You're right, I quit going to the Louvre. I got so sick and tired of the same boring art!!!
Isn't that why one adds new tats constantly???

That's the same thing! If you can speak to men, then there's a problem!!!

Tramsey, I'm not entirely disagreeing with your thought process....., BUT it's pretty hard to confuse a tat on a normal person with prison gang tag tats unless you live in a vacuum! Being a cop puts you into a pretty conservative fraternity and probably speaks more to your stance on tats than the tats themselves. I'm not saying you don't know what you do and don't like, but face it, more young people have tats now than don't, so who are we old poeple to say what is right and wrong on young people.

I have photographed women both with and without tattoos. As far as I am concerned, Ido not prefer one or the other, but the ladies who choose to be inked need to realize that as they age, their tattoos will change, and sometimes these changes are not for the better.

Why are so many old codgers worried what a young girls Tatts look like when she’s 60.
As long as the 60 year old men like them, it matters not one bit to me.
If I like them now and their men like them when their sixty and they’re all tatted up and look the same, what’s the problem???
We’ll be LONG dead!!!

I don’t care, but some of the comments about the photos I have posted here seem to care, but I agree with you SS.

js, what's interesting is that tattoo culture in this country started mostly with guys in the military. Granted, they were some ugly ass tattoos! Now that tattoos have evolved into some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen, those same military guys that felt so avant garde when they were young, are now the most conservative of the conservative, so much so that they cannot accept social change!!! Maybe it's a control thing and they can't control the young so instead need to belittle them?!

That quote is older than you and I put together (and far more tired). Yes, everybody indeed has one, but they do not all carry equally odiferous outputs.
I'm not a fan of women with tat … not a deal breaker. Some of the tats are beautiful artwork. I saw a very young girl with a full body tat of green ivy from her ankle, up her leg, around her torso, over her shoulder and neck and down one arm; beautifully done but not so nice wearing a prom gown. I think … how is that going to look twenty years from now. My tats from USMC Vietnam have faded and are hard to read … I've seen a few 50 yr old women and their tats have transformed into wrinkled blobs lol
I wouldn't put a bumper sticker on a Ferri, I wouldn't put a billboard up in the Grand Canyon, and I would put a tattoo on a, otherwise, pretty girl.

Oh brother! I'm quite sure you aren't the only person here who ever had to take Introduction to Psychology in their first semester of Community College, but even folks who barely C'd their way through it generally came out the other side with at least a tiny inkling of introspection.
YOU began this thread - you ASKED specifically for what folks thought about the subject - and have since then have spent your time throwing around personal insults at the folks who've dared to disagree, and by asininely broadbrush stereotyping of everyone whose asked for opinions don't jibe with your own.
"Why are so many old codgers worried..."
"Give me a beautiful model with tattoos over a fat girl with no tattoos any day!!"
And yet, you have the unmitigated gall to accuse others of being belittling! For the most part, the only posts I've seen on this thread that are truly insulting of anyone, have been your own. You ask people what they think, and when they don't fall all over themselves in lockstep agreement with your assertions, you deride and denigrate and ridicule as has become so typical of the modern "cultural warriors" ("warriors"? Feh!) you so obviously champion.
I responded to an earlier comment regarding everyone having an opinion of equal weight; and you have repeatedly illustrated my point on that statement with repeated bursts of nauseating odor from your opinion-hole. So, thanks for making my point so eloquently.
