicep. He was in the military for 4 years. Man that was sexy, and it didn't hurt that he was a freakin hottie and his biceps were muscular.
If I got a tatoo, I would get one somewhere discrete. Maybe on the small of my back. I think either a dolphin or lion (he's ours mascot symbol).

I would suggest getting it off to one side or getting it done of the outside of your lower leg.

I love tattoos. I have 2 myself. However, they should be tasteful and should mean something to the person.

It completely depends on the tattoo and placement. One of my guy friends has a chinese symbol for Aries on the back of his neck and it's so awesome. Another friend has a tribal band around him upper arm with a moon in the middle because his last name is Moon. As long as the tattoo means something and isn't just chosen out of the tattoo catalog at the parlor, it should be fine.

One thing that I hate though is tattoos all over the place. Ick. A couple is fine, but when you're completely covered...that's not good.

I dont like tattoos, so therefore i would never get one.

If a guy had ONE, i would be okay with it if it wasnt somewhere noticeable. I dont think i would dig a guy that had several or even a few in places where it would be seen.

I'm not a big fan . . . of course, that's just personal taste. I know girls who loves guys with tattoos. And obviously it depends -- like everybody else has said -- on the design, size and placement. I don't think I'd ever date a guy with huge/obvious tattoos, but I don't find smaller, more discreet tattoos to be a turnoff.

Gee, this is so subjective. On a young, fit guy, a tattoo can look really sexy. On the other hand, I saw an--ahem--older neighbor in a bathing suit a few days ago. He had two tattoos and it looked just plain icky.

And that's the crux of the issue I have with tattoos. I would totally love one now that I'm still young, firm, and cute. But how will it look when I'm 70? ;)

Some tattoos are ok. If they are all over chances are you won't be meeting my mom and dad. I really hate when a guy has one tattoo and it is on the back of his lower leg. What's up with that? I don't like that spot for tattoos. I have no tattoos. I am to indecisisve so the last thing i need to do is put something on my body that I won't like in a few months. I had a belly ring--took it out after a year bc I was bored with it. Yet, I want a nose ring. It's really up to the person, justdon't be stupid and share a needle like Pam Anderson.

Some tattoos are great, some are awful. I think it depends on size, placement, significance, and overall appearence.

LOL. One of my friends brought up the fact that in 50 years, there will be millions of ladies in nursing homes across the country, with big saggy butterflies tattooed just above their butts!

That's why I could never bring myself to get a tattoo -- way too permanent. I might like it now, but in 40 years it'll look awful. For that matter, it'll probably look awful in 20 years!

Reminds me of a cartoon I saw where the young sailor had a Destroyer on his chest, and then the next pic showed him when he was older and the ship was sinking...lol.

We have a condo in Flordia so I see all kinds of peeps and tattoos and locations. If you are in to tattoos (and I'm not) they're ok on trim-fit guys and gals, but if person is oversized or older then FORGET IT! It's almost as bad as seeing thongs or a briefs on a bad bod...ewww. Flapping cheeks on a woman or a hairy beer gut jiggling over the front of the suit is yucky!

Another old school marm here! No tattoos for me!
I don't mind tattoos on military men.

Never give a guy with a temporary tatoo a second look, that's a sign of :eek::eek::eek::eek:iness!
:cool:

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE tattoos on guys! My hubby just returned from his Navy deployment looking exceptionally fit, buff and generally yummy and I'd LOVE it if he'd get a small tattoo on his shoulder blade. I think it would look soooooo hot but he hates them so I wouldn't even bring up the idea to him :(

I LOVE tattoos :) :) My bf is getting a tattoo soon on his shoulder *swoons* and it is going to look so hot!! But of course, you must remember what it'll probably end up looking like when you're old and decaying..

I'm split on the tattoo thing.......if it is small, discreet, and meaningful.......then by all means go ahead. For example, my best friend Derek....has a screaming eagle on his upper arm that isn't too big, and the chinese symbol for dedication on his calf.

On the other end of the spectrum is my e.x. who has his last name in huge 4 inch Old English letters across his upper back and shoulder blades. I was not a fan of that.

I agree with little snakey k...

mr amycat has mermaid on his bicep and it could not be hotter.

on the other hand, a friend of his has most of his right thigh tatooed in a design and a smallish tatoo on his left calf--this is just icky icky icky...and must be hell for makeup artists to have to cover when he has to wear shorts/underwear/be naked on camera (he's an actor).

I guess its just because I've been brought up to be a proper Southern belle, but I would never get a tattoo, or want my guy to have them.

I really don't like tattoos, perhaps because I tend to be very forward-thinking... yeah, that eagle or whatever looks great on the guy's bicep now, but when we're married twenty years down the road, do I still want to see that eagle there?

I think its something young men can definitely pull off, but what about when they're older? Tattoos are a definite turn off for me... I don't want my husband to have a tattoo!

Okay, I'm a big weirdo talking about husbands and stuff...

XOXO,
Annie.

Girls how do you feel about a tattoo of a regulation sized baseball and a basketball right next to each other?
