Back in my younger days I had two tattoos done, one on each bicep - both well done and in no way a jailhouse tat, since then people have drawn strange assumptions about me which have got stranger as i have got older.
Plenty of lasses seem not to like them so it is a question of taste but what do the majority think.

I am afraid I am one of these females who do not like tattoos. As for people having 'tasteful' tattoos, surely that is up to the beholder to determine?

Personally I dont have any but dont mind them on others, in fact Ive seen some really beautiful ones. The ones I dont like are the scruffy indian ink things on fingers eg: Love Hate and the A.C.A.B ones! Oh and the 'Borstal Spot' on the face, whats all that about??? 
Japan, I was thinking 'do I bring it up or not?'
In Japan tattooing was used to make criminals. They took the mark of shame and turned it into art, and a mark of honour with their own community, Yakuza. It means 'risk taker'. Tattooing is almost compulsory within the yakuza community. It is their for not used in wider Japanese society. To be tattooed is to be part of organized crime, or possible a fireman.

I lived in Japan for two years, and as de_sade has stated having a Tattoo will put you well out of the social norm. Only two types of people wear Tattoos “Yakuza†Japanese gangsters and Fire-fighters.
I don’t have any at all, and have no real desire to have any in the future. However I don’t mind them on others IF they are well done.

No, you're absolutely spot on. I was not allowed to go anywhere where my tattoo was on view, for the very reasons you mentioned. Not that they thought I was a criminal or part of the Yakuza, but the tradition and the emotional response tattoos evoke is very great amongst these sometimes too honourable people. It did not have the same effect on the younger Japanese women however, they loved it.

There I must bow to your experience....was it the old playing with danger thing? The same way some very nice young lasses in Britain go for the young 'yob'
No disrespect intended, but can you be to honourable?

I love tattoos on both men and women, as long as they aren't the tacky, old-fashioned Indian ink ones. I don't particularly like names on tattoos either.
Chris and I both have tattoos and we love them. Never had any complaints about them - if it put someone off that much, they aren't worth it - it's just ink, after all.

I love tattoos but not that fussed on Inkman ie covered in them :shock: I like to see them on the top of the arms and back. Full arm ones are ok but not just one on the lower arm and I don't like to see them on the neck either.
I've got 2 myself only small ones though. One's on my shoulder blade and I've got a new one on the top of my arm which used to have my ex hubby's name on but now is a lovely rose. I was told by some work colleagues that in the Phillipines, a woman with a tattoo is usually an ex con :shock:
Anyone watch Miami Ink on tv? Some of the designs are fantastic !

Still not been brave enough to get one 
and neither does Harry, but I'm definitely for them. Not the old dagger or provocatively dressed lady types but the well thought out intricate designs you see.
Some can be really scary though, there's a lad round our way has full facial tats in a Kiss stylee. Been told he's a nice lad but, hell, coming face to face with that on a dark night would scare the bejeezus out of you.

Now i have a nick reid that is provocatively dressed lady which represents Freud's treatise on man's dichotomous need for woman the madonna and the whore. Problem is most people just see a woman in halter top and hotpants. Shame really as a piece of art it is beautiful
I thought hard about adding to my small collection of tattoos. I wanted to have some larger peices done.
Realising that they are a turn-off for some people and that they sometimes cloud certain peoples opinions, I decided that I have to live for me a little and accept the drawbacks along with the rewards.
After all, I don't want to be sat some day, looking back at my life and wishing that I'd had the courage to do the things I wanted to, instead of conforming to the 'norm' as I saw my father do. He died too young, after worrying himself to the grave about what everyone else thought of him. What a waste!
I say, bring in the ink!

I like tattoos that are covered by a short sleeved t-shirt.
I like to be surprised by tattoos...... like a secret that is only revealed when having sex... dunno why- another wierd fetish perhaps...?
I have 2... but you would have to have sex with me to find them !!
So I am never gonna find out....dagnabbit - dying in ignorance, oh well
My best mate down in Brighton is a tattooist and she's nagged me for years to let her have my skin but I just can't decide on an image!! I like tattoos if done thoughtfully... I was swimming yesterday and saw a young lad with a very fit body but tattoos just scrawled all over him and it just looked messy and tacky.
I like them designed to curve round the body and I really like full sleeves on men rather than just itsy bitsy ones.
For years I wanted a shark (I'm mad on them especially great whites), done in tribal black ink style not a real depiction but feel it would look too butch on me! If I had one I'd want it big and bold and not the size of a freckle and that I suppose in turn scares me off for a first tattoo!
Been toying with the idea of having an octopuss on my lower calf and writhing around my ankle, in black solid line like a pattern (not everyone's cup of tea but I like the coils!).... I also love the work of Vince Ray who does fab 50's style S&M drawings.
Decisions.. decisions....
