Do tattoos ruin young ladies?

[Chron]

I personally don't like them, and they would be a deal breaker for me. I find them ugly, just a personal preference to me.

Thanks for the honesty guys. It might be an "after I'm secured by marriage" thing

My hesitancy doesn't come so much from worrying that I'll regret it, but rather for the fact that everything I wear and do would henceforth be contextualized by the tattoo. I've had the same designs in mind for years. I'm also not worried about "how it will look when I'm old", because I've already decided to become an elven and interesting old lady.

I just don't know if it will be too much of a "progressive" or "loose woman" social signifier.

Moderation is the key. All three of mine can be covered by a T-shirt. I have been in situations where I am glad they aren't hanging out. It never hurts to be able to "pass for normal" in public when needed.

Be who you are. Not who you are not. Folks who do that, are happy a lot.

I prefer if she doesn't have em. But its not a deal breaker. Just depends on the tattoos and if excessive like others have said and where. A tramp stamp for example is a no for me.

I'm curious about this too as I want to get a coffee cup tattoo of some sort and I think it might be fun and cool, but I'm worried it may or may not affect job and dating prospects and I've been warned against it.

Maybe it would be wise to wait until after you're already in a relationship that feels permanent?

The latest luxury fashion over here is getting a tattoo done in prison.

Done by a high-end tattoo artist with the best equipment, but just done in a prison.

You can pay to have the tattoo done in a private, secure cell - less expensive.

Or you can pay to have it safely done in the prison yard - more expensive.

I may seem like I'm wimping out, but there is power in knowing I have tattoos and knowing that people will only see them if I choose to display them. I usually take my shirt off at the beach, but other than that they are on a "need-to-know" basis.

That's actually a nice way to see it, and definitely something to consider! Like secretly being extremely sexy but only dressing like a fundie
