guys, are small tattoos on the shoulder sexy or trashy?

southern b

i have been thinking about getting a tattoo on my shoulder for a while now, but i have been told they look trashy. if i do get one it will be small and intimate, not big and meaningless.

Answer
okay, any guy who will reject you because of a tattoo isn't worth your time. and if you're getting a tattoo based on opinions of guys on Y!A? you shouldn't bother...

i'll start off by saying its not the tattoo that is trashy, but the person. if you're a trashy girl, tattoos won't make you look any better. and if you're a sexy girl, tattoos won't really effect that either. it's not like girls are trashy just because they have tattoos. i don't know where you live, but where i'm from, many people have tattoos, and a lot of them are women. it's not like every girl who has a tattoo is a slut or trashy or anything.

i have two tattoos, both of which are about medium sized. my boyfriend thinks they're sexy and i've only heard compliments from guys about them. not one guy has ever told me my tattoos are a turn-off. if you can wear them confidently and you're a sexy girl, go for it. i can still be a classy girl and have tattoos. i have my ribs and my feet covered, and they're both beautiful pieces.

just because a tattoo is big doesn't make it meaningless. i think the trashiest thing ANYONE can do with tattoos is get like, stupid trendy stuff like hearts or stars (for girls) or tribal or dragons (for guys). if you get something unique and wear it well, it will look just fine.

How do guy's really feel about tattoo's on women?

Q. I have four tattoo's...my nickname given to me by my grandfather who has passed away is across my lower back. A tribal cross with a heart in it on my left ribs. A swallow bird on the back of my neck and luceat lux vestry witch is Latin for let your light shine on my right foot...so my question is how do guys really see women with tattoo's? thanks
I love my tattoos and they all have meaning for me! Yes one is on my lower back but that is the only spot that it would work... It does not make me a "Tramp" to have a tattoo there and to think any different is a sign of Ignorance so thank you!

Answer
The plural form of words like tattoo do not have apostrophes in them.

I hate all of those tattoos but I'm not ignorant enough to base my opinion of you on the tattoos you've chosen.

Forearm Tattoos on women?

Q. I plan to get a portrait of my mother on my forearm, but i don't know if it would look trashy or not.
any opinions?
Serious replies only!
I'm not here for immature people!

Answer
Me personaly i think it would. Doesnt matter who the person is or how they look i think thats all you can look at when its on the lower arm.
I think it also depends on if you will be getting it coloured or not but with it being a portrait it will mainly be in black shaded.
Megan fox has a portrait of maralyn monroe on her forearm..

strength tattoo ideas?

ily912

Okay, so on my 18th birthday i want to get a small tattoo. Im thinking like...on the outside of my foot. A small area that can be covered up. I have been through alot in my life, and i want it to really mean something. I have researched the nautical star, and i really was confident in that descision, but i am now second guessing myself because of the controversy surrounding it. I have also looked at the tabono. But i have not researched it. I have also played with designing my own so it would be tottally personal. any suggestions? btw, i love the nautical star, but some of the meanings people have put behind it really make me question wanting to get it.

Answer
Strong people do not get tattooed at all., The weak ones without enough moral strength to say "no" are the ones who allow themselves to be used and ruined and marked up by the Tattoo Industry. So if you want to show strength, do not get tattooed. A tattoo boasting of "strength" would be a lie.

Tattoos = Regret


âResearch shows that women face more social stigma than men regarding tattoos. Women with tattoos are more likely to have them removed because of embarrassment, body image, or career concerns.
Researchers from Texas Tech University found that women with tattoos are more than twice as likely to have them removed (as compared to men with tattoos). Most women are happy with tattoos when they get them, but their feelings changed within the next one to five years.
In this study, women found that tattoos began to cause embarrassment, and stopped being a source of uniqueness. Women with tattoos often have to hide them, which limits clothing options and increases feelings of self-consciousness.â

I am wanting to get a tattoo.
i am a girl

i am a student nurse, so will one day be a nurse and will need to be able to have it hidden for work.

do you think tattoos are tacky on girls ?
i am also a bit fat so somewhere where the tattoo will not stretch as much if i lose or gain more weight
i am also a bit fat so somewhere where the tattoo will not stretch as much if i lose or gain more weight

Answer
Im a girl and i recently got a tattoo on my foot, i want to be a teacher in the future so putting my tattoo somewhere i could easily hid it was very important to me. My sister in law is a phyciatrist and has a tattoo on her foot, it is easy to hid with closed shoes:) Perfect for a nurse because you would be wearing shoes anyway.Also it does not get as affected by weight loss and gain like other parts of the body. Also it does not hurt as bad as people say:) The worst part of the whole thing is the itching while it heals and only being about to wear certin kind of sandels that dont cover it while healing:)

Hope I helped! Good Luck(:

On a side note, dont listen to what other people think, if you like tattoos and you want one thats your choice. Its your body not anyone elses(:

Opinion on girls with tattoos...?

phoenix569

I've been thinking about eventually getting another tattoo, not for a while due to my last tattoo (I got the biggest piece I ever wanted done, so I'm pretty satisfied for the time being.) Anyway, my boyfriend of 2 years isn't crazy about them. I didn't get my 2 tattoos done without his approval, so it's not like he's mad or anything. I'm just curious as to what a lot of other guys/people think about them. There are certain tattoos I would LOVE to get, such as behind the ear or my wrist but then the side of me with morals kicks in. Some reason it bothers me to think of having a tattoo on my left wrist, the same hand I will wear my wedding ring but I've always felt like the right was a bad idea because that'll be the first thing someone sees if you shake their hand. I also think a lot about tattoos that would make it almost inevitable to cover up when I eventually get married. Don't get me wrong, I love my tattoos. But out of respect for my family, I would rather them be covered not by makeup but just a dress that covers them. Anyway, any opinions on all of this? Thanks!
Ok HI, I wasn't asking for people to tell me they are trashy. I'll reiterate, open minded opinions. Also, the family isn't very religious in that sense, and they are ok with my tattoos. It's just not something that they would want out in the open on my wedding day, mainly because it's big enough to be a distraction. My other tattoo is on my foot, so that's not an issue. And this is the USA, didn't ask about women in Asia.

Answer
If you know enough to hide tattoos, then you already know you should not get any. And yet, you have them, and even want more. Something is wrong with this picture! Here is my opinion on girls with tattoos: I recommend to men that they stay away from a woman with any tattoo, anywhere. I could say the same thing to women about men with tattoos. Tattoos mean trouble. Tattoos are a huge "red flag" that means one or more of the following:
"I am a misfit"
"I will cause you big problems",
"Get to know me and you will regret it"
"I am immature",
"I am needy",
âI am foolishâ,
âI am shallowâ
âI make bad decisionsâ,
âI have no sense of right and wrong,â
âI follow fadsâ,
âI am unemployableâ,
"I have been to prison",
"I belong to a criminal gang",
"I am promiscuous",
"I work in the sex-services industry",
"I can not sustain a long term relationship".
âI will fail in my lifeâ
A tattoo is little better than a cartoonâyou canât get a good quality drawing on the human skin. It will deface your body like ugly graffiti defaces a public building. I strongly suggest that you do not get a tattoo. There is a big cost to getting a tattoo, and it is far more than wasted money. The true cost of a tattoo is a lifetime of regret. Most regret it within 5 years. There is an 80% chance you will regret it in your lifetime. The regret starts after you start to notice how people react to you. Many people will look at you with disgust, for tattoos are offensive to many, many people. Your chances of getting a good job will be greatly diminishedâmost companies will not hire you since your tattoo will be seen as offensive to other workers. The majority of western people get tattooed when young and their decision making process is not yet matured. Youth tends to be impulsive. Young people are still developing and they need to be very careful in making important, permanent decisions. The reasons young people get tattooed are not mature (i.e. they want people to notice them, they want to pretentiously âhonorâ someone in a way that will attract notice, they want to pretentiously present some âdeepâ quotation on their skin in the hope that people will think they too are âdeepâ, they are rebelling against their parents or society, they are conforming to what they think are social norms, they are unable to see ahead and view the negative results of their actions, etc.) If you want to see the true level of cultural development for tattoos and other body modifications, look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwOXCmjTsvs . In a large sense, nothing illustrates the degeneration of western culture more than the entertainment industry encouraging impulsive youth to permanently disfigure themselves in order to âexpress themselvesâ. But such is the power of suggestion that more and more young people are buying into this Hollywood lie that tattoos are a cutting edge way to âexpressâ yourself. But that is so not true. You should express yourself with your words and actions, not by inking graffiti onto your living flesh. Good luck to you in your life. But do not get tattooed. Tattoos are permanent. You can not take them back. There are so many questions on this board about how to remove unwanted tattoos. Pay attention to them. They are there for a reason: People do not want to keep their tattoos. One day you will wish you had never gotten your tattoo(s) and will start to ask how you can get rid of them. Be smart and do not put yourself in this position.

Is it weird to have your niece/nephew name tattooed on yourself?

Babyy Girl

I'm an 18 year old girl and I want a tattoo of my oldest niece name on my inner wrist. I'm an aunt of 13 kids (9 boys & 4 girls) ,but most of nieces/nephews don't know me .

Me and my 4 yr old niece are very attached and I love her to death like she's my own daughter.
This will be my first tattoo

Answer
Take the money you would have spent on a tattoo and spend the day with your neice making good memories. Go to a zoo or amusment park - something you can do together.

If you want a tattoo later in life you can get your own childs name. Keep i mind that visible tattoos like on the wrist can really cause employment problems.

Is this tattoo too manly for a girl?

Ashley

For my birthday I plan on getting a third tattoo and I already have a scorpion on my inner wrist (Scorpio star sign) and a Sun,Moon,Star tattoo on my upper right arm (Because I love both astronomy and astrology) and for my third one I was thinking of maybe getting a Black Widow on the top of my right foot or maybe on the back of my neck since I have long hair and can hide it if needed. My B-Day is still almost 3 months off but I like to plan my tattoo ideas well. BTW I am 25 and know what I am doing and yes it has a meaning. My dad died 4 years ago and he had a Black widow tat on his left hand and I would like to get one as well as a memory. So I was thinking maybe about this one located below or would it be too manly?

GUYS:Do you find tattoos on a girl attractive or not?

Chaos

i'm 20 and since i was 16 yrs old i have wanted a tattoo, i've literally spent those full 2 yrs planning out my future tattoos, and while i still have not been inked yet i have 6 of them already planned out exactly how i want them. they each mean a lot to me,and they are also fairly hidden,i'm not getting a sleeve or anything... i'm not having second thoughts at all but i'm just curious, do you guys find them attractive on a girl or is it a turn off to you?

these are the ones i want.
The word "Dream" in cursive on my inner index finger. ( i'm a dreamer and it means to me, never give up that part of myself. To dream and to reach all of my goals in life)

A small treble clef on my foot ( my biggest love on earth is music, it's gotten me through everything in life, the good and the bad. i want something to show how big of an impact music is to me in my life)

A circle/ring on my inner wrist ( i know this one sounds dumb, but i got the idea from the book " the missing piece" by shel silverstein, it's a book my father got me when i was a little girl and i always loved, about a circle with a it's missing piece where a wedge is cut out. to me the full circle means, i have no "holes" or "missing pieces" i'm happy with who i am, i'm whole. a silly concept that means a lot to me.

The quote from Ghandi that goes "My life is my message" on my inner upper arm/bicep (sort of self explanatory, but it's one of my favorite quotes which basically means, you have one life, what you do with it is your legacy. i want to live my life with love and compassion. it's just a beautiful quote in my opinion)

A sparrow on my shoulder blade ( i want this for multiple reasons,i have wanderlust, i want to travel the world it's my dream but home is always close to my heart. Sparrows are known to travel long distances but always return home.... also sparrows represent freedom to me,also the fact that they represent love as they mate for life.)

I also want to get lyrics tattooed on my ribcage, either "my song is love" or "look at the stars,look how they shine for you". they are both coldplay lyrics as this band means the world to me, i have such an emotional connection with their music. My father used to play "yellow" for me when i was younger and it has always been my favorite song.i want a tattoo to show how important their music is to me.


curious on people's opinions of these tattoos.
wow, i meant 4 yrs.. not 2 yrs.

Answer
I find most tattoos on girls attractive and large tattoos at that. Chest pieces, half-sleeves, full-sleeves - I like them. However, girls get major bonus points for well thought out, meaningful, or thought provoking tattoos and points taken away for really ill-thought out tattoos.

For instance, your "Ghandi tattoo" is very original and I like it. Sparrows are an oldie but classic goodness. Your "literature tattoo" is very original too and literature tattoos are just pure awesome.

Im getting my fiances name tattooed on me (please dont leave messages saying its a dumb idea i dont want to hear that) his name is Joshua, idk should i get "Josh" "Joshua" Or both his first name and last name? we are getting married so the last name will stay. I want to put it on my left wrist, but than i heard the neck is a good place for a name than i heard above my breast? IDK leave ur opinion thanks =]

Answer
Instead of his first name, because ANthony is just so common I put his last name on my right wrist, I already had a tattoo on my left wrist. I personally have never been a big fan of tattoos on a woman's breasts, it strikes me as being tacky. Where at on your neck? Have you decided on a font or size?

Tattoo........................................................................................................

Ramon

I want a tat. NE body have some good sites or xamples? I would like a unique pic like a horoscope or celtic, aztec, tribal, etc. And/or phrase/poem. The phrase/poem would go on my forearms so when I put them across my body they connect like a puzzle. The phrase/poem needs to refer to family. The secureness, love, caring, etc of family. So the meaning of the words with my arms across my body like a hug gives a whole visual affect. Possibly in Spanish, French or Latin. Black or grey colors.
the words r goin on my arms, the pic will go on the deltoid area.

Answer
How old are you? If you are less than 22 you may want to reconsider. Think back to when you were 12, what tattoo would you have gotten then? If you had the blue power ranger tattooed on your back right now would you like it? What about 16? How cool are the goo goo dolls now? (Please replace the specific examples with something specific to you.) The same goes in 10 years. What will this phrase or poem mean to you then (besides that it has been on your forearms for 10 years)?

I understand they are a way to express yourself and I can dig that, but so is talking, t-shirts, music, cars and other things that aren't so permanent. Frat/sorority letters, military or other group insignias that are part of life changing experiences I can understand. The tribal Aztec armband? I don't get it. It isn't original anymore and it doesn't say anything about you. The hiragana and katakana symbols? Come on! 90% of the people who get them don't even know for sure what it means.

On top of that, they used to be taboo. Now 95% of the girls in college have a tramp stamp (pardon the expression) of a butterfly/dolphin/fairy/moon. They have lost the rarity that made them special.

If you get one, think long and hard about it and make sure it represents something that is very personal and long lasting. One last thing (if you got this far), I would stay away from the forearms and stick the tattoo somewhere that can be covered up by a shirt. In case you want to get a job where that is not considered acceptable.

What do you think of TATTOOS and INTIMATE PIERCINGS on WOMEN and GIRLS?

smiling sa

The best permanent enhancement for a woman's body is NO enhancement at all. Tatts especially, no matter how "good" they may be, are like taking a can of spray paint to the Mona Lisa. If I found out a woman I was dating had tatts, or piercings under her clothes (except a pierced navel), I'd probably ditch her. How about you?
Oops, if it isn't clear enough, let me emphasize: the above is only my own opinion.

Answer
I have thought about getting a tattoo, I even know what I would get if I did (a cool Latin phrase that used to be an ancient family motto). That being said, I will most likely never get one done. I had an incredible great-grandfather who had numerous tattoos all over his chest.... if you're looking for something that will make you reconsider a tattoo, look no further then the chest of a 90yr old man. A tattoo might look great now but I can't help imagining that same tattoo in 30-40 yrs, ugh!
So, I'm with you on this one - nothing is as beautiful as natural skin and this applies to guys as well as girls.

I'm a 53 year old woman and have a tattoo on my outer ankle. What do most people think about that?

sandpipers

I live in florida where pretty much is acceptable but when I go to the midwest people seem less accepting of it. I would like to get one more small one on my forearm. Is this too much?

Answer
Tattooing people over 40 is one of the favorite parts of my job. I think it's incredible. A lot of young people don't realize how scandalizing tattoos were even just a couple of decades ago. It was something that a perfectly nice person might look at longingly, but never dare to have because they were afraid of what people would think...especially their families.

Now the industry has changed. The health standards are much higher and the artists have a diverse range of styles. Sure, there are still a lot of loopholes that allow a lot scratcher work to survive, but thats slowly getting better. The whole body modification scene has come into the mainstream of popular culture. That sort of reassurance has given confidance to all of those people who grew up with it as a taboo subculture practice.

When it comes down to it, you dont have to be just getting over your first rash of pimples to be considered hip, and it's much easier on the nerves to tattoo a 50 year old than a 20 year old. At this point, you've been through your knocks and you know exactly who you are and what you want. You're not going to get something that you dislike later and you have the money to pay for something decent instead of tracking down some scuzzball to mark you up in their kitchen for $20.

Older clients are better clients. If I had my way, I'd never touch anyone under 25 ever again. Why? I repeat: You know exactly who you are and what you want.

Why am i so judgemental about tattoos? and how can change that?

but now im older(23) my little sister went to syria on her 18th got 1 on the back of her neck... my parrents didnt really care.... it wasnt really a big deal at all for them.. it was a big deal on me though.

a year later...

i have my girlfriend who i met(23 and this my first gf btw) with 4 tattoos.... 1 on her wrist... and 3 on the back of her neck(im clueless why i didnt care at first) & now she wants more i do love my gf i see her wrist & my mind is soo negative and judgemental. when the topic comes up it always ends in a fight

how can i still look at my girlfriend and sister & not judge them i do love both

please dont bash me, i dont want to be judged eaither i just want 2 change my thinkin

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of tattoos, either. I've seen too many that look like disfiguring scars or angioma-like birthmarks from more than 5 feet. A lot of them quickly become an embarrassment -- the joke grows old, the cuteness becomes childish, the pattern is recognized as ugly, obvious, or clashing.

Other tattoos take longer to become a regret. The more obvious ones can limit career options. Tattoos don't age well, are not easily removed, and their statements don't change along with opinions They do, unfortunately, change with skin and size changes.

Which reminds me -- did you ever see a picture of the big black cross Angelina Jolie had tattooed on her belly? I wonder how that looks now.

You have valid reasons for your opinion. And having expressed your opinions and your rationales, you have no more to add to the discussion. Don't bring it up, and if either your sister or girlfriend tries to bait you into an argument, simply say, "you know my opinion," and drop it.

Whether or not either of these women comes to regret this form of body adornment is not your choice nor your concern. They're following a fad that is still fairly popular, so they're not on the fringe of society, and I doubt either looks like Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies. Ignore the ink, and be glad it's not the fashion to chop off body parts.

I have a good friend with more than enough tattoos. When he mentions the desire to get another, I offer to draw designs using ink markers or to buy him a "Green Day Rules Forever" T-shirt.

Oh -- if you actually want to start thinking tattoos are cool, the fastest way to change your attitude is to get one yourself.

Tattoo quote Ideas HELP need opinions!!!?

sergio

I want to get a chest tattoo quote. I want it to be meaningful but short & strong. It cant be no more than 5 words.
About my self: Im very motivated person, strong , have ambition, determination, believe in god, love pushing myself. Im just a warrior.

Im looking for something for example like this

"Against All Odds"

"Let Go - Let God"

Which one do you like? So please if you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to comment below :)

Answer
What are wanting to accomplish with your tat?

*Attract women or men?
*Profess your religious fanaticism? (most tats screaming about God are NOT signs of Faith. The Bible expressly warns against such false shows of faith in God)
*Make people look at you when you take your shirt off?

It's certainly NOT for you. YOU will NEVER see or read what you put on your chest. You are doing it to show off for some reason only YOU know.
OTHERWISE, you'd make it small and somewhere YOU could see it, like your inner arm or wrist.

So it's very hard to suggest which phrase (of no more than 5 words) will best fit your expressionistic needs for your intended audience.
What is "meaningful" for you would be something YOU could read and be inspired by.
But a meaningful quote for a meat billboard really won't motivate or inspire anyone who sees it across your chest, and you'll never see it, except upside down as you stare at your chest, or backwards when you look in the mirror...

I think both of them suck. "Against all odds" is stupid. You'd be dead, so gee, what an accomplishment. Join the other 7 billion people on the planet. We ALL are here against the odds...dur.

"Let go - let God" is about as FAR from " Im very motivated person, strong , have ambition, determination, as you can get." You are NOT strong if you have to let God choose for you. God gave Man free will. It's in Genesis. He did it for a reason, and that was NOT to pretend that HE chooses for you. Same with motivation. What motivation if you expect God to do it instead of you?
So in addition to false proclamation of your faith, you choose a phrase to compound the irony and falseness...lol.

My suggestion? Skip the tat, and try to memorize a new quote every week. Then you'll at least show the INTELLIGENCE to use a quote for you, INTERNALLY, rather than as a lame piece of "LOOK at MEEEEEEeeee!!!" attention grabbing...

And I have 3 tats, one on my wrist for ME, one on my back shoulder for lovers, and one on my butt for an ex as personal closure.

You don't ask strangers about your tats. Your tats are supposed to MEAN SOMETHING to YOU, and where you place them should be just as meaningful. Not just to make yourself living signage...

Suggestions for tattoos? (:?

First, I'm not sure when i will get at tattoo because im not really sure of what i want yet. But I know i want a quote, so i was wondering what types of writing looks cool for tattoos, and spots on a womans body that would be good for quotes. I'm just looking for ideas, so thanks for any suggestions! (:

Answer
spine tattoos look really sexy on women. It really all depends on if you want it in a visual place. If no, then maybe your spine, side, hip, or back. If yes, then try your forearm or wrist. Maybe something across your chest as well.
