Tattoos: Are they attractive or nasty?

I personally don't find tattoos to be attractive. But to each his own!

How about lower-back tattoos on women? Just to throw out one example...

I like tattoos if they are tastefully done and small. There is such a thing as too big and too many.

Depends on what they are of and where and on a guy or girl.

THEY CAN BE BOTH!!

NASTY! And they don't improve with age.

overdoing body art can get ugly...but SOME people look very nice with tats...

i prefer not to have any though...for numerous reasons...

Nasty. They get worse with age, are distracting in the sack and cause impotence in men.

I find them attractive on some people and disgusting on others. I think a lot of it has to do with the person's choice of image, as well as where they choose to put it.

Depends on what it is and where it is.

I can go either way .. it depends on the tattoo, the person, the location, etc. And some thought as to what it's going to look like when you're 70 is important, too, I think. "Grandma! What's that ugly big vulture on your leg?" .. "It used to be a pretty little butterfly" :)

I've thought about getting my girls' initials put in small letters on my shoulder. But they're almost four and I haven't done it yet, so I'm not positive that it'll ever happen.

i dont have any because the Bible says not to engrave any images on your body,but i am also not very religious either so i think a small 1 is OK,BUT for the people that have their whole arm or back in tattoos ....it's nasty,sick,yuk

Usually attractive now but 50 years later...NASTY - You start out with a tattoo of roses and fifty years later they are long stem roses - gross. Plus the lower back tattoo is commonly referred to as a tramp stamp... you figure it out. Finally the whole religious aspect of not getting a tattoo is completely bull sh*t. Jesus doesn't care what the hell you put on your body only the contents of your soul.

They are nasty.. The Lord states its a sin to defoul the body.. But do people listen Nope.. They will Cause the Lord Jesus is coming.. He's at the door.. Are you all ready?

I have a tatoo of a Dove/songbird on my shoulder and my fiance' has Arch angel wings on his back - both tatoos are only in black ink no colors -and both are very attractive tatoos we get compliments all the time especially from people who dont like tattoos - The point is as long as it is something tasteful/simple and not crazy looking than a tatoo can be attractive -

They can be attractive if done tastefully and they need to have a meaning! I am a mother of two and I have seven tattoos. They are placed in discrete places and each one has a specific meaning. The design needs to "mean" the same thing the day you get one as the day you die, because they will last that long.
So, if you are thinking about getting a tattoo put some thought in to what it would mean to you in five or fifty years. You might want to even design your own.
Tattoo artist can draw up a design for you using your ideas!
Good luck!

lower back....hmmm....HOT!...like a bullseye

It depend on whether or not you like them. Personally I wouldn't want my whole body covered with them. Therefore I do not have any. I have thought about getting just one but I'll probably never get around to getting one. So if you don't like tattoos just don't get one.

I saw a lovely looking grandmother in a store the other day with a pretty little sundress on, she had ugly tatoos over the outside of both of her calves... it just didn't work. My opinion - there is nothing I want on my body FOREVER!!!! Think about it, you will age, you will most likely will be a grandparent someday if you are lucky, do you really want to look like that when you are 70? It won't be sexy then! :)

I find certain tattoos on men attractive. I am definitely a sucker for the "bad boy" image.

On women? Not so much. I especially hate the tramp stamp on the lower back.

I find tattoos to be attractive if it is something that truely represents the person If the person is not into their ink believe u me it shows I have seen older men with their military tattoos and I do not think that the ink was nasty Granted life is going step in and do its thing However I do NOT find people riddled in tats attractive I have gotten a couple of tats myself and I have never had anyone complain I have a 1/2 tribal wrap around that I designed My best friend has the other 1/2 this was our way to get something to show our bf commitment I know its sad but its something that NO ONE can take away from us }we r platonic bfs{

I like them. If they're good. Jailhouse is nasty.

I find them attractive on girls if they are small. And on guys I think they are attractive if not over done, however I would never get one because I can't see myself haveing one when I get old.

I think tattoos are nasty because people over do it. I think if someone gets a tattoo they should put it somewhere it can be hidden at all times, and that it should be very small.
I had a friend who had one on the side of the base of her foot. It was a very small dolphin. Where it is located it is always hidden unless she doesn't have shoes on. She even wore a pair of sandals that day to make sure she could hide the tattoo with the strap.

Tattoos turn me RIGHT OFF!

Nasty! Can't you just see that "sexy" tattoo when the girl gets to be 60 years old? And they can't just take it off easily!

they were attractive when i was younger
but now not anymore
i have 1 on my lower back, and i totally REGRET it!
when my skin loose its elasticity, i wonder what's gonna happen to my tattoo =)

Nasty do you really want needels in you

A girl with a tattoo is like stripper. Lots of fun and can even make you hot, but NOT long-term relationship material. Also, how are those tattoos going to look when you're old. Nasty!

Minimal, on a young person, alright
but those mega tatto-ed individuals, yes, those are indeed, nasty

It is a turn off to me. I don't want to see daddy's girl on a girl am going to marry lol

Nasty. Just compare the type of people who get tatoos to those who don't. You'll see what I mean.

I do not find them attractive at all. I would never sit through the pain of someone continually sticking a needle in me to do their "artwork" on me. Not to mention the potential health risks.
