How old are they, are they married, can you not conceive that a person can be repelled by a huge tattoo which will cause said person to remain WITHOUT a significant other for a longer time than if she did not. Can you not conceive that if she wants children, this will curtail the chances of her reproducing.

+1000. I want another tatoo. I'm an executive, lawyer, triathlete and cute as shit at 46. I judge fat ugly people all the time. |
I can conceive it, but I don't agree with the idea, because the whole idea is ludicrous to me. It can be bad art, because tattoos are an art for to those that make and receive them, but it's not a reflection of who someone is, just like my shoes aren't who I am. You may think these things, and I cannot control what you believe, but I don't. The three women I'm thinking of are all late 20's. One is engaged and will probably have a child eventually. Her fiancée is a wonderful man and they've been together a long time. Her childhood was wonderful, she holds a master's degree , makes music that is highly reviewed, teaches and gives art lectures. She has many tattoos. Another is single but in a long time relationship that's going well. She's a musician and was voted one of the most beautiful women in rock music once. She doesn't want children. And another is a highly accomplished artist that is single. Her art is her life and her reason for breathing, not getting married and having kids. Our society is in no danger of not reproducing- we breed like viruses. We need more women like this that will suffer no fools. Many men love women for who we are and won't judge based on some tattoo. |
A tattoo is a permeant mark on your skin - who you are. OMG you are really thick. |
I didn't insult you. And I'm not thick. I'm just not superficial. And I know tons of successful, happy people with tattoos, children and love. Sorry you don't. Expand your world. |
You are thick. You are incapable (or refusing) that most people want marriages and children and tattoos can repel suitors who can make that happen. I know plenty of people who are happy, have children and love who do not have tattoos. Side comment - if you aren't superficial then why are you interested in having a permeant design on your body? |

I know people who are non tattooed, happily married and have children. I know people with tattoos that are, also. I know couples where one is tatted and one is not, and happy. It's simply a generalization from your limited world view. I also know a gay man in a gay marriage who is an executive at a major company, who is an extremely happy life. His partner has no ink. I'm not thick because I have a life that encompasses many kinds of people, in many different lives. Your opinion is not mine. I'm not going to call you names because I accept your view. It's not what I see, in my life. I have one tattoo. I got it at 45. It was a spiritual choice and isn't viable unless I'm in a swimsuit or naked. I had it all done at once, six hours, and it was painful. It was the start of a huge new part of my life. Not in the slightest superficial. Are you aware of body ink being used for these purposes since the beginning of time. |
Wouldn't the doc at the emergency room see your tattoo? |

Who uses the term "suitor"?
I'm sure the hot chic with the big tattoo will be just fine. |
You're talking to at least two people here--me and another like-minded person--so there are at least a couple of us on this thread who are "thick" and superficial. I'm amazed that you call us "incapable [of believing?] that most people want marriages and children," while you seem to be incapable of understanding the flip side of that statement. There are certainly people who aren't interested in getting married or having children (eg: my very attractive brother who is a successful songwriter and has multiple tattoos), as well as people who just LIKE tattoos and wouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't like them. Different people find different things attractive, right? Then why wouldn't it follow that some people find tattoos beautiful, either on themselves or others? I'm a 35-year-old SAHM who freelances in a creative field, and I have three tattoos (soon to be four). Right now in the midwestern preschool co-op of which we're members, I know at least four moms with visible tattoos on their arms. They are wonderful parents who love to do creative things with their children, and have differing opinions on things like screen time, GMOs, etc, like many non-tattooed people. Their tattoos did not stop them from getting married, having children, and being wonderful people, just like mine didn't stop me from doing the same. TL;DR: people are different. It's cool. |
So if it's nbd, whyyyyyyy keep doing it?
|
I think it's easy to see who's the dense one here
PP with tattoos, I'm the 49 year old mom with all the creative friends. I think we could be friends if we knew each other!

OMG. Lighten the hell up. You're proving that tattoo haters are uptight killjoys. |
| I've noticed that the tattoo haters have been pretty insulting, throwing around words like trashy (I am far from trashy, tyvm), while for the most part, tattoo fans have been pretty nice. People with tattoos don't care if anyone else has one. Live and let live. |
