Tattoos are so f***ing ugly

No worries.

My point stands, though--that I'm not the one who made it a gender thing. Guys make it a gender thing by telling women tattoos make women look "ugly" and "masculine".

FINALLY!! !! SOMEONE ELSE WHO FEELS THE SAME WAY ABOUT TATTOOS!! !! !

Man, I'll be so glad when the stupid hipster trend finally dies 10 years from now... With their annoying tattoos, fake vintage 80's clothes from local department stores, skinny clothes, neon running shoes, old-fashioned quiff fades, terrorist beards, and geek outfits. These people look lame and stupid. Sometime in the 2020's we might hopefully return to a basic, baggy style.

I wasn't aware that the baggy style had gone anywhere.

Yes your point stands and guys shouldn't say that. Tattoos aren't feminine or masculine. I've seen equal numbers of them on guys and girls.

It's very silly, to gender tattoos. My half sleeve is a very colourful design of autumn leaves changing colour (maple and oak, done in reds and golds and greens) over a dappled blue-purple background--so although it's a tattoo and by nature what some would call "masculine" just for being a tattoo, the design itself is organic, vibrant, and even what some might call "feminine".

What I don't understand is the need to categorise and label things very black-and-white, the binary simplified dualistic thinking behind claims like "all tattoos are hideous just for being tattoos"--it just often seems like an excuse to dismiss things that are different that one doesn't want to understand. Gender is one of the ways people apply that kind of binary thinking to things, but it's not the only way. Things are either 100% good or 100% bad, and there is no in between. I think it limits people, and it limits discussion.

Just wanted to say that if a guy feels that tattoos make women look masculine then it's his business and there's nothing wrong with it, as long as he doesn't force his views on other people.

Tattoos are gross, not far from now you're going to see a ton of grandmothers with tattoos, and that is going to be a depressing sight to see.

Nothing sadder than old people with tattoos.

I don't like the idea of a Tatoo on my own skin. I tend to be tolerant with the Tatoos on other people but I must confess they always cause a bit of ache in my stomach. There's literally a physical discomfort. Anyway since tatoos are all that so commonly widespread I try to pretend they aren't there specially if they're on a girlfriend. Some of my ex's had tatoos.

It all becomes a little more complex when I realise some tatoos "look right" on some people. Nevertheless even for those people time will take its toll. Tatoos don't stay perfect forever and so won't people. Besides, I've met many people that regret doing at least one of their tatoos.

There's this thought that occurred to me more than once: since I'm no Chris Hemsworth anyway, I should take the opportunity to recreate my image completely like... I mean mad big tatoos, long beard and so on. Just a thought.

I'm quite proud of my tattoos. They are all custom works of art meant to be an expression of myself. Also, my wife and I don't like wearing rings so we got our wedding bands tattooed on.

I had to LOL at all the judgmental people in this thread calling them all 100% gross, ugly, gendered and stupid and then claiming they aren't being judgmental. No self-awareness whatsoever. Typical of this forum, sadly.

This is part of the reason so many of you struggle romantically. People here only seem to be looking for an echo chamber to reinforce their stringent opinions rather than actually improve their attitudes.

Being a judgmental jerk is way more unattractive than being socially awkward, kiddos.

To alot of people tattoos are more than 'fashion', they are art, they are expression, they are memories. You don't have to find them attractive or like how they look but calling them 'f*****g ugly' is very disrespectful.

Admittedly there are some bad tattoos out the but there are also very beautiful ones

Why can't people just let others live their lives how they want without being rude about it

TRUTH BOMB!

Tattoos are f**ing SEXY so long as they're the right kind for her and she doesn't have 'too' many (too many being like whole back, whole arm, whole neck tats, tats around her privates, etc.)

Not really into tattoos on a girls face but a subtle one or three sounds fine by me if they fit her well. When I say suit her i mean she chose it for herself/it has great meaning to her or even reminds me of an aspect of her character that she of course got before meeting me. Otherwise, small subtle tattoos like words or small icons and images all down her back, stomach/waist, arms and maybe legs?

Hell yes!

Love Christina Perri's tattoos.

Yes, both men.and women can look ugly with th m but I take little notice and won't shove it down anyone's throat.

Smart teenager.

I disagree. If done right, it can look very f***ing sexy!
