I kicked a bloke out of bed for having Disney tattoos. Fucking awful. Can't stand either.

you are my muse.

Has anyone ever seen the TV programme ‘Just Tattoo of Us’. The contestants end up with some terrible tattoos. Funny but horrifying.

As soon as Robbie Williams and David Beckham jumped on the tattoo train, tattoos being cool was over. Everybody rushed to copy, everybody got the same and a lot of poorly executed tattoos are now doing the rounds looking shit.

it's funny that the sleeve style as popularised by Beckham now seems so dated. Far fewer young footballers have a tattoo sleeve anymore whereas 10 or 15 years ago they were all over the pitches. Having tattoos randomly dotted about seems to be the fashionable thing at the moment. But that will no doubt be overtaken by something else.

-Although a star or anchor = not very imaginative

They still tell you all you need to know about the person who chose to put them permanently on their skin - usually their arms or wrists. They are advertising they are incredibly dull people who think they are ‘wild’.

@WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles, I'm surprised you never manage to bore yourself with your schoolmarmish tone. And your endless essays.

Schoolmarmish! I love this, it's like a Chalet School teacher I actually did use to wear my hair in a big bun but sadly don't have any pince-nez.

I'm so happy to be schoolmarmish thank you!

PS Does this qualify as an essay? I could mark it myself in a schoolmarmish fashion

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 23/04/2022 14:46

Omg @VeganGod I just looked at that tattoo! That must have been painful and not just the bill...

Some of my DC also like tattoos and I've advised them cheap is definitely not the way to go, it's worth saving for a good quality one (and the best artists have waiting lists so it gives you a chance to save!) It also gives them a chance to be sure they want it, the permanence of getting something inked on you at 18 is a bit terrifying. (I shudder to think what I would have got at that age)

Tsuni · 23/04/2022 14:51

Do we really need an "am I allowed to not be attracted to someone I'm not attracted to?" thread every day?

If you don't want to date someone with tattoos, don't date someone with tattoos.

My cousin's daughter is with a tattoo artist. He is incredible. She's learning too. He's done some brilliant pieces on family members. I'm ink free though, as is DH. If I had one I know exactly what design & where I'd have it. And ask him to do it for me.

This is such addictive trash TV. Why would anyone go on this show?

Long time no type?!

Would someone’s tattoos change your attraction to them?

Should what you perceive to be ‘bad’ or ‘tacky’ tattoo’s be a deal breaker?

Went on a first date, got on really well. Went on a second date, got on really well but noticed some tattoo’s which I find a bit tacky and well…shit.

Does this bother people? I know it’s each to their own but on the whole, how much would it bother you if you were dating someone with crap tattoos😂

Indicates low impulse control so yes it would turn me off.

I honestly don’t know. The tattoos are just so bad. Just when I think they can’t get worse than the last one, they do. And I have found myself just not being able to look away or turn over. 😂

Never seen a swastika then have you.

Your head might fall off if you're offended by a naked woman!

No I've never seen a swastika tattoo.

Oh dear have I offended you? Was it you or your bloke at Donny market that day?

Alightjacket · 23/04/2022 16:35

My husband has some shit, outdated Chinese symbols he got as a teenager over 20 years ago. They don't even mean what he originally thought them to either. I still married him. He's a great laugh, very kind, great dad/husband/son/friend and works hard to look after everyone. We have a great life together. His shit tattoo makes no difference to that.

Low impulse control? I don't have tattoos myself, and I know some people get poor-quality tattoos done on impulse/while drunk, but judging by friends of mine who have them, they're very often planned meticulously and for meaningful reasons. There's often complex artwork involved. And it presumably requires stamina to sit through the pain. You can't really judge everyone who has a tattoo by the standards of 'Tattoo-Fixers'-style fails.

sonjadog · 23/04/2022 16:43

Low impulse control? Maybe for some people with tattoos but many people I know (myself included) thought about them for years before getting them.

gamerchick · 23/04/2022 17:30

And it takes months to get an appointment.

NowYouListenToMeFella · 23/04/2022 18:55

I have one tattoo that I thought long and hard about. There is a meaning behind it. It's not out of a flash book and no one else would have the same. It was pretty expensive but it's fairly crap. Had done a lot of research on tattoo artists and loved the work of the person o went to. Easily covered with clothes, but I'd really hope that someone wouldn't judge me for it.

SparklingStars10 · 23/04/2022 20:33

I have a couple of tattoos, not big or obvious, I would like another at some point. It wouldn’t be a problem for me, unless they were covered in them, or they were on their face/head.

BorderlineHappy · 23/04/2022 20:42

Such judgemental posts on here😅
As if you're all such great catches.

I don't care if you don't like people with tattoos.
Or you think they're stupid and not original.
I like my tattoos,I like getting tattooed.
That's all that matters.
I get them for me.

Same! Glad to see someone speak sense on this thread.

ImInStealthMode · 23/04/2022 21:43

As long as it wasn't offensive I couldn't give a toss.

I'm concerned about personality, interests and values more than tattoos. Having tattoos isn't the same as being a big football fan, diehard gamer or a drinker for example, tattoos have zero impact on anyone else's life.

PiranhaTank · 23/04/2022 21:52

Once my class of 7 year olds had an open afternoon to show their work and sing a couple of songs for relatives. One father arrived in shorts. He had an explicit tattoo all the way down his calf of a naked woman pole dancing. That, in my opinion, goes way beyond 'tacky' ....

Same1977 · 23/04/2022 22:43

People make mistakes and it can be just something you see like a birthmark etc,something that doesn't represent who they are or what they like anymore.I got a tattoo on my when I was 18,it was a rebellion thing.I have been meaning to get it removed .I would be upset if I had a good connection and someone took suck strong views on something that is so small and doesn't represent me in any shape or form.Of course people have likes and dislikes but isn't it the same as discriminating on other small physical imperfections?You can do what you like of course but it sounds shallow to me (personal opinion of course ) that one would judge without knowing the background.

As a friend of someone with a birth mark that has affected her massively, I don’t think a tattoo someone chose to have is comparable, even if you got it when you were young.

People can date/not date whoever they like, no explanation required. If it upsets the other person that they won’t date them because they have a tattoo, of for any reason at all, it’s tough. Attraction is sometimes unexplainable and very personal, anything can be attractive or unattractive to someone else. It can sound really shallow but we can’t make ourselves attracted to someone or something if we’re just not, nor should we try to. Attraction isn’t a choice. Don’t take offense, for every person that wouldn’t like a tattoo, there will always be someone else that does or that feels neutral about them.

Very awkward with a class of 7 year olds. 😬 Did the kids notice it?
