I can’t stand them! They are so ugly.

But then I had a girlfriend who has a tattoo of a banzai tree that covered one shoulder blade which was an absolute work of Japanese art.   However, random tattoos all over her body is a turnoff for me, too.  I have also found that I prefer them on slender, tight, muscular girls.  On robust women, they  sometimes get distorted when she either gains or loses weight.  

I used to not like them. Of course years back they were the signature of biker bitches. Now I can see the art in them and sometimes they are even sexy if done by a skilled artist. I don't like a ton of them or "sleeves". I will ask the lady if the tattoos mean anything personal. The answer has always been yes and then they explain each one and what it means to them. I know someone who has five and they all pay tribute to someone they love that has been or is in their life. None of them are big. Most can be covered by routine clothing if she wants to do so.

Some are incompetently done tramp stamps. But some are works of art.

Red Cherry is a Chinese movie about a real prisoner of war / slave who was tattooed by a sick Nazi General whose hobby was tattooing.  She was eventually liberated and returned to China.  
.  
Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter / Red Dragon had a tattoo of Blake's "The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun."
.
I have had some hostesses with tramp stamps but also some with extraordinary works of art.  Anybody remember the name of the touring Provider who was also a tattoo model (print and digital)? She hosted in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) but also toured the States and Canada. Her tattoo website was "Red" something. Usually blond; slender or average build. One of her ad photos had her on a spiral staircase.  Darn ...  
.
But to your question: in or out? I don't know. We do know that there are health consequences associated with tattoos and tattooing. Maybe that will be a factor? Some are seeing what happens to Grandma's tattoos as she begins to sag (kind of like a Mad Magazine fold in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Fold-in ) and are thinking about that.

EDIT: I remembered her name (tattoo model). Amsterdam. TER handle = Fantasia.

I can't remember the name of her non-escort, tattoo art / modeling website: Red something?

a bumper sticker on a Ferrari???  That is why I don't have any tattoos

Tattoos are a personal choice and should be respected as such. There's no need to label a provider as "trashy", "ugly", or of "lower worth" simply because they choose to adorn their body with tattoos. The number and style of tattoos a lady chooses to have should be irrelevant to the kind of person she is and the kind of service she provides. It's her body and her choice. If you'd prefer to only see providers with virgin skin, then by all means do so, but there is no need to speak so lowly of tattooed women. For every lady there will always be a gentleman who finds her traits and features beautiful and desirable.

Just please not on the face, neck and please not on the fingers....But a well designed tat on the thigh, side body is fine with me.

It's not a "banzai tree" it's a bonsai tree (pronounced "bone-SIGH," you putz.

I will say three "Hail Mary's" and go fuck a Kgirl for my penance.  

I am sure you've already guessed.

I still hate tattoos. You will never get me to warm up to them.

Everyone has their own preference and I respect everyone.  

You make up for it in OTHER ways . . . . .      

....on other people. If they're well done and I can make out what i'm looking at.  
I feel the same way about piercings too (loving how they look on others).

I hope not.

I don’t have any tattoos, and I have seen some lovely ones on some women I’ve been with. More often than not, though, a lot of people seem to go cheap on one of the things they shouldn’t go cheap on. The big killer for me is when women get tattoos around their nipples, all over their ass cheeks, or have those words of wisdom type tattoos where I guess they expect people to read them? I have noticed for the most part that usually they don’t follow the words of wisdom they had inked on themselves.

The small tattoo here and there doesn't bother me at all.  For me, the biggest tat deal breaker are thigh (front or back) tattoos. To each his own, and all that, but damn there have been a lot of providers that I would have loved to see but I just couldn't get past the overabundance of ink.  

...i've met a few women where the tats they have dont work....if done right,my god i love them...some of my best hangs are with those with ink...most are able to push to the limit the place where creative/erotic pleasure and pain intersect...yum

that's just not a very nice thing to say.  Mind your manners, dude.

To each his own and I respect that. No attempt to convert.
