RedKoopa Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I'm 22, and I don't have a single speck of ink on me. I honestly, hate tattoos. I once went to a beach with a guy 6 months ago and I dated him until I realized he had tattoos. Game over.

Sephina Frostbite Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I love them if they are done well. 6 months and you left just like that? You must really hate tats are wasn't that interested in him. None of my business of course. Just IMHO
RiiCassidy Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I love tattoo's, it depends on what it is and why you are getting it. If you are getting really idiotic tattoo's for no reason thats where it makes me cringe. Personally dumping someone because they have tattoo's is a really ignorant thing to do.

Hard to believe that a tattoo was the heavy straw that broke the camel's back. There could have been a great person inside that skin, and now you'll never know. I'll go easy on you, since you said that you are only 22. On the up side there is still time for you to forge ahead from this point on in your life to look a little deeper.... ....oh, I almost forgot something. Welcome to earth, land of misfit toys.

Ren Toxx Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I don't have an opinion about them (or about the people who use them), just my personal taste: they're not my fancy, so I don't use them myself *shrugs*
Marigold Devin Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 If you hate tattoos, then you hate tattoos. For whatever reasons, they're your reasons. And I strongly suspect there was more to dislike about the guy you went to the beach with than just his tattoos. I think in my whole life I only ever dated one guy who had tattoos (in RL), and my first partner in SL only had one very tasteful tattoo of a Scorpion across one shoulder, my last partner - well, I probably should have judged her by her tattoo, because she turned out to be exactly what that tattoo told the world she was - and definitely not my type. So I'd say continue to follow your inner voice. There's plenty of fellas out there with skin untainted by art/graffiti. Edited to add: I actually think its refreshing that a 22 year old isn't into tattoos, because in my home town the younger generation really seem to favour them, with a sheep-like mentality. Good on the OP for being an individual with their own very strong mind.

You heard, or course, about the man who had a "W" tattooed on each butt cheek, so that when he bent over people would declare "WOW" :matte-motes-evil-invert:
SLtesterL2 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 For me? Nah. I never found them to be appealing since I can't think of a symbol or saying that I would want on my body permenately but I can appreciate others and the artwork. Sometimes I look at the tattoos some people have and think "that's a bit much" but hey, they like it so let them have their fun. (Also it is funny when you do see some ridiculous tattoos and have a small chuckle to yourself heh heh )
Perrie Juran Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 to change the topic of this thread. :matte-motes-evil-invert:

I once went to a beach with a guy 6 months ago and I dated him until I realized he had tattoos. Game over. I think not dating someone because of something like a tattoo is really just a scapegoat. I'm quite certain there was some other reason(s) really at work there. Otherwise you'd be a pretty shallow person and I prefer thinking most people aren't that shallow. Then again, lots of people don't date certain people because of physical attributes they do not like, I suppose. I like, or dislike, people for the people they are, not just how they look. That said, I like tats. I may not always agree a tat is done well, or looks great on a person, but if they are happy with it then I am happy for them. It is their body after all. I prefer tats that have some meaning behind them, personally. I have tats. I have several actually. All have strong meaning for me. All are very, very well done. Most were designed by me. I have never just wandered into a shop and said "gee I think I'll get a tat" and picked one off the wall. To be honest I'm not sure why anyone would. As that tat wouldn't really have much meaning, I don't think. Maybe I'm wrong tho, and it does. Who am I to judge? The place I get my work done does not do "off the wall" work. They do have some books of prior work, but they will never repeat a tat exactly. Unless of course there is a specific reason two(or more) people want the exact same tat. It's still done on custom basis though.
Griffin Ceawlin Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Wow. In the future, before you waste your - or anyone else's - time, try asking. And if, in the future, you ever find yourself dumped because of a freckle in the wrong spot, you'll know how it feels.

Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I like them if they are artistically done. You must have liked this guy to date him for six months. To dump him due to a tat that obviously was in a place that normally isn't seen if it took you six months to discover, seems pretty shallow to me. I know at one time tats were considered not the thing to do for 'normal' people, but that's not true anymore. People from all walks of life have them now. Where I live tat parlors used to be highly regulated as to where they could locate even in low rent districts, but now I see tat studios that are as plush as posh spas located in high end shopping areas.
Ren Toxx Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Tangential observation: several participants in this thread seem to be reading that the OP dated the guy for six months, instead of her dating him for an unspecified amount of time and that this happened six months ago. Not that it changes the essence of the question, but... *shrugs*

Czari Zenovka Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I can't stand tattoos RL or SL. In SL some people look like the Amazing Painted Man (or Woman) that used to be in old circus sideshows.

All of us have some sort of issue - some more than others, some less than others.
