InfoSec21 It's quite clearly been drawn with skill, but I would find this off-putting. The last two guys I've kissed have actually had tats (clearly those deal-breakers are designed to be broken) but nothing that covers such a large area of skin. However, there are plenty of women who do like tats and it doesn't look like yours was a snap decision! 
Horses for courses.
Plentyoffishnets Lovemusic33 It's not you, lovelies, it's them. People you meet through OLD can be plain weird sometimes - it's the nature of the game. They don't feel accountable to social norms and think it's acceptable to just vanish.
RunnnyMummy I find trusting men from OLD to be hard, because we have no shared acquaintances and no background. With men from RL, often you'll know someone who can vouch that they're not serial killers etc. However, Mr Gym is a whole other kettle of fish.
I personally think that he treated you very poorly and you are trying to justify his behaviour because you are emotionally invested in him and want things to work. However on some level, you know you can do better and are just trying to drown that voice out. If you do decide to let him go, I'm sure you'll see things this way later down the line - you're just too close to see.
Take a step back outside from you and outside your body and imagine a friend was dating Mr Gym and he'd done the same thing to her. Would you be encouraging her to stick with him or run? Sometimes taking ourselves out of the scenario is the only way to be semi-rational.
Love makes fools out of us all.
I didn't want to listen to people here when they told me not to invest in Beardy, but they were right, because they weren't close to the situation like me and could see how he was treating me wasn't right. Sometimes when everyone is warning you to take care, there's a reason for it.
You are the prize!
