Of course in 1983 hardly anyone had tattoos except the scariest elements of society.

I have never once (except for this 1983 ad) seen a woman say she doesn't like tattoos. There is not a diversity of thoughts on this subject, it's all one sided and everyone thinks exactly the same.

So I would like to know is there even one woman left who is turned off by tattoos, considers them a dealbreaker etc. If you think tattoos are hot reply if you wish but I have seen your thoughts expressed millions of times, they are as typical as can be. I would be much more interested in hearing from women whodon't like them, consider them a turn off etc...if such a woman exists.
Just look at some tattoo magazines and tell me if women like tattoos or not. I see super hot women with tattoos everywhere

I like tattoos but if your body is really that great, Ink is just going to take away from that. For us Mortals with average bodies I say Tattoo away.

I like tattoos as long as they are not violent or obscene. Even then, as long as I don't have to look directly at them, I'm fine.

Personally I don't like them. They are taboo in my culture (I'm Jewish) and I think a guy with full sleeves looks kind of...well...unattractive. I've dated guys with tattoos before but they were small and easily hidden by clothing. That's not a big deal.

That's cool, if you find some guys with full sleeves (especially done in the old school style) feel free to send them over to me

I think Colin Kaepernick looks way better with tattoos than he would without them

Well, I was just thinking that a bicep tattoo could look cool on a guy with impressive muscles, but it doesn't have the same effect on a guy with an average or less than average body, in my opinion.

I love GOOD tattoos. On men and on women.

That said, my husband doesn't have any. My ex did. I've dated men with and men without. I tend to go for the person, tattooed or not.

if you had tats you wouldn't ask this question

there are *tons* of people who prefer no ink. some are obnoxiously vocal about it

if you don't believe me, get a visible temporary tattoo and try a speed dating session. chances are several gals will subtly let you know it's not their style (fair enough) and at least one will let you know how poor your life choices were (gag me)
