I was intimate with a partner this weekend and he has arm and back tattoos…. Tribal type. I’m really turned of him….

Aibu?

@Classica

I think the tattoo craze seems to be waning a bit. Young guys don't seem to be going in for those sleeves that were so in fashion a decade ago.
You may be right. I’ve noticed very few of the Welsh rugby team have visible tattoos anyway.

@alienbaby - it's ALWAYS been cool in my opinion - that 5000 year old mummy in the British museum with the tattoos? Cool AF.

I have a question though, were you a tattooist BEFORE it was cool?[/quote]
What does that have to do with it?

@Classica - you're right one full sleeves, with no space, done by one artist, are going out of fashion. Now it's about building up arm coverage over a series of years with smaller, seemingly disparate looking pieces, to achieve what we call a "patchwork effect".

How could I notice them when they are on his back?

However you would have seen them as soon as he removed his shirt. Why did you continue? You are turned off by tattoos so surely once you had seen them you should have stopped. Or did you force yourself to have sex with him?
