I find most tats very sexy. I also find them very telling. The ink I have is meaningful and beautiful to me. My body art represents my faith and my family, and those things will still be a part of me when I'm old and wrinkled. I am not a cartoon tatoo girl.

If you have tatoos that you are ashamed of then it shows that you are growing and changing. I hope that you didn't make any more mistakes that will haunt you the rest of your life...

(To the guy w the ink of the demon clawing out of his chest, I say good to know ,and I consider that this may be a theme for him and procede w caution...)

What we are all going to look like all tatooed and pierced in the old folks home... what will they say?

A distate for tattoos isn't "narrow minded." If you've chosen to alter your body in some way, then you should expect a reaction. A tattoo is a form of rebellion against the mainstream, or it was, once.
A distaste is not narrow minded, it is a preference. I did the hair thing too, and that showed me that I needed to keep some aspects of my personality private, in order to negotiate life with those who are narrow minded

I have a tribal design on my right shoulder blade that I had done at 16.....haven't found anything since that I like enough to keep forever. I'm indifferentwhen it comes to dating, but I have to admit I wonder when I see a 'tramp-stamp', especially when its clearly visible fully clothed. I've never been in a relationship with a woman who didn't have at least 1 tattoo somewhere, but I do think it was afad for my age group...tramp-stamps and arm-bands

What is it with the 'Tramp Stamp'? I had never heard of this term until several months ago (Yeah I know, you know you are getting old when...) when I had a conversation about tattoos with a male friend of mine. Now, I do not have a tattoo right now, but it is something I am considering at some future date if I can find a design I wish to have on my body forevermore....... Anyway, I did some research about the 'Tramp Stamp' phenomena after talking to my friend. As far as I can tell, the ONLY reason it is called a 'Tramp Stamp' is because the tattoo is on an area of the female body that is considered sensual and would perhaps cause a man to get all hot and bothered over it...... Personally, I cannot think of a more beautiful or symmetrical area of the female body to get a tattoo than the center lower back area. So, why is it that just because a tattoo is in an area that may cause a man to get all hot and bothered over it, the tattoo is suddenly called a 'Tramp Stamp'? Ladies, rise up and rebel! Do NOT let men control who we are and what we do!

Okay, sorry, I just had to rant for a moment.....

Agree 100%

I have never liked a picture enough to look at it the rest of my life.

Every tattoo I have seen that is older than a few years looks dated and cheesy to me.

It would have to be a pretty amazing and timeless piece of art... and personally I have never seen anything in the form of a tattoo that would meet that criteria.

That's where mine is and I love it. So did my last bf. You know what? If the next guy I date doesn't want to be with me because of it, then maybe he's not as adventurous as I need him to be.

You are in danger of OverAnalyzing again

If he doesn't like it and can't get past it - he is simply not the right Man for you. who cares how adventurous he is...

I have one, got two years ago at age 55. Three words in sanskrit: love,balance,self-reliance on the inside of my left forearm. Got it after a major bout with Post Polio Syndrome ... I call it my to-do list as forgetting to practice self-love and forgetting keeping my life in balance causes me to lose self-reliance and brings me closer to full time wheelchair occupancy.

Several of my girlfriends also have tats, most of the ones closer to my age got theirs for similar reasons such as surviving cancer, rebuilding their lives after divorce or spouses death, graduation from college after going back at the age of 40, etc.

And yes I recognize that at my age I risk turning some males off, but reminding myself that I can take care of myself while dealing with a chronic disease and that I can still be self-reliant was more important to me than making "others" happy .. esp. "others" that I don't even know.

I've been watching the "Caprica" series on SyFy this season, and saw this week that the Taurean service for the dead involved getting tattoos to commemorate your lost loved ones. It was a moving ceremony.
