mzduncan1999	They can be attractive if done tastefully and they need to have a meaning! I am a mother of two and I have seven tattoos. They are placed in discrete places and each one has a specific meaning. The design needs to "mean" the same thing the day you get one as the day you die, because they will last that long. So, if you are thinking about getting a tattoo put some thought in to what it would mean to you in five or fifty years. You might want to even design your own. Tattoo artist can draw up a design for you using your ideas! Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

January	I think there is a limit! A couple of tatoos maybe, if they could be covered up, but not like all over - i don't understand why people do that. I have 1 tattoo on my lower back and no its not a tramp stamp! I was a senior in high school and going thru the stage i want a tattoo! My boyfriends mom went with me for my graduation present! That was 5 years ago, but shes gonna be my mother n law soon! Yep we are getting married in June, I'm excited, but anyways... it still looks good, and it can be covered up. They are only trashy to me when people take them to far and like cover their whole arm or something, that to me is nasty...and they are not really attractive i don't guess, but I guess it tells you something about a person! The same as peircings it think. I mean you can take it to far where it looks trashy, but a few looks good! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kaloptic	I don't find them attractive neccessarily, but as long as it's not too out of hand, like 30% or more covered, I don't have a problem with it. It's not something I would do to myself though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dpacman	Not really diggin' tats. Skin is good, but why "decorate" it with a permanent solution. People are so fickle, how can they get a tattoo and NEVER regret it. I think that is why the tattoo removal business is booming. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

txhypnotist	First thing: If a person takes care of their body, art work will not improve their looks. Most tattoos are not well though out, just a last minute dare or a in memory of type. The only female I have seen which it enhanced her looks, was a lady with a real thin Ivy which wraped around along her bikini line and followed the contour of her body. It looked great on her. I follow the rule, "Less is more". Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

amazinggrace	Minimal, on a young person, alright but those mega tatto-ed individuals, yes, those are indeed, nasty Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jack.Bauer	Nasty. They get worse with age, are distracting in the sack and cause impotence in men. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Proud Mommy	I think tattoos are nasty because people over do it. I think if someone gets a tattoo they should put it somewhere it can be hidden at all times, and that it should be very small. I had a friend who had one on the side of the base of her foot. It was a very small dolphin. Where it is located it is always hidden unless she doesn't have shoes on. She even wore a pair of sandals that day to make sure she could hide the tattoo with the strap. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

al_dickey	Tattoos turn me RIGHT OFF! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Moshi	Nope. Tattoos don't do anything for me either. How about those disc or ring things that some have embedded in their ear lobes? Merrrcy Sadie!! But,...like you said--"to each his own!" EVERYBODY out there in Y!A "land"--Have a great day!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

not_prfikt	I do not find them attractive at all. I would never sit through the pain of someone continually sticking a needle in me to do their "artwork" on me. Not to mention the potential health risks. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kevin	I can go either way .. it depends on the tattoo, the person, the location, etc. And some thought as to what it's going to look like when you're 70 is important, too, I think. "Grandma! What's that ugly big vulture on your leg?" .. "It used to be a pretty little butterfly" :) I've thought about getting my girls' initials put in small letters on my shoulder. But they're almost four and I haven't done it yet, so I'm not positive that it'll ever happen. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

deedlebay	Depends on what it is and where it is. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
