<p>I personally don’t like them, but if its really small and unnoticeable, then I guess it won’t be too big of a deal.</p>
<p>“Oh and TomServo, how can it be a “dealbreaker” for you? Didn’t you post in another thread that you’re 27 and have never kissed a girl? I feel like for something to be called a “dealbreaker,” one has to be in the position of making deals in the first place lol.”</p>
<p>What I meant was that on occasions where somebody recommended a particular girl to me, if she had tattoos, that was an instant deal-breaker.</p>
<p>BTW, I think it’s weird that you remembered that.</p>
<p>i so lol’d</p>
<p>Why do tattoos have to have a meaning for some people to consider them to be okay? I have a small, 1.5", all black star on my wrist, I didn’t get it for any reason other than I like stars and I like how it looks on my wrist. Yes I did want it a whole year before I got it.
@Plattsburgh, I like all black too, it just seems so elegant to me.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why you would need to have any dating experience to speak of to have dealbreakers. I knew I would not be willing to date a smoker before I had ever kissed anyone. Even virgins have standards.</p>
<p>Any guy who would make a big deal about something as trivial as a small tattoo isn’t really mature enough for a relationship in the first place. And at any rate, we are talking to an extremely conservative OP…just look at the rest of his posts. He comes off as extremely judgmental and religious, so of course even the tiniest, most meaningful tattoo is going to be a deal breaker to him.</p>
<p>I personally don’t have any tattoos, I have contemplated getting the “tramp stamp” but decided against it. I also don’t like sleeves and excessive tattos in areas in which they cannot be covered…this applies to guys and girls.</p>

<li><p>No tattoo is classy. That’s a contradiction. You can hide them and still look classy but the tat itself isn’t classy.</p></li>
<li><p>Tats do not make a girl look hotter. Female skin is more attractive to me than ink.</p></li>
<li><p>Tats are just a bad idea in general. I really don’t feel like discussing it but they are stupid. They will look horrific for the second half of your life and serve no purpose. You may think they have a personal meaning to you but they do not. Stop lying to yourself and other people. Tats won’t help you sleep better at night or relieve stress.</p></li>
<li><p>Girls especially should avoid tats because they heavily influence your appearance. And, like it or not, a girl’s appearance is one of the most important things in her life.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>
</p>
<p>The fact that you would even contemplate this shows a lack of maturity needed in a stable relationship.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not true in all cases. My tattoo is in an area where skin does not sag (well, if my skin were to sag there, I think I’d have bigger issues at hand than a deformed tattoo).</p>
<p>I don’t see how a small tattoo could be a deal-breaker, but whatever floats your boat.<br>
Less competition.</p>
<p>So is the soap factory having a sale on boxes tonight? It seems like a lot people are standing on them. </p>
<p>I don’t understand how this even a debate. I get if someone isn’t attracted to them–that’s perfectly fine. But some people are making comments that suggest that what she does to her body should be for their viewing pleasure. Almost like everything a girl decided to do should be done to keep men interested and she’s an idiot if she does otherwise.
Welcome back to the 50s, ladies. </p>
<p>I’m guessing I’m the only one reading (or misinterpreting) some comments this way but as a girl I do not pick out my clothes, do my hair, decide whether to tattoo or pierce myself based in what I think Johnny will like. </p>
<p>It’s entirely for me.
It’s one thing to have an opinion–positive or negative–about tattoos it’s another thing to act like a woman is obligated to look a certain way. </p>
<p>I agree with theprincessbride–there’s a certain level of immaturity present with those who hold this viewpoint.
I think that’s a lot more unattractive than any tattoo.</p>
<p>
I’ve been reading it that way too.</p>
<p>
Talk about a soap box. Platts is completely right. Who the hell are you to say whether or not it has a personal meaning to me?</p>
<p>Well then you are either lame or gay. (There’s nothing wrong with being gay, I’m just sayin.)</p>
<p>Because I’m a guy and I’ll admit that pretty much everything I do with my appearance is done with females in mind.</p>
<p>It has nothing to do with sexism or whatever. It’s a pretty basic human survival trait. You want to please the other gender so you can have sex with them and reproduce.</p>
<p>^Okay, then how about this to counter Platts view- I’ve had a ton of guys tell me they think my tattoo is hot. </p>
<p>It’s an opinion, even though you decided to post your opinions in bullet point as if they were fact.</p>
<p>i dig girls with cool tattoos. no tramp stamps.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll make a note of that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Amen! Agreed 100%.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What’s really immature is judging someone’s personality based on their appearance. Getting a tattoo doesn’t make a person mature or immature. It doesn’t really say anything about a person except that they liked an image or design enough to get it inked onto their skin. I don’t have any tattoos and don’t plan on every having any, but does that fact alone make me mature? The obvious answer is no. It doesn’t make me anything.</p>
<p>FYI, having an open mind and a non-judgmental attitude is also needed in a stable relationship.</p>
<p>Girls with tattoos don’t bother me and they can be sexy if done right. Having random tattoos all over the place is getting a little too much for me though but that’s just personal preference. </p>
<p>I’m a guy but I’m thinking of getting like a flesh colored tattoo or something on my chest (something a little lighter than my skin color which is a light brown).</p>
