Tattoos..are they sexy?? Options

[madmods]

I would stay away from tatoos on the hands/knuckles, face and neck. Alot of people who do the hiring are not very hip to them. You will get passed up on jobs in the future. Alot of my girlfriends in the past has had them. My current girl has 3. I personally don't like tatoos on women. Seems like every chick in AZ has one on her lower back. If your going to do it, hide it. Think when your wearin that dress and you have a large tattoo on your back. they don't go hand to hand.

one of my friends just got 3 cross on her lower back, i think it's okay.... but to me, they're far too big. you would just never ever see me with one.

i love mine cause it's tiny, idk about sexy but i think its cute

I have a few now... and plan to get a half sleeve soon.

Is a "half sleeve" where half your entire arm is covered in a tattoo? What are you going to do when you go for an interview for a teaching position when it is hot in Florida?

Many of my fraternity brothers got them back in college and are professionals now and regret it. I think some tattoos look good for certain situations. For example, I like the barbed wire tattoo that Pamela Anderson has. I also think that tattoos that are generally hidden most of the time (like small discrete ones under the belt line) can look good on girls. However, I would not recommend anything that could not easily be concealled in important situations. Many people think they are trashy and, no matter what you think of those people, there is no benefit in sending that signal when you don't want to.

K. I get that a lot. Many of my teachers in high school had tattoos. One even had 2 full sleeves. And I went to the #7 school in America. It's not as big of deal as it used to be. People are finally accepting them.

BTW: I am a part time teacher now, and NO ONE has ever judged me for it. I had my tattoos when I got the job, and they were showing. I actually get tons of compliments on it, and my kindergarten kids love it.

NASTY

[BlackCelicaGT94]

every summer i think about getting one but then i realize i dont know what the future holds for me. Id like to think i will marry a business man who goes to a lot of formal dinners at country clubs so I dont wanna think that one day I may wear a backless armani dress and then id have some hideous BULLS EYE on my lower back to try cover. I also am not one for pain and i witnessed my friend get her first one on her lower back and she was in tears the whole time.

I really don't understand why some people are so judgemental.. and really have the audacity to say that getting a tattoo is nasty.
But I guess that means I'm nasty.

Question: Is that why people think I'm ugly on here now? Honestly. Is this site that judgemental?

Jen dont worry no one thinks ur ugly - silly girl!!

[redtcel]

i have a large tribal scorpion on my left shoulder blade. no one would ever see it if i was working.. unless my shirt was transparent. i havent worked any where that allows tank tops at work so another way of it never being seen at work. i personally think anything below the neck line and above the elbows is fine, because most of the work environments (for men) require that you at least wear a short sleeved shirt. some times collard some times not. but yeah if you want to stay profssional and still have your tattoo's general rule of thumb is about the elbows below the neck line PEACE

Tattoo on the lower back. Might as well be a bullseye.

[Verde97]

I have three. Writing on my left ankle, Honor Courage Commitment (nobody ever sees this one), a cross on my back, and USMC in old english and a bald eagle with tribal designs on my right arm. I hardly ever notice them, I usually forget that I have them. I love all of them though.

I was worried about getting my career started because of the one on my right arm because it comes down to almost my elbow, but they are so popular nowadays that they are acceptable. In my career, tattoos are normally NOT allowed at all. But, I got through.

[CheesyLobster]

IMO most tatoos are trashy...

[Clyde]

a tatoo on a lady can be sexy, but not always. You'll never see one on me.

I honestly don't see the appeal of them, but to each his/her own. Just be aware of the risks.

Agreed, tattoos can be sexy on younger women, but wait till they get old. Thatd be wrong..lol
Anyway, hot young women dont need tattoos to be hot... IMO

[johnsonius_87]

Tattoos that can be hidden- upper arm & back- are okay on guys, but it depends on the tat. I dont really like them though. I think they're kinda trashy on girls, but thats just my opinion (lower back is okay though, i guess). I personally will never have one. When your young they're cool, but not so much when you get older.

[Celica_Fan]

I think chicks that get tatoo's to try to look cool are scummy and tryhards I don't like any chicks with tatoo's.

Much sarcasim on the kids part.

[Batman722]

noting excessive but, I love a broad with a few tatoos, piercings, accessories, you dig ?

sexy

[Ethnykceli]

i love girls with tattoos!

[Einhander]

Honestly, If your getting tattoo's for sex appeal you're getting them for the wrong reasons. I am heavily tattooed, From the neck down, But my 1 inch lobes get more reactions than any of my tattoos.

[Valo666]

any ways, i decided on what im gettin. Im gonna get this(but with the heartagram goin the right way) down my right calf.


and im gonna get this on my shoulder wrapping around up over my collar bone


and just for fun, add from the place im gettin my tattoos done..
