I say "Show me YOU... not some art work you had done to yourself."
What does it say for you the person? Other than you paid someone to modify your body To me, it says very little about the person inside. However, It's the main focus of your profile. Why would you think a piercing or tattoo would lure me to you... It won't. But you're really not looking for me.
Don't mind me... I've just seen too many primary profile photos today of proud owners of tongue barbells and tattoos. Maybe it actually works for them.

Right on Chat!
I think most tatts are tacky, and tasteless.
And the stupid butterfly on the lower back has become synonymous with red-necks, just like old Camaro on blocks in the front yard.

I agree with you that tattoo's don't lure me or entice me in anyway to date a woman.
I also think it's crazy to spend 2,500 or so on a huge back tattoo you can't see, nor will most people.
I would date a woman with some tattoo's, but they must be well placed, reasonable size and limited in number. I am dating a woman, not an art gallery or graffiti wall

RSS - a tongue barbell is a tongue piercing,
where there is a metal ball on both top and bottom.
Chat - both tattoos and body piercings are a turn off to me.
I see it as anatomical mutilation. Gross !
While some see it as 'art', I see it as horrid graffiti.
To me there is nothing more beautiful, than a well maintained (i.e. fit) female body.
Both tattoos and body piercings detract from that natural beauty.
However, it's your body ladies, do whatever you like to it.
I've gone out with several women who had small tattoos.
It didn't stop me, but it sure didn't attract me and I went out with them despite
the tattoos, not because of them.

Hmmm... I wouldn't say it's enough to make a person want to date someone. However, I like tats (most of them). There are tons of people that like body art, and if that's one more thing you have in common, so be it.

To each his/her own. I suppose I'm a bit of a hypocrit and I'm not even saying I'm right but I don't mind a man who has a tattoo regarding his military service, but tattoos up and down and all around tell me that that person does not want me to see them as they are and at my age I don't need to spend that much time working through the hieroglyphics.
Plus, what happens when those pretty little butterflies get into a battle of mid-life gravity? Not so dainty now, is it ladies? It doesn't really matter to me, but when I look at men and women with these full back tattoos and whatever else they choose to hid themselves with I'm glad I raised 4 sons that have some common sense. That is absolutely what I think when I see it.

I have an angel tattoo with my aunts name on it, another angel tattoo for my sister that died 7 years ago and a bird of paradise. I have not regretted any of them

OK, let me pose this situation/question...
Let's say you meet an unusually attractive woman in the health food store. You strike up a conversation that leads to instant chemistry. She's friendly enough and you ask if she's married or involved in a relationship. She answers no and agrees (because you asked) to give you her phone number. You go on a few casual dates and each one gets better. By the third or fourth date things become relaxed and you go to her place to pick her up for a date. She invites you in and offers you something to drink while she finishes the last of her makeup.
Somehow the two of you end up back at her place after the date and get to taking on a more romantic level. She talks about the long hours at work and how stiff her neck is and asks if you will massage it for her. She turns around, loosens her sweater and lowers it just enough for you to see the top of a tattoo. Before you get a chance to comment, she tells you she got a dragon tattoo while studying college in Asia and offers to show you the whole tattoo.
Before you can stutter "Sure" she's nearly undressed and the dragon goes from the top of her back wrapping her buttocks and the tail and claws partly wrap around her sides...
It's absolutely the most detailed tattoo you have ever seen. The coloration and artwork is simply stunning (along with her tender body) and you are trapped making some quick decisions... is she a 'walking graffiti wall' and you shun her away or is the condom that's been in your wallet 18 months still good?

Tats are a major turn off to me, but to each there own! I wouldn't want to read something that I was making love too. I can see it now, you shout, don't turn over yet honey, I haven't finished the Charlie Brown column yet.

She still a graffiti wall in my mind, remember it was her who did the seducing and who didn't tell me about the huge dragon tattoo. So, at that point it's a mute point.
Now, if she told me ahead of time, I would say I am not into tattoo's, Here's why, because most people who get large tattoo's or more then 4 small one's usually end up with a whole lot more of them.
Now, I do think dumbbell nipple rings are sexy as all hell as are belly rings.
Would I tell her, that i don't find tattoo attractive, yes. From there we wouldn't be dating.

How is it any different then people women who say then won't date short men or men who have issues with women who are overweight, both groups are just making a choice of what they like and don't like. now, I would rather date a woman who was overweight then one who is a graffiti wall.

Teddy... it's not so much about having tattoos/piercings or not. It's about putting all the emphasis of (luring a person to) a relationship simply because someone has tattoos/piercings.

If anyone is superficial enough not to date someone because of body art rather than what's inside that person then that's enough for me to reject them. I'm pretty outspoken when it comes to judging others. I've had plenty of guys say I don't like tattoos in their profile and then see mine and try to back peddle. It's like open foot insert mouth. Once said you can't take it back. I for one got my tattoo at the age of 52 and I love it. I was fortunate enough not to have gotten stretch marks after having three kids. I have good skin and with exercise I expect my tattoo to look good for quite a while. I'm not here to please anyone but me. That's just how it is. Stereotyping isn't true either. I have one large tattoo and I contemplated for four years before I got it and I am glad that I did. I love it. It's very symbolic to me. By bidding on the gift certificate for my tattoo I was contributing to breast cancer research.BTW...I wouldn't date a fat man but I would date one with a tattoo. To each his own. Glad to view your comments.
