a great example of a little ink and some "edginess" being beautiful. I found another pic of her with a very different look I like quite a bit as well.
The gal I posted... no idea who she is. I just grabbed a quick pic from a 30 sec Google search to illustrate my point. There is NO shortage of beautiful, sexy, inked gals (and similarly no shortage of beautiful, sexy, uninked gals).
While having drinks with some civvie friends Saturday night, the topic of tattoos came up. Among the talk of aging and health and body changes, one guy brought up that his shoulder fraternity tattoo had shriveled after rotator cuff surgery forced him to cut back on the weight training.
Of course, being men, we then turned into into a woman's issue.
Growing up just before the Panama City License Plate phenomena exploded in the 80s and 90s, my friends and I share a bit of a bias against tattoos. We as a group (civvie friends and myself) don't rate tattooed women to be as beautiful physically as un-tatted women when we look at women in public or the pics on various sites like the Chive - where you see arm, neck, back...(not just small of the back) tats.
Don't misunderstand me. Many of my friends married PCLP gals and they are sweethearts - same as many of the providers here. Love the person beneath, not just the skin. Yet the wives swear that childbirth 'ruined' their tattoos, or they come up with other reasons for 'tattoo remorse' these many years later.
Also, in the Hobby, we do tend to rate physical attractiveness a bit higher than other aspects - since we don't know the person beneath (yet) and we tend to just want the service and be done. No strings attached, right?
So.... my queries to the group (men and women). Tattoos in general:
Distraction, indifferent, or love?
Does location matter to you?
(For those of you opinionated about them) How many is Too Many?
Any regrets having the tattoos you have?
Curious, ga_kosh
P.S. - my answers:
Distraction
Yes, anywhere visible in public is a problem.
More than one is too many.
I have no tats myself to regret.
I don't find them distracting, but interesting. Especially if they're well done. I have 7 in total and no regrets on any including the one on my hip that at least a dozen people told me would be distorted after having a kid, it still looks the same as when I got it 12 years ago. I don't have a preference on location and know from personal experience that no matter the location, it's easy enough to get them covered for an event if needed. 
Any tattoo on the neck(especially a name), will immediately cause me to lose interest. PCLP is fine, even some ladies look fantastic with back pieces and partial sleeves. I personally haven't found an artist who I trusted enough to put ink on me.
but I still remember the name of her ex that he had tattooed as a tramp stamp. His name was Eduardo, and every time I fucked her doggie, I would slap that ass and shout "take that Eduardo" lol.
I have been drunk as a fucking skunk as a teenager in the Army and never succumbed to the peer pressure to get a tat. forty years later I see no reason to get one now. I don't really mind them that much, but I still subscribe to the opinion that any woman who looks good all tatted up would look even better without them.
Ok, that's the funniest thing I've read in a while!
"Take that Eduardo!".
Yeah, it might be a bad sign if she had a bunch of names all crossed out. LOL

...By the 80's I had two kids and a job (or two). I never heard of the Panama City License Plate.
inquiring minds, want to know...lol....
a.k.a. Tramp Stamp, generally some kind of "tribal" design located on the lower back, just above a fantastic ass =)
I hate mine! I was so young and dumb...I regret that...immensely.....oh well...it's there, but I don't see it, so out of sight, out of mind? LOL!
Back in the day, the stamp of approval was a sure sign of those who did =)....And I used that knowledge to my advantage quite often.
My imagination tells me it's the tats just above the ass crack.
I used to never really favor a lot of ink on woman, but over just the last couple of years I have developed a new attraction to seeing nice tats in really sexy places on women's bodies. I've even recently been cconsidering getting my own first tat. These times, they are a' changin'.
BUT, well designed tramp stamp is ok sometimes.
tramp stamp or PCLP is good along with
a tongue piercing
Generally not a fan of tatts on a woman, but had a visit with a provider recently who has a very well done, understated tatt between her shoulder blades that perfectly matched her sexy personality. As for PCLPs or tramp stamps - I call em "reading material."
with an escort tattooed on its ass.
I would say that I can't wait until tattoo's go out of fashion, but the people who've gotten them will still have them. They'll look terrible, but I'll be even older, so I will as well.
One or two small ones don't bother me. More or larger and I lose interest.
An Escort tattoo? I would think a classy person would have done something like a Mercedes or Ferrari.
There is a right way and a wrong way.
Here's an example of the wrong way.
When done properly...
Yes. And there is the "if you go - go big" school of thought, too.
Rawrrr!
You have to insert $100 bills now. Coins just won't do anymore.
Great pic electr0n.
Here's an example of the wrong way.
Agreed.
I think most take credit cards now as well.

Sort of like spandex. Good ink on a kicking bod can be really sexy. Tori Valentine for example. Some of her pics are just freaking awesome where the lighting, the lingerie and the ink really go together.
Not so good ink on a not so good bod - really not so good. Again - sort of like spandex. Good on very few women. Lots of examples - not gonna pick one out - we all know a few. In those cases - no ink would have been a better choice.
Would I like it over a long period of time in a life partner - not a problem in the world of P4P. Honestly not my problem if it looks like hell in twenty years...
I would say that the vast majority of women I have been with have tattoos. Most really should not have. But I still have lots of fun with them regardless
Great post!! I have my one tattoo and I wish I hadn't gotten it... My boyfriend and I got matching date tattoos of our anniversary. Smh... Guess where he is, guess where I am.. Answer: not sure where he is!
The redeaming quality is its small and on my back. His? On his bicep. Yikes!!
Ah well! At least it's not a tattoo of his name!!! LOL!!
Some women have them in memory of friends or lovers that have passed. I know of a provider that has one. She was military in Iraq and lost a best friend to a roadside bomb. Your heart goes out to a lady with a tat like that.
everyone has a different opinion and interpretation of each piece. The only "right" opinion is your own.
I personally have no problem displaying art I love, seeing a movie I like (regardless of the critics' opinion), drinking a wine I enjoy regardless of it's "rating", etc.. And I'll have as much of each as I choose.
It's all about what you like, freedom of choice, and the confidence to choose freely; unbiased by the opinions of others.
Beautiful women abound, whether tattooed or not. Sometimes I find that the tattoos detract from her beauty, and sometimes that they add. I just can't make a sweeping generalization about all.
I think we all need to get used to tattoos, as about half of women ages 25-40 have them (and more and more continue to get them).
Tattoo beauty:
Master Zen! Who is that beauty? Yowsers!
I totally agree with your last statement...tattoos aren't going anywhere.
I am not a huge fan of tattoos, but they are one of those things that to me are high risk, high reward. A beautiful girl with bad tattoos for can drop a lot of points on the beauty scale. However, a beautiful girl with well-placed/well-designed tattoos can shoot off the charts and blow my mind! One good local example is Brooke over at Gold Club...she's really pretty naturally but her tattoos just add to her beauty, IMHO.
Also, I recently found a pornstar by the name of Kleio Valentein...she recently played Ronda Rousey in a porn parody. Holy cow is she hot with tattoos

I wouldn't see either one. For me, they're way over the line of what's tolerable.
It's about age. When I was young, the only people who had tattoos were ex-military (usually got drunk and woke up with a tattoo), criminals, and outlaw bikers. If there was a guy on a motorcycle at the stoplight next to you, and he had tattoos everywhere, it was almost certain that he was also wearing gang colors.
Truman Capote, author of "In Cold Blood", interviewed many serial killers. When asked if there was anything they all had in common, he said they all had tattoos.
The only women you saw with tattoos were in motorcycle gangs, or at the freak shows at carnivals.
Capote also said, "Be anything but a... whore..."
Considering our shared hobby, I'd say he may not be the best opinion to follow.
And surely that wasn't the only thing the serial killers he interviewed had in common. Weren't they all males?

I'm not saying tattoos are good or bad. I'm just illuminating the difference in attitudes towards them from the 1950's and 1960's to now. I remember in the 1980's when they were just starting to become popular. It was pretty radical. Now, about 40% of people between 18 and 35 have tattoos. Only 37% of providers in TER reviews have no tattoos, and 63% have at least one.
Literally everything has the potential to become toxic if you are exposed to too much of it or exposed to it in the wrong way.
I'll oversimplify to illustrate: Are salt and sugar toxic? Well, not generally speaking. But if you consume too much of either, they can be. In fact, salt is about 10 times more toxic than sugar when ingested. Technically they are toxic, but are of low "toxicity" as usually consumed.
Back to tattoo inks...
Many tattoo inks have contained ingredients that carried a fairly high degree of "toxicity" and could easily become toxic for some or even many people. Black ink often contained benzo(a)pyrene and phthalates known to present risks of cancer, immune system and endocrine problems. Other colors contained heavy metals like mercury, lead and cadmium. While the potential risks were present, the small doses associated with a single tattoo or two were low enough that a tattoo rarely actually became "toxic" - at least in a way that was noticeable. There was a greater risk associated with infected needles and the like when it came to tattoos.
Now we have "big ink", with more and more people getting more and more tattoos. Bigger doses, more risk, and more cases of tattoos becoming "toxic". Over the past 10 years or so, more studies of tattoo inks has caused a greater awareness of risks. Most manufacturers have reformulated to get rid of the more toxic ingredients. A few now specialize in non-toxic, hypoallergenic inks.
I'd recommend that anyone getting a tattoo make sure to use a safe, hypoallergenic ink.
As for your Doc... he is technically correct. If you don't need something in your body it is always safer to leave it out. Life (and people) are rarely so simple and predictable.
This came up in another recent discussion. Personally, I don't like tattoos and make this part of my selection process. Same thing goes for smoking and implants.
