Tattoos: turn on or turn off

[lambcom]

I can't help notice that an increasing number of all ages, but especially under 40 are sporting tattoos. I'm not talking here about a discrete little butterfly on the breast or thigh, but the honking big tattoos that cover most of an arm, the back, leg or other part of the anatomy.

Do you first see the tattoo, do you find it a turn on or a turn off. Does it excite you sexually or make you wilt? And why?

Little subtle ones, I like alot.

Big ones... Big nono

 

[B_Uni79]

Not my cup of tea

My side and down my leg is covered and I like to think of it as an improvement

yea it's a turn on

It can not be overkill ether other wise it's a turn off

A small tat in a sexy place is a big turn on for me.

I find it's the person sporting the tattoo that makes them attractive or not. Some people suit tattoos, others do not. Same applies to piercings and other bodily modification.

having tattoos and piercings, i tend to like others but not all. and sexually it's not a turn on at all...same for piercings

 

[D_Melvern Nutter]

Depends on the tattoos.

Ahhh, but it isn't you, it is the people who see you.

Huge turnoff for me. Ruin beautiful skin and body with ink.

Ruin beautiful skin and body with ink.

My feelings exactly!!

It depends on the person. Sometimes I think they are really hot and sometimes I don't like them that much. I really like some of the tribal tats. I have a tat, I've just never shown it on here.

I'm a tat fan...but it needs to fit a person's body and personality. The corilation is what makes it hot.

 

[irox19]

For me it depends on the person and their personality. If it's something cheesy like barb wire on the arm...that is just cheesy.

I have a small flower on the small of my back. Was going to get it removed, but now I want to expand it and have an explosion of flowers curve up my back or along my spine, haven't decided. I hope people find this hot.

I don't like tribal tattoos at all. I also don't like small tattoos either, though that one is much closer to indifferent. I also don't like the lower back tattoo aka the "tramp stamp", stupid name for it. Face tattoos are a no, I just enjoy a woman's face too much for that.

But I do like tattoos, but in order for me to like them, they have to be art. A small tattoo can be artful, but for the full effect I like them to be big, or to weave a tapestry. If it is art, it is a turn on for me. If it's just a tattoo, I wont really like it. Though it's not a deal breaker by any means.

You said it best....art...or like a woven tapestry. That's exactly what I am going for.

What kind of flower do you have on your lower back? I hope you do expand it, if done right it could look amazing. Right now I'm imagining it as a sunflower, then more crawling up your back with nice greens and more yellows, etc. :tongue:

I'm not really a big fan of tattoos. If they are small and tasteful in a discreet location then I have no problem with it. It seems to often be associated with people with no education. I work with a lot of people who are in all the different branches of the military. I was in the military so it's no surprise to see some tattoos, but these tattoos the kids are wearing now days are huge and exposed. I haven't kept up with all the rules and regulations on how big and wear the tattoos can go, or what you can and can't have before you go to Basic training. The men and the women both have these huge tattoos on their necks arms and everywhere. I'm sure their leaders were pleased to see that.
I was at the dentist office and saw what I guess would be called a 3-D tattoo. This guy had bought his child into the dentist office and was sitting in the waiting room. He had a tatoo of a snake on his forearm. Then he had some kind of body mortification under his skin that replicated the outline of the snake. I guess that's what you call an interesting conversation piece.

It is a daisy of sorts (typical lower back tattoo at 18 to piss off my parents)....yes...I want to expand it and have it wind up in a delicate way with a few large flowers (like dahlias/gardenias) and have little explosions of other flowers...i don't want a ton of green and yellow...more of a burst of flowers rather than a vine...sort of like controlled chaos. But I also want to incorporate some stars, and a few other symbols/shapes/I like. I sort of want somewhere on there my eye...lol my own eye, somewhere in the midst of the flower bomb. Sounds like a mess right?

This is exactly what my parents used to say...that it was trashy and for people who were in prison or uneducated. Oh well...I am getting my master's, so I think I've earned it. lol What I plan to do soon is just a way to express myself...and I am doing my back because I do not want something visible on a daily basis. Anyway, so my parents are now obsessed with Kat Von D on LA Ink. Go figure.
