Default Tattoos turn on or turn off?

Do you find them to be a turn on or turn off?

And do you have them? and are you planning to get one or some in the future?




I'm not really a fan of tattoos i don't see anything attractive about marking up a body with random stuff. One depending on location and size is acceptable but when u have body parts covered in tattoos its a total turn off especially when the guy has pretty skin

And i would not get one also

ON.

As long as there's an emotional reason behind them.
Not just "that looked cool".

I Love tattoo's my GF has 6 I have one and plan on doing more. I however like mine not to show (for professional reasons) and I refuse to get some random tat i think it has to have a great meaning to you if you are going to put it on your body forever!!! I like them as long as there is a meaning to them and they are tasteful. Thankfully I waited until I was older to start getting them in High School I woulda gotten something I would have regretted! I also like piercings as long as there are not too many (I have tongue) GF has tongue and nose.

As long as the person doesn't have too many, and yeah a reason for having them not just to have one. I might want to get one someday.

Total turn on...
When my parents come visit me, they're signing for me so I can get one...

Here's what it'll be...

I'm half and half on them to be honest. I would like maybe one if i find a design i absolutely love. But then theres a girl in my class and hers look a bit of a mess, whereas i think Kat Von D is really beautiful and hers are amazing so i dunno...

for me, it is depends. I dont have a tattoo, and I dont ever see myself getting one, but I would not be adverse to dating someone who does... within reason. people who get tattoos simply because they think they look cool *like a peice of white trash who gets a tribal armband, but fails to see that has profound cultueral and religious meaning, and he isnt apart off the culture or religion it represents, I am not likely to want to date them, because they dont have much respect for others*

if it is something that has personal significance, then it is a celebration of that. and that isnt a turnoff.

I don't care much for tatooes. One may be OK but more than one is pretty much a turn off.

If I had to choose one design, I'd go for a 'ring' on the finger.

Turn-off, in general. Small discrete ones are fine, but I don't like big ones at all.

I have two, they aren't a turn off. I'm fairly neutral on them unless the tattoo's are of a racist nature or they are neck/facial.

If they're small and have a reason behind them, and are pretty and not tacky, huge turn on.

But if they're big and tacky and pointless, not at all.
It really depends.

And I'm getting one as soon as I turn 18, in memorial of my brother.
I'll probably get more after that too.
