I see more and more women with tattoos now.
Which is fantastic
I see more and more women with tattoos now.
On women I find them a real turn-off (same with piercings)
Generally I'm not a fan, but I've seen one I really like and am thinking of doing the same: One of my mates has the names and birth dates of his kids, fairly small, easily covered, right on the top of his shoulder blade just over his shoulder. Looks class.
It all depends on the design and execution. I hang around with a lot of Burlesque types and some of their tattoos are amazing and enhance the lifestyle as oppose to some council estate slapper with Chinese writing all over her which just looks cheap and nasty.
My take on it is that nobody, absolutely nobody has the same taste and style at 50 that they had when they were 18. Most people on here will have been into something when they were young; punk, mod, skinhead, goth, heavy metal, casual, etc.and we can all look back on the photos and have a chuckle. Over the years we've changed the clothes and the hairstyle to match the stage we are at in our lives, because we have changed and the image we want to project has changed. However, today's hipster with finger-tip to toe body-art, or the gym-bunny with his tribal markings are going to be stuck with it for life. I cannot believe that the mid-20s hipster bloke who served me in M&S at Brighton station with symbols tattooed all over his hands is going to have the same taste in 30 year's time. Particularly when they have all gone smudgy and blurred.
You could have just typed " tattoos look better on middle class people" and saved valuable time
I think there is a lot of pressure to make a statement and "Be Different " these days
