i-Ram Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I do understand that tattoos are a very personal thing. I find them very unattractive on the feminine form, but I have been down that path before on this forum and I am not keen to go there again. In respect of tattoos for men, there are many reasons for having them. I understand those who might have them for personal reasons like "mum" and kids names, and allegiances to clubs or organisations. I can also understand those who have them to make themselves look "hard" or find themselves coerced to have them out of peer pressure. I am less sure of what the motivation is to have "beautification" tattoos as my own view is that whilst they might appeal to a certain type of woman, they will appeal much much more to other men of the penis persuasion. Beckham for instance, has I am sure very many more gay men (%) appreciators of his body than straight females (%). It's my view, and perhaps wrong. But hey ho.

Cisse Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Most of the gays I know don't have any tattoos and I'm pretty sure they don't fancy Beckham because he has tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may take on board your recommendations Tombo, but given a) I have imbibed a bottle of Sauvignon already today, and b) much of the Forum today is given over to tosh opinion, I think on this occasion, a bit like the mighty Paul Heaton and the Beautiful South, I will carry on regardless.

Angry Ram Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Why an eagle anyway ? You could have had a picture of Daveo. Would have had to have been a BALD eagle then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notts_ram Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You've also left out swallow tattoos on ex con's and love hate on knuckles for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Your 18-25 year old women seem to love tattoos (and beards) these days, not much hope for us clean shaven, tattoo-less blokes. By and large i find tattoos unattractive and pointless, some i can appreciate but most look ***** in my eyes. I always used to find tattoos on females to be a massive turn off but i'm currently crushing on a girl with a cool swallow tattoo at the moment. Fairplay to people that get them mind, their body and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not overly confident of getting to a point where any kind of swallow is involved. Now where's that glass half empty thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'd only have a tattoo if it gave me some sort of scientific superpower, by which I mean contained circuits/chemicals/supergenes that gave me lots of money or superhuman abilities. Such things are probably coming down the line, but for now I'll laugh at this particular gump who's gone for a particularly fetching Adolf Physco: http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42954 As tats go, in comparison Chris's is utterly fabulous.

Day Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 People that dislike tattoos are jealous as they are not man enough to go through the pain of having one, they look on with green eyes at the mini Beckhams walking the streets holding hands with the size 8 blondes they can only dream about or watch on [Censored by Google] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Tattoos can look good on heavy metal guitarists, sons of anarchy, wrestlers, soldiers, starship troopers and ufc fighters. Apart from that I'm not so keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 If you're not at work or surrounded by children, and able to view in private, do a google search on Bonnie Rotten and then Blackwidow Jody. Blackwidow Jody has a very interesting spider's web tattoo, in fact, if memory serves, so has Bonnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ. That is awful. I'm happy for anyone to get any tattoo they like, it's their choice, but at least pay and wait for someone decent to do it. I wonder if the artist looked at it after and thought "God, I've done a great job there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Pretty simple really. If you want one, get one. If you don't, don't. I have 3 now, no plans to have any more at present but never say never, it just has to be something very personal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
