Question for the feminine part of BE

Skin is lovely. All of it. To cover with ink it is a detriment.

And Birdman is flat out hideous.

Strangely, I am rather fond of Delonte’s neck tattoos. That dude is odd and innocuous and strangely affable.

Birdman is odd too but not the slightest bit affable. He seems like a coldhearted tweaker who would steal the neighbor girl’s tricycle to raise a few bucks to buy his next fix.

Hope you don’t mind me weighing in Jorga I’m not a chick.

Trust me when I tell you, jorga, that Birdman’s tattoos don’t look any better in HD.

I dislike the vast majority of tattoos and most non-ear piercings. IMO, body modification just ruins what was already superb to begin with. If it’s subtle, it’s not that big of a deal, but so many people over do it.

I tend to like discussions on tattoos. I like hearing stories about what other people’s tattoos mean to them. Some good bits of inspiration out there.

an idiot. Some people just don’t conceal the fact that they are idiots, in fact they display it willingly. If I were George Karl, I wouldn’t even put him in the game to save myself the embarrassment.

bought him another tattoo for Christmas, and they are both incoming college freshmen, not tacky or trashy people.

It really depends on the age, background, and subjective preferences of various girls. I have 4 sisters and I am married and have a lot of female friends. I find that if the tattoo is well done and the guy is attractive, girls are all “Oh, tattoo, swoon” Conversely, if the guy is unattractive, the tattoo isn’t gonna make it any better.

I’ve never heard a girl say anything along the lines of “Oh, he’s nice, but he has that tattoo…”

Besides, getting a tattoo should be something you do for yourself, not because girls will or will not like it.

I thought he’d ask for their numbers.

But his tats are only part of the problem. He’s just not a good looking fella, period. Seems like he’s decided that ugly is his thang, and he’s seeing how far he can push it.

As for tattoos in general, they’re so ubiquitous that I don’t even notice them much anymore. They’re like shoes or sweaters— some are ugly, some are not.

The tats aren’t even good no rythm no fluidity its like an ink machine. Barfed on his body and he poured salt on it 2 make it stay. The hair is what reeally gets me. Only one man ON THE PLANET can pull that due off and his hottness is named Christiano Rinaldo who I think is Gay but still he is the most sttractive human male I’ve seen and even hotter than batum (I don’t have a problem w his bein gay mind u except it poses a problem for me :) lol) anyway yeah andersons tats r nasty and he wears fingernail polish and has ugly hair and no eyebrows and he’s clealy tryin2 b. A hardcore heroin sheek punk rocker who actually plays nba basketball makes millions and most likely sucks at the rock music. I’m bein presumptious now but he strikes me as a poser and that is equally as disguisting as his nocongruous tatoos…

It certainly isn’t attractive to me, or, I expect, most women. One or two tattoos isn’t repulsive in most cases but when I see anyone who has inflicted that kind of extensive and painful scarification on their own body, willingly, I suspect they have serious problems in several areas. I wouldn’t want much to do with them, probably.

but when you get a bunch of them or they are colored ink I think it looks bad. I wonder what guys like K-mart or AI who are covered in tats will look like when they are older.

They all can be hidden by long pants and a short sleeve shirt. I like tattoos that are discreet.

I love em. My fiance has 6, she loves em. But I wear a suit and tie to work. So they never show. I am not a fan of the sleeve movement but to each their own. Neck tattoos are absurd.
And on women, I like my tattoos small and sexy. No complaints there.
Also Birdman looks like trash, is a known tweaker, and well, his tattoos like jailhouse style.
One thing I always wondered. I am not rich, I am not poor either, but my job affords me lower to mid-middle class status. My tattoos are professional and look like art work. I pay for them to be so and its not cheap. Why do most NBA players tattoos look like jailhouse tats? They have TONS of money, so its obviously not a reason to go with a lesser artist? Is it the I am gonna let my friend do it? Very rarely do I see an NBA player tattoo and say, damn thats a nice tat. RARELY.

Shawn Marion or Marquis Daniels, who have tattoos that mean something different than what they say they mean…

comes from Hawkeye Pierce to Radar… “Why would you hang something on your body you wouldn’t hang on your wall?”

in both tats and piercings. I have friends with gazillions of both, but I don’t find excess attractive. Personally, I have no tattoos, as pain is not my friend; and (in my misspent youth) I had to get on the outside of a large quantity of tequila to get my ears pierced. Once. Note to impressionable youth: Don’t try this at home.

says it depends but tats are generally an on. Full sleeves are a definite an off.
