Could you marry a woman with tats?

I never understood this issue with so called 'tramp stamps', if a man has a tattoo on his lower back is this a problem?? I've seen some amaaazing tattoos on girls backs, I see them as no different from tattoos anywhere else.

Because, if you read the rest of my post, you'd have understood.

if I start reading a book that turns out to be some romantic novel that has raptor riding vampires battling cowboy werewolves on the cover then I'm emailing that publisher :pac:

This is off-topic but... I want this book cover.
And the book it corresponds to.


On-topic: One of my sisters got a tattoo when she was living abroad in Australia.
It's because she really enjoyed her time there, and wanted to have a permanent reminder of her year there.

I think that's a great reason to get a tattoo; to remind you of something you'll always want to remember.

Some tattoos are a bit distasteful, or tacky- like people getting tattoos while drunk, or before thinking it through properly and ending up with something they'll hate later- but I'd never judge a person for having one, even if it's a Chinese symbol that they don't know what it actually means... (Okay, I'd judge them a little for that one.)

Anyway, tattoos, I'd never get one myself but I'd never refuse to go out with a guy because he had one. :rolleyes: There's plenty of good reasons to get one, and plenty of tasteful tattoos.

Thinking of it, is the real question here not "Why would a girl want to marry a guy who is very controlling?"

I read all of your post. It's a general thing that people take issue with. I actually don't believe that not one woman you've met with a lower back tattoo is deserving of your respect. Unless you happen to meet a lot of idiots, in which case, it's nought to do with the tattoo

Thought it was funny. With body paint, you can do whatever you want, but it ain't permanent.

My tattoo is in one of the grey areas, what does that mean for me

It means that you are part of "Other"...a statistical anomaly where things that are outside the normal distribution (bell curve) fall and spiral forever in a state of non-entropic flux.

English please.

O you cant understand? Well ok, you did not marry a girl with a tattoo. Was this because you dont like tattoo`s. Or did you think of this question long after getting married. I mean, a lot of mens wives probably dont have a tattoo. Is this because they would never marry a girl with a tattoo, or is it that a lot of women just do not have a tattoo, or as you put it in your fine english, tats?

No-one, or the OP? Cos the OP is already married, so we might as well tattoo every square inch now, cos that ship has sailed

Ya but take for example when you are on a sun holiday together and she strips off to reveal a skanky tat. I'd feel uneasy anyway.

Ah each to their own. If you liked the lady who cares what anyone else thinks.

Depends on the tat, I mean if it was something tasteful like this.

It probably does.

In conclusion I wouldn't marry a girl with tats droopy boobs which is why I didn't

tattoos used to stand for something right, where not consigned to sailors or navy men like dreads on a white person 20yr ago you knew he was an anarcho crustie, now its just a casual hipster thing, much like tats but sometimes they are contradictory i know this dirtbag who has a massive 'Unknown Pleasures' across his chest n lets just say he has been around, both sexes :pac: sure he discovered JD albeit during the recent commercial exploitation of em but still, i think having no tats is a bolder statement now

1. She took photos. But photos capture a single place, a single moment- not an emotion.

2. You can lose photos. You can lose possessions. You can't lose a body part.

3. She wanted to remember her trip in a different way than you'd choose to remember yours.

It means its above the hairline and the op wouldnt of noticed it, for now anyway.

they do, in many circles........that's why I've always preferred baps.

anyway....to give my take on the whole thing after literally minutes of carefully considered reasoning.

I don't really like people much...I dont really like tattoos much and I dont really like body piercings either (especially anything in the eyebrow/nose/eyelid/lip/cheek area etc - what I call the disfigurement zone) but the other day I happened to catch sight of a birthmark I've got on my back (shoulderblade area) and thought to myself it would be much improved if I put a bit of an edge around it, to sort of give it some definition/contrast and perhaps some restrained flame detailing on its outer edges.

so I suppose at the end of the day if its O.K. for me to have a tattoo then I suppose its O.K. for everyone else to want/have one too:eek:

and if anyone was to be interested in marrying me (hopefully this wont happen) then the presence or absence of a tattoo would be the last thing I would be concerned about although I would have to turn down her advances I fear if she had a barcode on her forehead or triad symbols on her knuckles (especially if they were hairy) etc etc

yours etc

You must lead a very sheltered life then, and not meet many woman.
Lots of women including me have tattoos, and it hasnt made me a different person!!

Great poll OP!

mystique150

looks like 47% of men will pick up where you've left off BG!

BTW how do you screen potential wives for tats? I imagine you are a proper gentlemen on the dating scene and don't strip search new potential wives on the first date?
