I've become a fan of Ink Master (and Tattoo Nightmares!), and this season the contestants are so inked up it's distracting. <br /><br />I'm not a fan of women wearing a lot of ink. If they have one, that's fine. I think it's Holly Marie Combs (Piper from Charmed) who has one on her wrist that resembles a bracelet. That one I actually like. Just not a fan of large ones or on every body part.Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-48449977830582186422014-03-25T00:18:53.556-04:002014-03-25T00:18:53.556-04:00I guess I don't mind tattoos if they're no...I guess I don't mind tattoos if they're not naked women or gory scenes.

Still sexy at 80. :) <br /><br />I think that tattoos should have meaning for the wearer.

I've seen guys with great tattoos that make them look sexy, but I've seen other men who have overdone it and they look sleazy. I don't usually like tattoos on women for some reason. My SIL got several and it really turned me off. As humans we like change so much, I wonder how people like looking at the permanent reminders of decades earlier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-78246562860552865382014-03-24T14:05:03.190-04:002014-03-24T14:05:03.190-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-70127718356073577982014-03-24T13:21:41.917-04:002014-03-24T13:21:41.917-04:00Paris, I agree that tats are body art and forms of...Paris, I agree that tats are body art and forms of self-expression. I'm with you about pursuing other forms of self-expression, like the fuchsia streaks in my hair now.<br /><br />Renee, you and Tommy Lee! I can see it now. LOL. When a tat has an intriguing story, that makes it sexier.<br /><br />Tina, yes, tats on young men and women look good. Not so much when the skin starts to wrinkle.<br /><br />Vicki, maybe tattoo removal is a good business to get into. <br /><br />Debbie, even reminding younguns that tats fade and wrinkle with age probably won't stop them.<br /><br />Nicole, I love the unicorn picture. Thanks for the laugh! <br /><br />Adele, like I said, I decided not to get a tat because I couldn't stand having something I couldn't wash off on my ankle. Every time I see a young person with a tat, I think about how that tat will look when the person's skin wrinkles with age.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-81838008398154680722014-03-24T13:18:25.093-04:002014-03-24T13:18:25.093-04:00I'm with Adele on this one.

When he's old, he won't look so hot. <br /><br />Great post, Cara.

I've never wanted one and married the only sailor in the history of the world who doesn't like them, and never got one. <br /><br />Some of the characters in my books have tattoos, and on them, the tats are sexy. <br /><br />Have you ever seen a tattoo after decades of hard living? Yikes! Not so cool or pretty when they're faded, wrinkled, and stretched out of shape from weight gain or muscle tone loss.

I'm with you, however, they fade, we age and the laser removal people will be making some bucks.

They don't bother me...in fact, my first teen fan craze was with Tommy Lee from Motley Crue and you all know how tattooed up he is LOL<br /><br />I have a friend (male) who has one brightly colored sleeve and is working on the other arm. He's probably the first REAL person I ever knew that had tattoos and somehow, I still found them sexy.<br /><br />The stories about why they are there are just as intriguing too.Renee Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911632561277496224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-76125639348252935782014-03-24T08:44:51.358-04:002014-03-24T08:44:51.358-04:00I view tattoos as body art and a form of self-expr...I view tattoos as body art and a form of self-expression. Where the person was in their life when they chose the tattoo and the form it took, tells you a little bit about that person. Your hero seems to have done much the same thing. As for me, I think I'll pursue other forms of self-expression:)Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430750954598484156noreply@blogger.com
