Don't they realize they look like truck stop employees?

I find them as un feminine as possible- might as well put an anchor on the shoulder as a butterfly on the butt. To me it is a sign of an impulsive and unstable character. It may also be a good reason to ask them if they have any std's. I don't think I have ever met a classy woman that wore one.

Thats just YOUR opinion. It is not ruining their body. It is an expression just like some women get their ears pierced some women like tattoos and love them. I feel that some tattoos if not in a well placed area don't look very feminine, but not by ANY means do they look "like a truck stop emoployee" I think this is a very close minded statement and point of view.

Have you never heard the term "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean that everyone else thinks they look bad. I love them. I have three. And multiple piercings too which I'm sure you probably don't like either. And no. I don't look like a truck stop employee. Actually I get compliments ALL the time for my tats and piercings from all sorts of different people (even church people!). I have seen women with tats and piercings that look like truck stop hookers, yes, but they're usually the sort of person who would look like truck stop hookers regardless of whether or not they had tattoos. Besides, you really shouldn't judge people on their appearences...

Because it is art and with art, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their opinions and preferences. There are plenty of guys who like women with tattoos. Just as there are women that don't like men with tattoos. Who really cares. If it is not your thing than it doesnt really matter, there are plenty of women that will fall into your likes for women. I could ask why you would be so immature and actually write a question like this, but its pretty obvious that you need to grow up.

Answer: They don't want to ruin their bodies with tattoos. And what do you have against truck stop employees? You say that like it's a bad thing.



That's a pretty raw generalization, hoss. I have a tattoo on my back, and it was a well thought-out undertaking. I work for a large company in a professional position. People who get tattoos do so for a variety of reasons, and from a variety of backgrounds. Your generalization is unfounded.

First of all it is my body so it is my choice.

Art is a form of freedom of speech.

I personally have 2 discreteley placed tattoos.

I do not look like I belong working at a truck stop!

What you do with your body is your buisiness

Usually the high class, stuck up people like yourself never get to expierence things better then reservations and 2 faced hob nobbing!



I wouldn't trade what I have for the world and I wouldn't go out and get sleeves either! Find the right girl and when she takes all her clothes off and you find a butterfly attached to her butt, you will kiss it all the way to the bank!

What's wrong with tattoos? And,according to what would decide upon entering or not entering relationships? To tattoos? The tattoos would be more important than the girl itself? Then that's sad,my friend.Everyone's absolutely free to do whatever they want with their bodies.Wear whateva they want,tattoo,pierce,just WHATEVER.Why would you care,hmmm? Would you judge a person because he/she's got some drawings on their skin? What if it was you the one with those? Would like people judging you for your tattoos? Putting stamps on you like that? Nope,you wouldn't.The women are free to do whatever they want with their bodies just as much as men are.And,if the tattoo is done right and in the right place,it actually can look awesome and sexy on the woman.:)

A truck stop employee said "no" to you, is that what you mean?



Thanks for the 2 points!

I know many women with tattoos and they look great with or with out them, but they made a choice and I still think they look damn good.



Besides if they wanted to look like truck stop employees they would wear pineapple earrings and have platinum hair in a bee hive.

They don't look like truck stop employees to everyone. I love tattoos. Some are trashy, yes, but some are very beautiful and artistic.

2008-08-07 10:15:20 UTC
Because it's a form of expression - some like tats, some like piercings, whatever. I don't have any, but if I did, and someone thought I looked like a truck stop employee, I'd just tell that person not to look at me.

Why are you posting in this section if you don't like tattoos? Why do you care? People get tattoos to express themselves, remember people/events in their lives. I will be covered with tattoos when I have the money! I have 3 and I love them! People can do whatever they want to THEIR bodies. You have no right to try to tell someone otherwise. If you don't like it, don't look! Or even better remove yourself from the situation. RESPECT others decisions!

its all down to individual opinions. i love tattoos and i think they look cool, and beautiful. i wouldnt consider it a ruined body just cause its tattooed. lots of people think that they will look horrible when you get old, but i think that when youre 70yrs if the look of a tattoo is the only worry you have then youre doing fine

i think people who use sun beds and go tanning are really the people who ruin their bodies, or people who are real fat, arent they ruining their bodies?

You have your own opinion and you do make a valid point about some women AND MEN who get tattoos like you mentioned. However I know many girls, including myself, who have very hidden and conservative tattoos, and we still look very feminine. It's not nice to clump everyone into one generalized stereotype.
anonymous
2008-08-07 10:16:57 UTC
okay so I am a women and I personally was thinking (and still thinking) of getting a tattoo. Not a big one but a small heart on my ankle. I would never get a big tattoo, but I do understand why others might.



By getting a tattoo, same reason as men, women see it as showing their strength. Not all women want to be considered a girly girl, so by getting a tattoo, it shows they are strong enough to handle themselves.



hope that helped a little.

i dont really have a problem if a girl has a couple tattoos in fact it would make her more attractive but if she looks like a mural then thats kind of a turn off
hello.
2008-08-07 10:16:17 UTC
not all tattoos make people look like truck stop employees

many tattoos actually mean something to the person

and they get them because they want them

they really couldn't care less about your opinion of them

so

maybe you should get one

before you judge everyone else

I guess for the same reason MEN get tattoos on their bodies.

Why does it have to be a bad thing for women and not for men?









HA! and for the record we ruin our bodies when we get pregnant and there's no removing those scars...at least a tatt can be removed....a stretch mark cannot...

but that's ok that our bodies get ruined for that huh?

They are not ruining tatooing is a very beautiful art, some people find them repulsive some people do not. You cant give this question a very forward answer. You will get a whole bunch of different opinions hope this helped.

Why do guys get tattoos?



Women get them for the same reason as guys.

I can see your point as they all think it's a good thing when they are young however when they are elderly they regret it. On the flip side though it could be argued that it reminds people of their youth and each to their own. We are all different and all want different things. Personally, I would never get one but then that's my choice and decision.

so in your opinion just women, not men, with tattoos have ruined bodies?

Because its our body and we can do what we want to it. If we think that it looks nice then thats all the matters.

my sister has a few tatoos and they really suit her and her personality,

so, No, she hasn't ruined her body thank you very much!
anonymous

actually, if they get the right ones, no they don't. tatoos are a way of expressing yourself. and it's not ruining anything, as long as it means something special to them.

Who said it's ruining? Tattoos are artwork, and just because YOU don't like them doesn't mean that no one does.

unless you're my husband (which you are not because he is not a close minded troll), i don't care what you think about my body.



p.s. i'd rather a tattoo make me look ugly (which they don't), then my personality (which is what's making you ugly) thank you very much.

I don't know, it doesn't look like art to me, it is defacing to their body. I personally think they look ugly on women and tacky on men.
