Why do some women ruin their looks with tattoos?

[Anonymous]

I think tattoos can be art if the tattoo artist is good. A tattoo on someone could look good. Full sleeves, multiple tattoos, tattoos on necks and faces are too much, IMO. Too much of a thing isn't a good thing typically.

I don't have any tattoos and neither does DH. I hope my kids don't get any tattoos but, if they do, I hope they can be easily covered if needed.

Tattoos used to be a class signifier in women. The amount of tattoos and education were inversely proportional. No longer true, but the assumptions remain.

Not just women. Tattoos were prevalent on sailors, enlisted soldiers, tradesmen and prisoners.

That was long ago, hon. In the 21st century, tech workers are just as likely to have tats as sailors.

It's body art, OP.

How is it body art? What makes it art?

If they believe it to be art, it is art. Nothing to do with you, you hateful old fuddy-duddy.

You do know that's not how it works, right?

That’s exactly how it works.

Maybe she’s trying to appeal to a certain guy but IMO tattoos are almost never a positive on a woman, at best it’s something you can put up with but it never enhances someone’s looks. It’s an inherently masculine look.

oh no, stodgy old white women won't want to date meeeeeeeeeeee

Unlike fashion or trendy clothes, the problem with tattoos is that they are permanent.

I do agree with the OP that women ruin their natural beauty and looks with tattoos.

100% agree. Classy women never, ever would do tattoos.

I agree. Every single person I know with a tattoo has some insecurities about who they are.

Have many tattoos and no emotional issues. I'm a lawyer, a parent, and generally a pretty healthy person.

I think people that are judgmental usually have mental illness.

Also weeds you out of job opportunities and advancement. Lose.

Right. Just too much detail in the Sistine Chapel. Totally would have been more tasteful if it was just the hands. Why did we need to see all of God and the Heavens?

Also, why the ceiling? Would have been much better to put it lower on a wall, where it could be hidden behind some furniture if they wanted

She's young and has a beautiful body. The tattoos don't make or break her.

Someday she will look like this, though:

Okay hear me out: maybe, just maybe, what makes her body no longer "young and beautiful" isn't the tattoo but the natural process of aging she has gone through? I dunno, just a theory!

Insecurities and lack of self respect.

This always cracks me up. She's gonna look that way regardless.

We're all going to be old and saggy, eventually. Who cares if there is art on that old and saggy skin; either way, its old and saggy skin

In my experience, people who feel entitled to an opinion on my tattoo (or my hair, or my clothes, or my makeup) have control issues. Like if you are walking around looking at people and thinking "if they would just do what I want them to do with their bodies, they would look more pleasing to me" then you're already in a weird headspace.

If someone is not attracted to my tattoo, that is okay too. I am not attracted to everyone either! Funny how that works.

Bingo!

Women with tattoos do not care what OP or anyone think about them.

The epitome of short-term thinking.
