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.

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

But hair is easily changed. Tattoos are forever.

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.


+1. People may not say anything to your face but they absolutely think this.

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?

I've seen more heavy women with awful tatts. Most always on the ankle or thigh.

I agree with this.
But then you have to stoop to PP's level and throw in some ageism.

Why do people discredit themselves like this?

This is all that needs to be said.
I don’t like them and am not planning on getting one, but different people are different. DCUMers seem to have a really hard time accepting that people are not all the same.

My adult daughter in her 40s has about five tattoos. She likes to design them herself and they are pretty much beautiful. I would never get a tattoo myself but I respect her decision for herself and can appreciate the nice art. The only thing I might question (not out loud ever) is how much she spends to get these tattoos but that too is her decision so I say nothing about it.

My son who is older than my daughter has zero tattoos. Funny thing is, in our family we simply don't get all judgmental about stuff like that. To each his own.

I am somewhat baffled by the tattooing on some people, like for instance Justin Bieber. That kind of blows my mind.



Whaaaaat??

It's fine when they are younger. However, I wish I could introduce them to my grandfather. He got a TON of tattoos all over his arms and chest, and even his neck, when he was serving in WWII. They did not look great when he was 70, that is for sure.

I know! Everyone looks better with brown hair but there are all these poor misguided women who are purposefully making themselves unattractive by dyeing their hair blonde or red.
