Srg Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Not a massive issue with them, unless they're like on your face or whatever. Although, I do think pointless Chinese symbols and stuff which mean nothing are daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 You get some women that are mingers and some that are stunners, you get some tattoos that are hideous and some that look amazing. I do look around at some women today and think are you not thinking what you will look like when you hit 60 and the wrinkles and sagging set in. Seeing an old man with faded tattoos up his arms is not a rare sight, an old woman is. Maybe we won't batter an eye lid as we have grown up in this generation but they will look horrendous.

Maybe we won't batter an eye lid as we have grown up in this generation but they will look horrendous.They might look horrendous to some. To others (particulaly the owners) tattoos are and always will be part of their own personal history. So to me, there's nothing wrong with a tattoo showing it's age. I think this is more about how a woman is percieved if she changes her skin appearance. How dare she change from the virginal untouched condition that most men think they have a right to see or expect? Can men be put off by the fact that a woman has actually made her own mark on her own skin - that he can't change - or could it be that they might actually be a teeny bit scared by that? It's interesting. But I do realise tattoos are not for everyone..and my dad hasn't seen my new one yet..I'll get one of those looks that come from over the top of his glasses I don't doubt.

It's interesting. Hideous tattoos are just hideous, nothing to do with being virginal and men not being able to change, they are simply hideous tattoos. I feel like someone having to defend themselves from being accused to be racist by saying I have black friends but I've been with women that have tattoos, some were hideous some not. Tattoos are art, everyone has opinions on art, different tastes etc. you're just looking into things too deeply trying to bash the women's right drum when it's really not needed.

ladyram Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 To me that's hideous and distasteful. But to her it's obviously not. That's the difference. Not sure why she's had that done but she must have had her own reasons for doing it. And you are good at always finding the extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what you was doing, claiming we like women to be virginal and not having tattoos we can't change? A statement made without knowing what I class hideous or find attractive on a woman?

ladyram Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 No not statements, I was questioning - but not about you personally. But I'm not getting how skin with no tattoos can be an extreme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 These seem to be popping up a lot now as well, another tattoo trend that to me is hideous.... Like I say tattoos are art, to me the design, preparation and the want to still have it done should take longer than any trend that comes and goes. To me they should be individual, unique, you should be able to say to someone that's a nice tattoo, what's the meaning/story behind it. Not oh I see you jumped on the Chinese symbol bandwagon back in the 00's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think that's why mine take a while to be made real. They have to have meaning and not a passing fashion. Decisions like that can't be rushed. That one ^ not for me either but quite a few women love that design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 To be honest, I have a tattoo that is personal to me, and I don't care if someone else finds it distasteful or ugly. So I understand that argument. But then there was this moral crusade about men always wanting women to be unspoiled and 'untouched' and that's why they dislike women getting tattoos and that quite frankly was so incredibly bizarre. Not only is it untrue but I don't see where you found the evidence to say that. It got to a point where ladyram got so defensive over this that she completely forgot to think about what i-Ram was actually saying. Can we not have a discussion or a debate about anything without someone taking it personally at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
