Why do so many American women have tattoos nowadays?

[have2fly]

1000% agree on what was said!

For Western world:

Tattoos are complete retardation! They look ugly, they look low-class, they waste beautiful skin given to you by God, nature, mother or whoever! I highly doubt I will EVER consider dating or marrying a girl with tattoo!

Can't cook, can't clean, can't stay in shape, can't stay loyal, wastes all your money, acts like a bitch, and now.. looks like a gang member. Who doesn't want to be with a useless whore like this!?

Yes!!! I second that! Music to my ears!

I've noticed this recently in the UK as well over the past few years. It seems like everyone has got one now. From looking at women on plenty of fish, so many women are eager to talk about how many tattoos they have, or how much they like them on men.

I tend to associate tattoos with hairy truckers, sailors or builders, so it's not something I have ever found attractive on women. These days because it is so common, it also puts me off because it is an idication that they are just another mindless sheep following the herd.

Sometimes I see a pretty girl, and then I see all these weird ink marks scraped into her skin, it kind of ruins the prettiness.

You sure would not want to sign any binding one sided contracts with someone like this. You know there is no way they would ever keep up there end. Only someone who likes being keep in poverty would marry a tated up American woman.

Tattoos are style statement, people loves to make tattoos on their bodies. Tattoo can be used as temporary jewelry; girl’s looks beautiful in these.

Tattoos are specifically banned in the Bible in Leviticus 19:28:

"You are not to make gashes on your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves"

The reason for this is that the decadent, immoral, "evil" cultures that surrounded the Israelites had this practice and the Israelites were not supposed to identify with these cultures. Much the same logic applies today. Tattoos are a public sign of being evil. So the reason that so many Western women have tattoos is because so many Western women are evil. Tattoos serve a useful function because it allows you to easily identify an evil person and stay away from him or her.

When I was in Guangzhou before Christmas I saw a Chinese girl with an English language tattoo. Oh did that crack me up - I was just disappointed I didn't get a photo (it was on her ankle, so it was kind of difficult to get a shot (not that it's discouraged me from taking photos of other hot Chinese girls!)).

For some reason generation x is getting tattos everwhere and huge earrings in their ears and nose earrings to match. I saw a gal who from a distance i didnt know if the person was a animal or human with the tattos and earrings. Frankly i was shocked but didnt have the nerve to say a lot at the time but that gal was discusting and this
seems to be the trend in the us now. The more animal you look the better????

You probably are not going to find a decent chick in rio any way.It has 200+ favelas and every girl that i have spoken to that is from there just seems very shady.mabey good for P4P but i would rather take the road less traveled.the tattoo thing i have not noticed with them i rarely even see brasilian men with them.but i am quite sure a lot have them.

I' m new to this forum. I was just seeking to understand the issue of women having tattoos. I have read most the existing posts and, as in general I agree meaning that tattoos on a woman does nothing that adds to her beauty.

Now, my interest of this topic is the result of seeing tattoos and piercing on my therapist. I'd like to know why she has them, so is it cool to ask her? Or, is it a major goof up?

I've been seeing her for about 3 years now. I met her while in the psych ward. To me she is a 10+ both in physical and mental beauty. And, I am in love with her, she knows because I told her. For now, she wants to maintain that professional distance and separation between therapist and patient. I see her once a week.

I don't think of her as a whore or any other descriptions others have stated on this forum. She is in her mid 40's 44 I think. I'm 57 so as growing up in the 1970's the idea of a tattoo on a gal was unheard of.

She has a few small tattoos on her ankles, major art work on the upper part of her right arm and a nose ring on her left nostril. It makes me wonder what's under the rest of her in those special places. I can hardly wait to see that. She usually dresses professionally that covers her tat's but the nose ring remains. However she is a typical American woman with the usual kinds of interest. She recently moved to a new office that was totally bare. It only took a week or two to fully set up the office with pictures, diplomas comfortable chairs, etc.

I'll probably ask her some day and leave it up to her if she wants to answer me.

That's all Sorry for the rather long post. I get carried away when it comes to writing about the woman I love...

I call it the "mark of the whore" these days.

Some obvious places to look at where you can correctly deduce a lady's lifestyle.

The tramp stamp: Small lower back. This is the infamous one everyone knows about and a sure sign that she's a ho or party girl.

Ankle tat: Less ho-ish but also a pretty good indicator of her recreational proclivities.

Behind the ear or wrist tats: Gang or some type of alternate lifestyle tat. Definitely a head case.

Shoulder/Upper arm tat: The "angelina jolies" It's basically the area where women get tats if they want to hide it. She uncovers it when she's on a night on the town and covers it up when she's in her respectable day job. Probably a good indicator of a dual-personality and lots of skeletons in the closet.

Any kind of tribal design, pixie, asian lettering, or butterfly tat is completely cliche' and a sure sign that this woman you are talking to has no personality to speak of.

Red flag regions: Waist, inner thigh, or vagina region tats. Big time whore alert. Probably involved in porn or "modeling" for a living.

I guess the foot falls between the ankle and the back of the shoulder?

She did say something odd to me as I walked into therapy for the first official visit 3 years ago, and that being that she works with the GBLT and/or that she was a member of that community, or something like that. And did I have a problem with that. To which I said no and we proceeded with the therapy session.

You gotta remember I was severely depressed at the time so while I said that I did not have a problem, I really wasn't listening too closely to what she actually said. She was whispering and I suppose she didn't want others to hear what she was saying to me.

I've probably got myself in a big mess.

Getting back to the original post, I started to think about what I saw on her body and any relationship to lesbians or perhaps Bisexuality. The articles I read online seem to say that there isn't necessarily any relationships. I suppose as the weather gets warmer and I see more of what she as in the way of tattoos, I may get more detail.

I attended a few OA meetings as a suggestion of my therapist. She also attended a few at the same time. There was an odd comment made by her during the sharing portion of the meeting where she referred to a "boyfriend". I thought to myself, that's odd. I then said to myself that there was no longer any reason to keep my feelings for her to my self. I actually couldn't keep it secret any longer. So, during a recent session I blurted out that I loved her and that was true right from the first time we met. After a few minutes she said that I had two options; 1. she would give me a referral for a different therapist or 2. If I could set aside my feelings (during our sessions) then she would be willing to continue with my therapy. Not knowing what option 1 meant in terms of our relationship (I didn't ask) I chose option 2 because I just couldn't live with the notion that I may never see her again.

So, this whole tattoo thing is something I can live without. I will make an exception for my therapist though. BTW She is the most caring and kind person I've ever met and I love her personality.

Cos the're cheap and they follow the crowd... most western women get one when they split up with a guy, its a sign of their freedom, so the more they have the more guys they been with right?

It puts me off bigtime, maybe I am a prude but I think it looks cheap and tacky and when they have them on their tits or ass, its just offputting thinking how many guys have seen this work of not so art!
