So I was watching LA Ink tonight and a guy came into the shop to get a tattoo of his dead ex-girlfriend on his chest

Even if you're into tattoos would you want to date someone who had an ex's face/name on their body, even if that person is now deceased?

I wouldn't - it would give me the creeps I think. Not to mention I could never feel like I was a number one priority in his life if he's still obsessed over a former love and shows it by permanently inking her face on his chest

Oh, yeah. I knew a gal who was dating a guy who killed himself. She had his name tattooed across her shoulder blade. Years later, when she met the guy she got married to, she had to ink over the name with some weird dolphin ... which looks really weird because you can tell that it was created to disguise the old tattoo.

I'd find that extremely off-putting, personally.

Some people look at it differently, but that would not be something I would find attractive or interesting.

I get creeped out by people who do stick-on memorials on their pickup truck windows.

Tattoos are ghetto, no matter what they refer to

Tattoos alone are a big turnoff.

I was watching Baggage the other day, and the contestant had two women to choose from. One refused to use any kind of birth control...and wanted a family right away. The other had 21 tattoos and eventually wanted to be covered with them.

My thoughts? "Tough choice--I don't like either one of them."

I really was hoping this thread would stay on topic and not disintegrate into another general tattoo bashing thread. I guess that was a bit much to hope for with this crowd

Yeah yeah some of you don't like tattoos in any form, I got it.

For those of you who generally don't have a problem with a tattoo or two, would you mind seeing the dead girlfriend every time your new boyfriend takes his shirt off? Guys, if you find women with tattoos kind of sexy, what if that tattoo of "frankie" on her ankle is the name of her high school boyfriend who got killed in Iraq?

Turn off. I'd wonder if they're someone who doesn't think things through very well and bases decions on sheer emotion--thus, the ones who have to tattoo over them down the road.

Plus, I would feel I was being evaluated all the time to see if I measurre up to the one being memorialized.
