I prob should not speak on ink but I'm into ink but also can go the conservative side as well. I used to wear specific suiting for a previous job and one would not know but I took this Thanksgiving week and it shows ink. So those who said it's ugly as - - ck I am not upset I just wanted to post my own opinion and YES there have been many ink or tattoo threads I have commented and had the guts to post a comment here even if it means being bashed by opposite opinion. Good eve ~EB~

Part of the visceral reaction, I think, is coming from people of my age (60) and up, because it is a generational thing. The cultural meaning of tattooing has changed. In my day, it was nearly unheard-of on women, was a (lower) class marker on men, and pretty much screamed "trailer park," at best. No longer true; now, it's fully mainstream.
My preference is no ink, but it doesn't become a strong preference unless she's pretty well paved with it. As I said above, my "regular" has a lower-back tattoo, which I think she'd be slightly prettier without, but it certainly doesn't detract from my enjoyment of our times together. (She probably thinks I'd look better with some freakin' hair on my head, and I agree -- that would be a definite improvement.)
In any case, I surely hope no one bashes you in this thread.
