I work with some lovely young ladies. Most of them are sporting tattoos (some are really inked up), and I think that it detracts from their natural beauty. Maybe it's my age? I'm curious to see what others think about this.

What about the underboob tattoos? These are all the rage. Not that you would be able to see it on ladies you work with.

Don't like that underboob tat. My SIL was in India for a work project last year and had the locals do that henna thing on her hand and forearm and had video taken of part of the process. It was pretty cool watching the talented local ladies to it.

I wonder if people who get body tattoos ever stop and think about what they will look like when they are 50 .... or 60 ..... I mean, the 70 year old lady goes to her doctor, and has to disrobe ..... and has a tramp stamp .... or the underboob deal. Some of these look great on an 18-20 year old ..... but once they get a little older ..... and/or add a little more weight ..... and they start to look kinda bad.

This is why I have no tattoos lol. Because age happens. If I was gonna get one it would a tiny thing that wouldnt be affected by age. (If I was a chef or serial killer)

I once dated a girl who was kinda both .... Seriously though, I don't mind small ones, but not huge sleeves, and such .......... and when people go full facial and such, I have to wonder what kind of work they will be able to do.

Well, when the ladies get older, their boobs will probably cover-up the tattoo anyway.

I could have really made out on a tattoo, if I would have got one about 12-13 years ago, on my gut. My gut was trim and tight at that point ...... now it's a big fat blob ..... but the tattoo would now probably be about 3-4 times its original size.

There's one main problem with the underboob tattoo. The older a woman gets, the less of it you would see.

Some of these look great on an 18-20 year old ..... but once they get a little older ..... and/or add a little more weight ..... and they start to look kinda bad. Lots of stuff looks better on a 20 year old as compared to a 50 or 60 year old. Most 50 or 60 year olds don’t give a crap either. They know they’re not ‘attractive’ to 20 year olds anymore anyway. What it comes down to is you only go around on this rock once. It’s a very brief window. If you want tattoos, get them. Who cares what you’ll look like at 60. No one is likely going to want to see you naked anyway at that age. And those that do want to see you naked at that age aren’t going to care about your stupid tattoos. Likely they’ll be more worried their Cialis fires up and starts working. I have tats. My girlfriend has tats. She’s beautiful... ink... no ink... matters not. When I’m 66 and she’s 60 she’ll still be beautiful to me. Ink. No ink. As a nurse I’ve seen plenty of old tattoos on old people. Every one comes with a story. The story is important still. Even if the ink has faded, stretched, or sagged. Go be you. Ink. No ink. And remember...(to those under 60) don’t assume you’ll make your 60th birthday. If you’re 20 year old self wants a tattoo go for it. YOLO

There's only one place we disagree. At 20 years old you may want a Phis tattoo. By the time you're 35 that may very well sound pretty stupid to you.
My dad requested that I at least wait until I was in my mid 30's to get tattoos. By then he felt I would have the time to think about it and be very sure that they would be something I wanted on my body for the rest of my life.
I took his advice and I'm very glad I did. I have numerous tats and am quite happy with them. I can't say that would be the outcome had I have rushed into it when I was younger.
Much like you I believe to each their own. I do however think my dad's advice was sound and wise.

I agree Pit. I got my first in my late 20’s. I made sure my tats had some meaning to me. They tell part of my story. They speak to my heritage, my beliefs, and to my influences. I can’t imagine just getting random flash art, or a Yosemite Sam, or other such random thing on my skin for life. But if that’s what one chooses to go with who am I to stop them? I’ll just laugh behind their back..

Oh we certainly agree. That's why I would never tell someone not to get a tattoo. At the same time I don't feel it hurts anything to give them a little something to think about before they jump in feet first.

On women, I hate tattoos. I see the woman's body as a work of art and a tattoo just disfigures it.

I can't vote as there are options that fall between what is listed here. On some women, some tattoos look like crap, but similar work on another woman might look great (or even kinda hot!). For me, there is no rule - it depends on the ink, how it is done, and the individual. As for the idea of waiting to get one - the only sort of caution I've ever found necessary was a couple of simple rules: - Never get a name - ANY name (if you get her name on your chest and she dumps you, you're not going to be happy)
- Never get a logo or brand or anything from pop culture (that 7-Eleven or Chevy logo, the NASCAR driver's number, or the face of Lady Gaga might seem like a great idea right now, but in fifteen years you might be regretting that choice
- ask yourself if you can be happy with this FOREVER - if you have to think about it, you need to start serious reconsideration
- Get something that means something to you
- NEVER get something because someone else thinks it's cool
I followed most of these from the beginning and having gotten my first ink at age 18 and still being content with what I got, I feel it has served me well. YMMV - do what speaks to You.

I think that's a valid tribute and exception.
As for dog names.... I had considered it once. Ten years after their passing, I'm kinda glad I didn't.
What I would get is a paw. When my girl passed she was my first dog), the vets took an ink blot of one of her feet and mailed it to me. I actually will get that as one of my next tats.

Tattoos are a personal statement, and should never be done on a whim, especially if it is your first or one of only a couple.
And as much thought should be given to where you put the tattoo, as to what tattoo you get.

I have a good amount of tats. 9 I believe.
My own rules are:
No names of anyone other than a child nothing that cannot be covered up by clothing
Other than that, I have tats that mean something to me, and ones that I just thought were pretty cool looking when I walked by a shop and got put on.
I don't get tattoos for others to see, I enjoy getting them, and I enjoy having them for me.
I don't need approval of anyone, and could care less what anyone thinks of them.

nah, I disagree. My favorite tattoo that I have I woke up one morning, was walking by a shop - saw one I liked - tweeked it a bit with the artist, and slapped it on. Has absolutely 0 meaning, but I love the design and how it looks.

Nope, my first tattoo was a superman symbol on my arm. im a fan of comics. I went on my 18th bday, I wasn't sure what I wanted, just that I wanted a tattoo. So I got a superman logo because I know I enjoy the comics and character. Although it has some meaning, I chose it on a whim. but the point being, my favorite one is one I had 0 plans of getting, or gave any thought process towards getting it until I walked in to get one. Tattoos are a weird thing, they are one of those things that unless you have received one, you don't really understand them. They can have great meaning, little meaning, or 0 meaning at all. It doesn't mean that you cannot enjoy getting one, or enjoy the feeling of when you get one. And to those that make comments about "whats that going to look like when your 60", come over, ill pull down my back side, and you can look at the one on my right cheek and let me know :)What does it matter to you or anyone else what it looks like. These old people look pretty content if you ask me.
