How many tattoos do you have? Do you think tattoos look sleazy on women?

Tattoed and employed

It made me laugh because all I could think about was "But where are you employed?" and the fact that you have to defend yourself speaks volumes.

Big law partner, just nothing visible in a suit

Veterinarian, just nothing visible in a lab coat.

No tats here. I know several people who have very attractive tattoos, you can not see them when they are regular work clothes.

Sadly, I have one friend who has completely tatted herself up--legs, arms, chest, etc.. She is in her fifties now and can not find a job.

I'm a pagan and proud of it. My tattoo was a spiritual ritual.
The only loser club is populated by those who give a shit about how someone looks.

being a pagan is sleazy too.

I think preppy Tory Birch & Lily Pulitzer types are tacky, trashy, and ugly as hell - but if you like it, you like it - different strokes for different folks. It doesn't mean I make judgments about your character.

I'm an employer. I don't hire anyone with visible tattoos and my staff knows how I feel. If they have one, I expect them to keep it covered whenever working. Tattoos are very unprofessional.

Tattoos are a form of reverse virtue-signalling among the lower-middle and working classes. They are what they are.

I would not insult your faith, or lack of. Your beliefs and your body are your business, as long as you hurt no one.
You think it's totally ok to insult me. You are the one with issues.
My ability to meditate and ground myself in stressful situations , along with my love of nature, is not sleezy, nor is my one hidden tattoo. I guarantee I have a more fulfilling life than yours.
So many classists on this site.

Zero. When I was young I thought they were boarder line trashy, hard to pull off in a classy dress with tattoos and definitely not pretty on aging stretched out skin.

Trust me, most people with tattoos--self included--are not getting them because of how "pretty" they look or will look on "aging stretched out skin." The obsession with beauty and signals of SES can be left to the many unhappy PPs commenting here.

You obviously don't know the same middle- and upper-middle class people that I do. Lots of folks in my social circle have tattoos, mostly artists and educators. It hasn't held us back in employment, social enjoyment, or earnings.

Lots of medical/hospital employees have them.

Yep, that's my point. You can't tell someone's SES or level of education by whether or not they have a tattoo. You just can't.

I don't judge people who have them, I just don't understand the appeal. I have never seen one that I didn't think marred an otherwise perfectly well created body.
