re: tattoos

[redeye69]

I was wondering what the general consensus is regarding tattoos as i have noticed on a lot of profiles "no tatts" The reason being my partner and i will be going to the couples club in Sydney for the first time and i don't want us to get snubbed because i have them, normally i wouldn't worry but this is something new to us and i wouldn't want it to go bad because of them. I have many emotions and feelings about our new adventure but this is the only negative one any advice about this would be welcomed . This thread may sound trivial to some but i have been judged because of them before , that is every things cool until they see my arms, any other advice would be appreciated also. Thanks in advance

don't worry about it, just plan on having fun however you may define it. Sure some folks may decline to play because of the tats and other folks may decline for other trivial reasons. It's very probable that you'll find someone where there's mutual attraction and if not, your regular partner is unlikely to be "second best".

I have one, on my lower back. Most people don't have issues with tactful tats, I know people though that prefer you not to be covered with them though. Just a matter of taste, I have no issues unless you are super covered with them.

That must be a local thing, as we have not seen this on an ad around here.

These days, if a couple is limiting themselves to someone without tattoos, then they are really limiting their chances at a hookup.

Hmm...interesting...I have not noticed that in ads either.

I've never seen that in an ad either. Personally, I really like a classy tattoo on a lady. Now if you have the ole jailhouse tats, that would not be a turnon but I doubt it would be a deal breaker.

But different people are turned on and off by different things. That's what makes the world. I wouldn't worry about it, go have a great time, and if someone is not interested in your tats, well... that's their loss.

Thanks for the positive feed back. I only have 3 tattoos a panther, eagle and dragon all done professionally I guess its first time nerves as this has been a long time fantasy of mine and now its about to be realised, my partner of 20 years suggested we go for her 38 b'day some shopping for clothes first then dinner and a play then of to the club to have a look and see what happens , it gives me butterfly's every time i think about it which is most of the time.Any further advice would be much appreciated

Mrs Spoo and I both have tattoos. In fact, there was a thread here where people could (and did) post pictures of them. While not everyone has them, I think they are generally accepted.

Like others, I've not seen any ads that say "no tats", but it may be a regional thing.

We have "no excessive tats or piercings" in our SLS ad.

Just not attractive to me. Small ones are O.K. but ones that cover the arms, chest, etc. are just too much. Same with piercings in the nose, lips, gentials, etc. are just too much as well.

No offense to those that like them, but each to our own.

I'm curious about getting a tatt, but T doesn't think it's attractive. He said only if it's small and placed "on a feminine area", ankle, lower back, etc. it wouldn't be so bad, but would prefer that I never get inked. I guess he's affraid I would cover myself in tatts, because I think the "sleeve" tatts are awesome!

Both Mrs WS and I are tattooed more than once, and I can say it's never been an issue with any playmates to date.

If someone does say something along the lines of "no tattoos" in their profile they are simply stating their preference and you'll know they aren't for you. I'd say they are the minority though.

But, here is the clincher... we've had many people contact us stating they like women that are skinny, slim, etc. yet they can plainly see from both our profile and pics that Mrs is a full-figured woman. When I'll email them back saying I don't know if we'd be a good fit because of this it all of a sudden becomes a non-issue with them.

So maybe even the "no tattoo" folks take people on a case-by-case basis.

If there is any doubt, don't get one. You can't enhance the female body with inked drawings, in any case, and they are forever. You may one day regret it.

You can't enhance the female body with pieces of metal either, but you can at least take those out.

I don't like the look of being covered in tats, but they don't bother me otherwise. Like someone said, I bet if we did a poll as to how many people HAD a tattoo vs. how many did not, the did nots would be the odd balls.

Maybe I'll create that poll ...

[ShellyM]

Mmmm, I personally love tats on a man. Especially the bicep ones, I think they are very sexy.

[good times]

I am not a tattoo fan, but with one exception I have never refused to play with someone because they had them. The one exception is a friend of ours who is covered in, what I call "jail house tattoos", I just couldn't go there, even though I like her as a person, her tattoos just gross me out.

The funny thing is, I have never seen a "no tats" statement in an ad either, yet I know several people who won't play with someone with tattoos. I think that is because, now days, it is more socially unacceptable to admit that tattoos turn you off than it is to have tattoos.
