That's probably a good thing... I have a feeling we'd be a horrible match anyway.

Nothing is more attractive to me than a woman that has no tattoos, a sign that she has a mind of her own and isnt like thousands of people out there. Just a word of advice to women, most men DISLIKE women who are heavily tattooed, I met a girl once who had like 8, nice personality but I can't understand why someone would do that to her body, and although I hate to stereotype, I have not met many people who were heavily tattooed and were stable, there is always a reason(issue) why people decide to get a lot of tattoos, sorry but that breaks the deal!
What do you consider stable? I have a Master's degree, a professional career, and come from a nice Jewish family... Is that stable enough for ya? And take one guess what I do for a living? I think you'll laugh when you find out. As for emotional stability, I have a few (minor) issues like anyone in the world - tattooed or otherwise. I do feel sorry for you, as you're missing out on some great people with your judgmental & shallow attitude... But that's your prerogative, just as it's mine to get tattoos.
P.S. I didn't get them to impress anyone, especially considering they're not visible in normal clothing. Got my first one at 16, as sort of a sister "bonding experience," and fell in love with the aesthetics of them... I'm a very creative person, so it just appeals to my nature.
Oh yeah... and where I live (San Francisco), it's hard to find somebody without multiple tattoos! So at least around here, your statement that "most men don't like women with tattoos" is highly inaccurate. I've never had a problem finding dates, and not one has been turned off by the ink.

Yeah, I live in SF and don't have any tattoos, and I've met women who were actually surprised or even dejected by the fact that I don't have any. I'm artsy, but I'm also built like a tank, am way into cars, and do my own engine work - on my days off, when I'm wearing jeans and a blue button-down mechanic's shirt, I probably look like I should have my arms covered in sailor jerry tattoos of pistons, connecting rods, Asian chicks with big boobs, stars and some resigned saying ("Born to lose," "Stewed, Screwed, and Tattooed, etc).
I think tattoos are great. The two most attractive women I've dated were both moderately tattooed... and I designed tattoos for them! Twelve friends and/or former lovers have my artwork adorning their bodies, so I'm obviously not opposed to them. I just don't know that I want to commit to having something on my body for the rest of my life.
I think that dating in general kind of sucks: I hate dating, I love being in relationships... unfortunately, the latter generally doesn't exist without former.
OP: You can find plenty of June Cleaver-type women with good traditional morals who would never get a tattoo and are desparately looking for a traditional husband who doesn't show his emotions and would rather she stay put and keep house while you go out and provide the money. May I suggest joining a local conservative Baptist or JW congregation? It will probably suit your desires a lot more than the rest of the modern world, where you're meeting all these modern women you can't stand.

I don't live in San Francisco( Thank God!) and I still do not understand what motivates people to do that to themselves, it must be some kind of unconscious self punishment? I had a roomate that had more than 30 tattoos, everytime he got bored, he would get another one, not a very smart person. Women covered in tatoos lose their femininity not to mention, tattoos are not exactly classy, everytime I go to Wal Mart, I see a lot of tattoed white trash and if you notice, most women who do porn have tattoos, YUCK!

What motivates someone to exert so much effort wangsting about things they hate on an internet forum to thousands of anonymous strangers?

And there's this dude in Iowa who, whenever he gets frustrated at the world around him and how he doesn't fit well in it, goes onto his computer and creates a thread dedicated to how whatever it is that frustrates him is mindbogglingly stupid and then sits and waits to see what sort of responses he gets.

Wal Mart isn't exactly the place to see good tattoo work... there will always be people who get roses on their boobs done by some sketchy scratch artist in their garage. There will also be guys who get barbed wire around their arm to look 'tough'. Then, you look at the women in the post above this with beautiful art work and put them in the same category? Those women probably don't 'show off' their tattoos like people with bad tattoos generally do. I keep mine covered most of the time, unless I'm in a short sleeved shirt which isn't all that often. Sun ruins tattoos, so I keep them covered most of the time.
Do you assume every woman you meet with tattoos is a porn star? That just seems silly.
As nice as some of the tatoo artwork is, I'd rather see it on a canvas than on skin. The posted pics above don't do a thing for me, but that's my preference. Someone with a lot of tatoos probably wouldn't be attracted to me, either. Somehow it all works out, without having to be judgmental that having/not having tatoos "means" something about a person's character.
Repubocrat. I've been around long enough to know that:
1) You are probably looking for gals in the wrong places for what you are looking for. (ie. Bars, Walmart etc. lol)
2) You may have standards that are above your current ability to date.
3) The area you are in or your current attitude towards dating is making it hard for you to find what you are looking for.
With every friend of mine that has had trouble finding a guy or girl it has generally been one or a combination of these. All you can do is work on YOURSELF since you can't change the world and complaining is frankly unattractive.
We both know that there has to be a at least a couple quality gals that would be compatible with you in the area. So, you need to find out how to meet them and how to compete for them because you can bet there will be competition.
Also, figure out what are your must haves and nice to haves in a gal. Don't turn into one of my friends (or some of the girls I know) who have some sort of 100pt. inspection system where they cross someone off at first miss...they are all 40 and single.
Everybody has a long "list" and "dealbreakers." The problem is when you think that your own requirements are reasonable and normal, while other people's lists are demanding and crazy.
