I know the younger generations seem enamored with tattoos, but what about us Baby Boomers?

The more tats the greater the loser.  Tats are for the insecure.

Boomer here too, and I prefer skin sans art, but have booked with providers and dated civies that are inked.  It goes to the level of attraction.  But there is a tipping point for me, where it's just too much.  If the real beauty no longer shines through and all I'm seeing is the body art, then I'm passing.  

No tats, a few tats, lots of tats... makes no difference to me.  What’s more important is her skills, professionalism, and personality.  Some of my favorite providers have lots of tats.  Other favs have none or just one or two small tats.  

Too much ink is a boner killer for me, especially with large coverage areas of her chest and/or abdomen.

Tats would never stop me from seeing  a provider.  It just makes them less attractive.

... if you tell providers who have tats that they’re “losers” to their faces, or do you only think that the whole time you’re with them?

Where in his post does Lester use the word "losers" to describe women with tats?  

and then try to explain how my post was dishonest.

Every time I try to defend him I end up having to eat my words.  

Why would I insult people to their faces?  Should I go around telling ugly girls they are ugly?  I can have an opinion that a girl is ugly but that doesn't compel me to be "honest" and run and tell her.

But tats are choices, not a genetic mandate.  Choices have consequences.  It's tough love to say in a general manner that tats are hideous without naming names, so as to help prevent the next gal from mutilating herself on the alter of insecurity.
.
Tats = insecurity.  That's what I mean by loser.  An ugly chick who isn't insecure is not a loser.  A beautiful chick who puts graffiti all over her body is a loser.

who reads this board and has tats that you think she’s a loser, so why not tell them in person?  Insults are insults, whether delivered in writing or in person.  

Have you ever said anything critical about appearance, such as weight, clothing, hair style, hygiene, etc?

I said, “Your hair is a mess!  Get it cut for God sakes!  And how about shaving while you’re at it!”

Tats don't make the lady ugly but tats that are visible when on a dinner date can be an issue. As long as they are discrete, it's fine with me.

But not on the face, neck, or hands..
A side vine is sexy as hell, or on the tight. Maybe it's been my luck but the women I've seen who sport tats, they just are wilder than most. They have that crazy ass bohemian attitude.

I'll take your evasions as getting my point.

The only thing you’re demonstrating is how difficult it is to dig yourself out of your big, self-dug hole.

I figure most tattoos have meaning to the bearer.  That can be secret, or can lead to some revealing conversation.  It's not so much how they look to me, but how they function for the person who ordered them put on.  (If that was a pimp or gang, the meaning can be very distasteful indeed.)

I know one lady who has a textbook illustration of a human spine tattooed, in register, over her spine.  That sort of artistic irony or ironic artistry gets my respect.  It's not "pretty" but that's not the point.

The movie where the lead guitarist, Nigel, wore a tee shirt with a anatomically correct image of his skeleton.

Than when I was younger. There was a recent thread on a local board about the Danish Health Spa in Kittery ME, and one of their HOF providers Delphine. I was too vanilla to try her, seems I missed out, as others described her as "Liked the sex more than we did!"  
Agree, that as long as they aren't on face or hands, not an issue.

tats are a downer for me, I feel they never make you look better. If ain't broke you don't fix it. natural beauty is the best.

I really could care less.  Before COVID I frequented a lady who had remarkable body art.  A masterpiece.

was funny.  Lol

Been to many weddings were the bridesmaids cover their tats with makeup to try and cover them. If there so great why do they try and hide them

Sometimes it's a nice ice breaker to converse about her tattoos... sometimes I'm so enthralled with her that I don't even notice them until subsequent dates

instant turn off, if ait'nt broke dont fix it. the best you can due with tats is break even on looks. those with tats all over look like grandma wall paper. the worst is purple on whiter than white skin.

Total turn off! Male or female. One girl at a recent M&G in Philly had so many tats she looked like a walking Rorschach Test.
How bout that male porn guy Owen something, gross.

... disagree with the trend?  
I think tattoos are fine, because they generally mean something important to the wearer.  Asking about them can get a girl to open up nicely.  
Of course, in some cases any personal question can taken as intrusive and unwelcome by a girl, so it's best to start gently.  As with other activities ... .

Chicks are herd followers more so than men.  That's why it's trendy now to join the crowd and get tats to show their "individualism" i.e. to not standout in the crowd.
.
Further evidence of female inability to withstand peer presssure ...

"TikTok may have a worrying side effect on teenage girls, according to doctors, who've noticed an increase in patients showing up at their offices with tics. The rise in these sudden, severe physical tics among teenage girls has been associated with social media—because many had been watching Tourette syndrome TikTok videos."

I am in my 40's & started getting body art when I was 17. If you do not care for tattoos, please do not contact a provider who has them. My boyfriends love all my sexy & beautiful body art on my amazing sun kissed tan skin. Tasteful tattoos.

I think tattoos are disgusting- a defacement of the human body that goes nothing to make the bearer more attractive.

ba-doom.

Unfortunately, some people here (see post immediately above for example) have elevated being disrespectful, judgmental and distasteful to an art form.

Or we think tats are ugly.  

Personally I think ugliness within is the worst kind.

You mean everyone has to like what you like and dislike what you dislike -- otherwise they are ugly inside.

But you don’t have to be a dick about it.

It'd only be hypocritical if I had tattoos myself.
.
However, even then, i could be warning about mistakes in my youth.
.
Also I've never told someone specifically that their tattoos are ugly.  My comments are general. Now of course someone with tattoos might read my comments and be offended.  But that's life.  
.
By the way, I was born ugly.  So we all have our crosses to bear.

And by the way, tattoos aren't a state of nature.  No one woke up one day and out of the blue decided tattoos should be a thing.  Rather it is peer pressure, follow the crowd mentality.  I see so many young girls who just want to fit in getting tats, nose rings, and other bodily mutilation because they want to be liked.  It's very sad to see how many insecure young women are socially pressured into bodily mutilation and how we're all supposed to say how great it is for fear of offending them.
.
Hell no.  Don't follow the fucking crowd.  You don't need to mutilate yourself just to get liked by similar crowd following idiots.

Tats on the face and hands may attract some attention at fine dining locations.
