Dating is being judgmental based on what you find attractive or not... everyone is entitled to that.
Beyond what you find attractive or would consider dating material, treating people in an unequal manner or holding something as superficial as tattoos against them IS being judgmental and certainly a reflection of your own character.
Tattoos are gross and ugly on anyone. I see a person with tattoos and a lower class of people as one and the same.
I kinda feel the same way, but experience has taught me to just avert my eyes, keep my trap shut, and keep walking.
You may be heaped with opprobrium for declaring your view on here, so for the sake of my well being, I'd like to go on record as saying that tattoos are up to the individual, and not my concern.

So, what do you think about nose piercings? Like with a little diamond stud? Have you ever seen this kind of piercing on a woman? What do you think about it?

Just chimin' in.....
I don't have an issue with that but the first time I saw one....
...I wanted to tell her that she had something on her nose.
Graffitti!!! That made me laugh, I feel the same way. A man gets tattoos to look tough, and a woman with a tattoo looks like she's mutilating herself. Same with piercings on both sexes anywhere other than the ear lobe. And men stretching the ear lobe is hideous. Why mutilate the body?
Well, for starters, it's only "mutilating" the body according to those with your particular brand of thought. The rest of us just see it as a form of art that we happen to like. If you don't like them you're free to look elsewhere. It's not that difficult.

Lol. What? Who is "they" here? That doesn't even make sense. What is this supposed to look like? Random stranger diverting their gaze at the sight of someone with tattoos? In what world does this happen? I've lived on the East Coast and West Coast, in many different cities, and never has anyone suggested they were so put off by the mere sight of tattoos. And most grown people don't feel the need to ask random strangers if they want to check out their body art. How is that supposed to play out? Ask the restaurant server or barista if she wants to check out my tree of life and Goddess tattoo? Just for fun?

or take them seriously.
"Seriously" as in...servicemembers aren't taken seriously in their jobs, or the ER physician with a full sleeve isn't trusted to take care of patients, or parents don't trust tattooed educators to teach algebra and trig? Like, what does this even look like? Because someone has tattoos, you can't take them seriously, but in what context? Not knowing the location of the international date line or all fifty state capitals?
I guess one could retort that it's nearly impossible to take anyone seriously who makes baseless assumptions and assertions about anyone based solely on their appearance.
Just so you know, outside the realm of internet randos from bob knows where, I've never had anyone refuse to take me seriously, in any sense or context.

Actually, the last sentence is more like an assertion with no basis.
