Are tattoos unattractive to educated, nice guys?

Question

I'm a liberal type of educated girl, and i have 2 tattoos, a small hermes/mercury winged foot on my right foot and a medium to small tribal sun climbing the side of my back. is this unattractive to nice guys? or tacky in general?

Answer 1

Your tattoos are very modest. You would be best served only looking for guys that appreciate them. Beyond that, it is a stuffed shirt mentality.

We tattoo doctors, MOTHERS of doctors, lawyers, and even accountants (no offense to the bean counters.) This is a mainstream means of adornment now.

In today's society from my vantage point - we find that men like to look at women that happen to have tattoos, not look at tattoos that happen to have a woman in there somewhere behind them.

Answer 2

Actually it is tacky in general and has been a phase thing for a few years. The tattoo may look nice while your young, but the problem is you do not stay young forever and later on it will look like blobs of and ink smear on your skin, not too attractive.
It looks like women are biker club babes with tattoo's, but if yours are small no big deal it is the big ones on the backs, arms, and legs that look terrible.

Answer 3

I believe as you get older you see things a bit differently than when you are young. Since you are asking this question you may be at that point where you realize things you thought were 'cool' are now not so 'cool' anymore. I have a college degree and I consider myself a nice guy. Personally, I don't mind a girl having tattoos but if you were to ask me if you should get one my answer would be no you should not get a tattoo. And I would not go around asking my girlfriend to show off her tattoos to anyone, if that helps.

i think it's a matter of personal choice. 20 years ago, tattoos were considered on the tacky and low class side of things.. but now, people from all sorts of different backgrounds are getting them.

i won't pass judgement on a woman's tattoos until i learn the story about what the tattoo symbolizes.

i think it also depends on where the tattoo is.. women who get tattoos on their breasts and who like to show it off, well, they are sending a pretty strong message about what they are all about..

overall, i would probably have to say that i find tattoos unattractive, but i wouldn't let a tattoo stop me from dating a woman i really liked..

Answer 5

I love tattoos just not sleeves or big ones that take up an entire back or stomach. But a few small one's placed in the right spots is even a turn on for me.

Answer 6

I guess it depends on the guy , I myself find a tattoo on a girl attractive if its done well ,especially on the lower back or shoulder blade area )

Answer 7

Well, as a nice guy...educated and financially independent , etc....I find large tatoos very tacky, unsightly (men or womn) and a bit manly (on a women). However, it depends on the guy, but I find small tatoos on the lower back, ankles, or small ones bellow the belly botton,,,,very sexy! It really depends but I think most nice non tatoo wearing guys feel my way!

Answer 8

I think tattoos are very attractive. Get another one on your lower back even more sexier!!!

Answer 9

The two you have described don't seem bad or "tacky". Ot wouldn't bother me.

Answer 10

hell no.......its more like sexy.......im a nice guy and im my opinion i like tattoos........some guys dont though.....like i hate certain percings.....little nose diamond ring...belly button and a little one on the ear is all ok but anything else is questionable.....but just dont put tats on masculin places like the shoulder or arms
