I personally think tatoos look very tacky.. Just because they are so "in your face" and they can't be taken off, what do you do when you want to wear a nice strap-less dress, what about business parties, and stuff like that? I have already decided never to get one, because I like dressing up, and looking super-classy, and i prefer accessories that can be removed! :) But that is just my humble opinon.

I'm glad you are tolerant of women with tattoos.

I am old fashioned when it comes to tattoo-ing. I cant stop thinking 30ish years from now, when my skin will be all wrinkly , those tattoo's will look diformed and pretty nasty on an old gal.
As someone mentioned, some jobs do not allow tattoo-ing. I like summer clothes, and I wouldnt be willing to wear long sleeves , or long pants just to cover my ink .
My husband has a tattoo on his arm, but now he regrets it ( he did it while he was in the army)
I guess each with their own taste.

Wow Veiled Lady, you really do have alot of tattoos and piercings but I see that around here and there.

Well that's what my sister does, she wears longsleeves in the summer that cover all of the tattoos on her arms. Of course her office is air conditioned so she's comfortable.

Tattooing on women is becoming so common though that it is getting mre and more accepted in all kinds of occupations, just like nosestuds on women are.

I think tattoos is a personal choice rather than a fashion statement 'cause I know few friends who refuse to get a tattoo at all although they're not conservative people. They just like totally bare skin lol without any adornments. Me, on the other hand, have a inconspicious tattoo that has a personal meaning and sums up who I am rather than choosing some popular design/art that you would regret later on (I've heard stories like that). I think tattoos are cool because they're art but if a person is covered from neck to down with tattoos...that's tad overboard.

Look like a biker Erika? Haven't you seen all of the women with tattoos in the world today? All kinds of women have tattoos!
You live in Minnesota. What part of the state? If you live near the Twin Cities there are tattooed women all over the place there! Have you ever been to the Uptown district in south Minneapolis? A woman who isn't tattooed is the exception there!
I live in western Wisconsin in the east suburbs of the Twin Cities so I know about Minnesota, or at least the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

C'mon lady. It is no longer just biker chicks who have tattoos! All kinds of us women do!
I have one of my tattoos on my upper arm. I often wear short sleeved dresses or shirts. I don't even worry about it! No one has ever said anything negative to me about it. They either compliment me on the design or usually don't say anything about it.
I like my tattoos!

I have two so far, it's addicting isn't it? I want to get more but I am not sure what I would want.

My daughter has some but I don't really like them. And she was underage when she got them and now is not allowed to donate blood. I also am experiencing the skin changes that go along with middle age and I cannot imagine what a tatoo that I got as a youngster would look like now. I am shocked enough at the changes in my face, arms, legs, boobs, and stomach.

Plus, as I think I have stated here before, when I was growing up tatoos were only associated with very undesirable people and I am having a hard time with the paradigm shift from white trash to fashion statement. My problem, I know but there it is.
