My girlfriend has 8. One on her leg, one on the back of her neck and the rest on her upper back. I think it's perfectly fine for a girl to have tattoos. I mean, I did meet her while I was getting my first tattoo over two years ago, lol. If you want one, get it. It's your body after all.

Here are some things that I know; First, I am tattooed (and working with an artist on my next piece) and my husband thinks I'm mad sexy with or without it. Second, while the back of the neck might seem like a good place to get one, you may want to reconsider the location. I don't say this because I think it will look stupid or whatever. I say this because there may come a time when you want to get a professional type job and that just doesn't make a good impression. Tattoos are entirely personal and because it will be with you forever, you need to make sure it's something that holds meaning for you. (which is why none of my work has been chosen off a wall, but carefully worked out in every stage of development to exactly what I wanted). If you're going to get ink, that's great, when done properly it is a beautifully artistic form of personal expression. But make sure you know exactly what you want and where you want to get it. Like I said, back of the neck might not be the best place, but perhaps moving it down about three inches so that it could be hidden by a collar if necessary might be an option.

Look at it this way. Do you really want your identity as a woman and a person to be ruled by what other people - particularly men - think of you? Is 'turning guys on' actually the most important thing there is?
My view is: I'm me. I have the tattoos I have, all with stories and reasons behind them. Anyone who doesn't like my tattoos is essentially saying they don't like me and my life and history - not that I much care, it's their loss, but it's a very closed-minded viewpoint if they do think that. I don't much want to know them, if that's the case. Because there are plenty of other things in everyone's life that aren't literally written on their bodies waiting to be read. If someone can't deal with my having a tattoo that represents the ups and downs in life, how the hell would they be able to deal with the real ups and downs?
My point about 'what people think' does go the other way, too. If your interest in getting a tattoo is based on impressing people or getting it because your friends think you should, that's no better reason to have a tattoo than 'guys not liking it' is a reason not to get one. But if it's something you want, then why be swayed by anyone else?
Hope this helps - best wishes!

WOW - I'm stunned at all of the closed mindedness going on!
You should make a decision like this based on what YOU think and feel. It doesn't matter if the guy sitting next to you likes tattoos or not. Getting a tattoo is an expression of you. Why would you want to be a with a guy that judges you based on a tattoo anyway? He should like you for YOU, who you are on the inside and the kind of person you are ... not because you have ink on your body.
I've got 3 tattoos and I've never had a problem getting men! I've been told mine are sexy and I'm very proud of mine. I do not regret getting them and if a guy doesn't like them ... then too bad for him!
Just make sure you do this for YOU ... and not because of someone else. Don't let society rule you.

Wow - not sure what part of the country some of you all live in if that's what you associate women with tattoos as being. Around here, tattoos are pretty common. Way to pigeon hole women.
Let's see - I'm 39, married 20 years, have a son, have my own bookkeeping business, my husband and I own a luxury car rental business, I volunteer - and yet, my whole back is fully covered with a detailed tree in black. I've had nothing but comments on how beautiful it is.....it is very sad that so many judge by the outside. I'm older, didn't start getting them until I was older, so I don't exactly care what anyone thinks.
If you are really worried about it then I would recommend not getting one until you aren't concerned one way or the other.

I like some tattoos on girl but not a ton. Also I HATE tramp stamps horribly. Also not a fan of female getting them on there breast area. Also I wouldn't get it in area that gravity has a tendency to alter the part of body you get tattoos because in 15 years your awesome looking tattoo at the time could be like what the heck is that? On Last episode I saw of Bad Ink which was repeat but 1st time I saw it a woman hated the tatto but I thought it was hilarious but I totally understand why she wanted it fixed it was a little stick man mowing the lawn if you get my drift. It was hilarious & would be great conversation piece but it would get old eventually.

Hmm, I'm 40. I wonder if I should be offended by Engenius' remark? Nah.
Are you getting the tattoo because you want to impress someone? Perhaps because you have friends who are doing so? If that's the case, I would say hold off. Think before you ink; peer pressure tats aren't a good idea.
However, if it's something you really want, whether it be for some deep personal reason or just that you love the art, go for it. Wait until you're 18 or older for growth & adulthood reasons, but otherwise do as you wish with your body. There will always be people with BS reasons not to get them; ignore them and do what you want. For every guy hating tats, you find at least another who loves them & that you have the strength of character to express yourself as you see fit.

BG, that is a very closed minded answer. I have 2 and I am a very successful young woman. Anyway back to the question, It doesn't matter what ANYONE thinks, if you wanna tattoo, get one.
