Thread Name: BS: Tattoos on Women
Subject: Tattoos on Women
I am a middle-aged woman and I see more and more women (all ages) with various tattoos. Some women have only a few, maybe a small flower or object and others have a LOT of tattoos everywhere!

I myself have never had any desire to have a tattoo of any kind but it just amazes me that in the last 10 or 12 years I have seen a tremendous increase in women getting tattoos.

So I was just wondering what others think about it? I really (personally) don't like it at all and not even too crazy about men with a lot of tattoos, but especially don't like to see them on women.

I guess a person could say, "Well, if men can have tattoos and have been getting them for a very long time, then why not women?"
I understand that thinking but....I still don't like to see them on women. Yet everywhere I go, the post office, supermarket, buses, malls, restaurants - I see so many women nowadays with tattoos.
You rarely saw women with tattoos in the 60's & 70's & even not too much in the 90's. But now it is so popular.
I actually think that more women these days are getting tattoos then men.

So I was wondering what you guys think about it? Maybe you don't mind seeing them on women you don't know but would hesitate for your wife or girlfriend to have tattoos.
Maybe you are more open minded and have the attitude, "Well, if that's what she wants to do, then it's fine with me."

I'm just curious though what other women and guys think about tattoos in general on women?
