Mine are Watercolour and Trash Polka.

I only like small inconspicuous ones, that aren't obvious.
A rose on a shoulder for e.g is quite nice.
I hate the big ones and sleeves, that are obvious and shown off.

People are entitled to look how they want though.

Babababababybel23 · 30/12/2017 18:35

Butterflies, dolphins, flowers, stars.
The only tattoo I've seen that I like is rihannas paw print one on her neck

Ratinthehat · 30/12/2017 18:37

My massive dragon on my back. Only one I got and I don't like it.

I think that Mandala tattoos are overdone at the moment and I hate neck tattoos but people can get what they want tattooed on them that's the beauty of self expression. Me and dh both have a few tattoos (My dhs are very visable) so I shouldn't really judge haha

sweatylemon · 30/12/2017 18:56

Don't like any style, sorry.
Everyone seems to have one these days.
I like not having one

dustarr73 · 30/12/2017 18:59

I do think certain styles have a lifespan.You could nearly pinpoint the year when some of them where done.

I blanche at pornographic, racist, bigoted, vulgar (eg., like an Arsenal fan pissing on a Chelsea shirt). Most aren't like that, thank goodness.

PipGirl404 · 30/12/2017 19:04

Stars, hearts, "infinity" symbols and just really common basic ones.

But I'm a tattoo snob and have custom bits done and baulk when my friends get butterflies and semi-colons. Grin

On people in general anything on the face.

My own (of which I've got about 25) tribal on base on my spine. Loads of people refer to it as a tramp stamp.
I was 17 and stupid and wanted a tattoo so went and picked one off a board.

In general I love seeing people's tattoos. It's a great insite into them as a person and there are some stunning pieces out there.

dustarr73 · 30/12/2017 19:06

I have hearts and stars and tribal and chinese writing.Im a mishmash of stuffSmile

Poorly executed portraiture - which the owner is really proud of and thinks is perfect. I would never, ever say anything obviously, but it makes me cringe a bit.

Santasbigredbobblehat · 30/12/2017 19:08

Had to google Trash Polker.

I’m not keen on the geometric animal ones.

Don’t have any myself, so my opinion is not worth anything.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 30/12/2017 19:09

All types.

I regret mine terribly.

NC4now · 30/12/2017 19:10

Names. I prefer something symbolic.

dustarr73 · 30/12/2017 19:11

I think the watercolour ones are going to look like bruises in a few years.I dont think some of them have enough definition.They look beautiful when done.

Sugar skulls because of the cultural appropriation.

Elaborate deep and meaningful personalised designs that represent x and y. Rather pretentious. Mine just look cool/pretty.

MikeUniformMike · 30/12/2017 19:16

I don't like any.
I find children's names and DOB ones a bit weird. Useful if you have a poor memory I suppose.
The worst I saw was a
Grandad
DOB - DOD
RIP
one on someone's back, It looked like a tombstone.

Dancinggoat · 30/12/2017 19:18

I dislike any that are the craze at the time. I like tattoos that have a meaning or are a personal idea or design.

TossDaily · 30/12/2017 19:20

I have four, and I like them all, thank goodness.

The worst one I ever saw was a back piece which was a reproduction of a wedding photo. Probably the owner's parents or grandparents.

God, it was awful. Imagine having sex with someone while their nana and grandad squinted up at you! Shock

dementedma · 30/12/2017 19:28

names of children and dobs are really tacky

SnowannaRainbow · 30/12/2017 19:32

The only ones I really don't like are the ones that look like the skin is ripped to show something underneath, like this.

Those praying hands on the neck.

crazycatgal · 30/12/2017 20:04

Children's names and DOBs - very tacky.

starzig · 30/12/2017 20:26

Definitely child tributes here too.
Also the small swallow, devil, dolphin etc... on bum, shoulder etc...
I prefer them to be part of your identity and not just some kind of follow the crowd thing if that makes sense

fairgame84 · 30/12/2017 20:30

Cartoon characters like Winnie the Pooh or minions. Horrible and tacky.

I see a lot of beautiful tattoo's though.
