Do you think tattoos add sex appeal?? Im gonna be goin and gettin some ink done next week with 2 of my friends..we have all been waiting for awhile 2 get one, and now..i figure if i get it..whats the wrose that could happen?? Some of my friends think that ppl with tattoos are sexy, some think it recudes sex appeal. What do you think??

uhh...im gonna b workin in a shop..ive learned from my father, im never gonna b a pencil pusher. He started off as an engineer and was doing repairs and installations of food packaging machines. Now in sales and is sooo freakin stressed out, never gets 2 see us cuz hez workin so much and absolutely hates it. If somethin happens and mechanic work doesnt workout for me, i can always do machinest work, i have background in robotics, and if worse comes 2 worse, if i do have tons of tattoos, i can still get a good job workin in an office. This guy that works with my mom is 35, has hair past his shoulders, plays guitar in a metal band and has full sleves of tattoos and no one cares. he wears long sleve dress shirts most of the time and short sleves sometimes..and no one cares. If you are so white collared that you think that every person with tattoos is like some punk or criminal or you cant stand to look over and see a tattoo for half a second that ur eyes are actually gonna be focused on it, get ur head out of ur a$$ and learn its a part of society. You wouldnt stare at some one with a physical birth defect or a physical injury like they are a freak.

Didn't you ask for opinions? Then, when people give you their opinion, you critisize them. Why? Some of us were just trying to point out that there are people that will treat you less favorably in some situations if you have them. Tattoos are just like clothing choices, hair styles, cleanliness habits, and other factors that form first impressions. Is judging based on these things prejudiced and ignorant? Perhaps. However, denying that it will happen because you don't think it should is even more ignorant. The question is: are there situations that you will be in where you will have unfavorable reactions from people due to tattoos? If the answer is no, I see no reason not to get as many tattoos as you want. If the answer is yes, the next question is whether you care. If the answer is no, again, go for it. If the answer is yes, you need to weigh the benefits and detriments. HTH.
