Tattooed women outnumber tattooed men

[AntiTrace]

Nothing has changed.



And chicks with ink can be hot, or they can look like trash. Chicks without ink can be hot, or they can look like trash.
And guys with tattoos aren't necessarily masculine, but you find a lot more masculine guys with ink than you do without.
And when I hear a guy say something along the lines "I would never a get a tattoo because blah blah blah" I can be 99% sure hes a feminine bitch.

I feel the same way about tattoos on girls as I do mayonnaise on a sandwich: I prefer there be none at all, but I can deal with a tiny little bit.

So much hate on this thread. Tattoos have a rich tradition dating back thousands of years. The idea that having a tattoo alone makes a woman less feminine, to me, is ridiculous. Perhaps it is because I have a lot of female friends who have tattoos/are tattoo artists that I don't find it to make them masculine.

If you want to rail against BAD/trashy tattoos, by all means, do that. Don't just throw that lot in with others who have intricate, beautiful tattoos that only serve to enhance their looks and gives you a window into what they find important.

Tattoos ruin broads. When they aren't discrete/hidden (surprise factor) or impeccably done/on some tribal cultural things it does little to "enhance" a woman. Tattoos age women and make them look low rent. Period. Anybody that can remember broads without ink can attest how much better they all looked.

This ink trend is on foolish levels. Nobody wants to admit it's a deep and dirty fad.

I can't wait till the next generation of women trolls this crop and goes for compete bare and clean skin, and then almost overnight you will be able to spot the old played out women like a puck on the ice.

Serious question for the men abroad. How is ink in other countries ? Is it creeping up, or is it like in the North America, or non-existent?

In Poland (as we are very americanized) it's really getting ugly. At least in big cities

Ukraine (or at least Lviv) seems fortunately almost free of this plague. Girls in majority even arent interested or can't afford it. It's mostly chicks doing arts having an interest to get one (or more) here,

That is your opinion, of course.

If you notice, I said the exact same thing, I don't like a woman with bad tattoos.

As to whether this is a fad, I think you'll be disappointed. Tattooed women have been associated with feminist causes, and feminism is only getting started.

To give some background I have two tattoos, so this might be why I'm not concerned with them on women.

 

[Vicious]

I can't find the source now but in the demography 18-30 in NA more than 50% has one or more tattoos.

Normal people are a minority.

This generation will look horrible once it hits 60. Imagine what a sleeve looks like on old wrinkled skin.

 

[Foolsgo1d]

Tattoos were never some vain vanity item in the ancient era, they symbolised tribes, religion, your nation and in the cases of women, the male ownership of them.

These days you have douchenozzels with tribal tattoos and women with tramp stamps, or those stupid thorn-like tattoos around their wrist or ankles. So what tribe are they from? WHo owns them?

Nobody. They seem to "look good" for the hell of it and fuck the consequences. The people who should be getting tatts are the people who are least influenced by the MSN.

- Prisoners
- Gangbangers
- Bikers


EDIT; I will be laughing my ass off come the time when these young women and men are wailing about how shit their tatts look in a couple of decades.

Anybody else is just striving to be "Individual" but becoming just like every other sheep.

 

[Big Country]

I can see that I'm in the minority on this forum, and that's alright by me.

As to the ancient tattoos being representative of the clan/tribe, you can look at the western modern world as being tribe-less. So people choose to do it of their own accord and in essence make their own tribe.

I got my first tattoo to remember coming out of a dark place in my life, and the second is a reflection of how I believe the universe works. They aren't for anyone but myself, the one on my forearm faces me, not the world. Many people choose to get tattooed for similar reasons, and just as many choose to get tattooed because it's cool to them. Either way, it isn't/shouldn't be a concern for anyone.

Also, taking glee in the idea of someone regretting a life choice is pretty low.

In Brazil, they are everywhere. In Sao Paulo and Rio of course. But even in Nowheresville, towns of a few thousand, there is ink on the inner arm, chest, upper/lower back, ankle. Anywhere visible. For what's the point of a status symbol if no one can see it??

(On a side note, the girls-staring-at-smart-phones routine has made their way to the tiny towns too. Places where an unlocked phone costs the same as 3 months' rent...how do they afford that?)

 

[whatday]

Tattoos on both men and women are major red flags for me.

I wouldn't hire someone with visible tattoos.

and this is why I have worn long sleeves from the interview to at least through my first two performance reviews in past jobs. Once I've established a good rep the short sleeves and tattoos come out!!

You might be shooting yourself in the foot as far as promotion to upper management, depending on your industry. Many people still see tattoos in a negative light, and those people are heavily concentrated in older age brackets and in "conservative" industries like banking/finance. If you're a career-ladder type, I hope your CEO, upper management, and HR are all young and that you don't work in a conservative industry, because otherwise, fairly or not, you're raising all kinds of red flags (example, "this guy doesn't think of the long term consequences of his actions") with those tattoos in many of their minds. If you fall under that category, these folks exert power over your advancement in life, so you'd want to keep hiding them or remove them. If you work in a more "liberal" industry, then this is much less of an issue. Good luck, though.

There is no good reason to get a tattoo in my opinion, or nothing that significant that you need to ink it on your skin.

If there is something that means that much to you, compartmentalize it and use it to motivate you.

I don't even like seeing tattoos in honor of friends or family that you might have lost. Religious tattoos are the worst.

If that stuff meant anything to you it would be in your heart everyday. You don't need a tattoo to remember it. The only reason you get that tattooed is so everyone else can see that you are religious or that your dog died.

The worst example I saw was when I knew a gorgeous 19 year old who got a religious tattoo after she tore her ACL because her cunt roommate (who has a bunch of stupid tattoos) pressured her into it on impulse. She never would have gotten it otherwise, and that sucks because she was a natural beauty.

In my mind that's just a reflection of the bigger problem. There are too many temptations available to women, but they lack the impulse control to stay away.

Decades? These tattoos will all start looking like shit when this women hit 30 and the skin starts to fray and sag, once they pop out little spawns it's game over. Literally a ticking time bomb for them.

It's all hamster. Look how these women pose in their Instagram photos. That goofy little arm pose where they angle it where the ink has to be shown is extremely tacky. It's no different then a new dog or a engagement ring photo. A new tattoo offers women a reason to attention whore and bait for attention. See how eager any girl is to show her new tat, and see how other women are just as eager to laud her on it and say empty stuff to saw how good the art is.

Like these things will be hula hoops and Pokemon cards in due time. Once you get some loser on CNN or MSNBC News all tatted up hosting a show it will be rock bottom for a already in crisis fad.

If people were honest about it and stay true to the "I don't give a fuck" attitude and just admit it's a sweeping trend I wouldn't mind it. But the inability for people to openly say it when the majority of people have them is telling of their own insecurities which led them to trend hop in the first place (not all of course, but the majority).

Worst tattoo I've seen this week is some broad had her star sign tatted. She was a Aries or a Taurus, I forget and it was poorly done and looked like she had Fallopian Tubes doodled on her side. I trolled her and said that she looked like a sketch in the science books in the chapter everybody glanced at when nobody was looking. She was offended but I told her that what it looked like strait up. Lol. If they bark back if I have any tats I troll them more and say I have a tattoo on my cock and I will happily show them. Lulz. Basic bitches.

I work for myself now so its not even on my radar anymore. I work in a 'conservative' field though and separate my business by running a bit of a 'counter culture' on purpose.

People fly virgin airlines and jet blue either because they don't like normal airlines or they think they are too cool for them. Scion and Mini are brands of cars for people who want to buy an average car but feel like they are 'alternative' I'm like a virgin airlines in my industry and I will take the money of people who both need a legitimate alternative and just those who want to be cool.

Important sign of the times here. Tattoos always symbolised the criminal underclass or the rough types of men who worked on sea or in the Army. By having a tattoo they are in effect trying to relate themselves to this class of rogue male. Interesting, I don't have a dislike for tattoos, but on women it doesn't look good.

 

[BrokenTV]

Tattoos were good for two things. Showing somebody in a subculture like the military or counter-culture like a gang or a
motorcycle clubs and showing who the easy women were.With something like 65+ percent of women in their twenties and thirties having the damn things,
the slut signifying thing is not near where it use to be. The only time it seems to signify the really easy sex right now is if they have several large, disfiguring tattoos.

It stinks. This is the worst trend of the decade.

Edit: People are right in the thread to note that women have herd mentality/morality (Nietzsche) and never stop being mentally about 15 years old (Schopenhauer).
Once there is some sort of critical mass, half of the women will do something. 10 percent of the herd leader celebrities and friends have tattoos? I need a tattoo!
Bam. It went from 2 percent to 10 percent to herd mentality 50 percent in about 20 years. Tattoos seem about 25 times as common on women as they were 25
years ago, in my experience. What kind of twisted stampede was this? They might as well get Cow tattoos with Moo in Old English.

 

[AntiTrace]

so by your standards who should it be considered "ok" for them to get tattoos?

The people who traditionally had them were almost always associated with masculine culture, sub-culture and counter culture. Marines, metalheads, motorcycle gangs and stuff like that. Men should get tattoos, not women. This is like giving macho, manly-man's stuff to women.

When I see a woman with tattoos it doesn't seem right. It is like watching her walk around all day with a cigar and scotch. When did school teachers think they could get tattoos?

[caracal]

My grandfather fought in WW1 and had tattoos... and in the photos of him they look bad-ass.

I don't mind women having tattoos, but would I want marriage/a long-term relationship with a tattooed woman? Definitely no to exposed tattoos, and probably no to hidden ones. I have no problem fucking women with tattoos though - if I'm fucking a tattooed woman doggy-style I'd love withdrawing from her and cumming all over her tramp stamp.
