Who looks better with a tattoo? Men or Women?

[Miss_Piggy]

One more poll idea and then I promise I'll stop with the poll posting for a bit.

I was looking at my poll attmept on favourite tattoo locations and thinking to myself about how gender seems to play a significant role in whether or not a tattoo in a certain place is considered sexy. Of course, that isn't *so* suprising. But I do think it's interesting that gender plays such an important role in our thinking about this.

So here's the question,

Who do tattoos look better on, men or women?

Please be gentle.

I had to really stop and think about this one. I have to say I find tatto's equally sexy on both men and women. I guess how sexy they are depends on how sexy the person is to me.

Dito ! Mrs. wiscpl agrees with EvilMJ. How many tattoos a person has makes a big difference as well. For some, being covered with body art is attractive. We prefer it in moderation and both of us has a tattoo, her on her back just below her mid section and me on my arm.

I (the wife) find tattoos in moderation of course very sexy on both men and women. If the person is covered from head to toe in them it's not really all that sexy. Hubby has two one on each arm, I have one above my left breast(a very small dolphin).

I have to say that I find them attractive on both men and women. And IMHO the more the merrier! I have 19 so far, and have no plans on quiting any time soon. For those who judge a person by their tattoo's, it is no different than judgeing by color or race. You have no idea what kind of person I am just by looking at my skin. Most people can not believe that we live in the parsonage of our church, we are Southern Baptist's, and on the whole we are conservative people hubby and I.

Both completely equally.

i myself(wife) find it more sexy on a women then men,well it depends on where they are.....i don't like women who are covered with them but a couple here and there is sexy.......my hubby luvs the one i have on my lower back

I think that tattoos are like jewellry, a few enhance the person's look, but too many or too large are just ostentatious and spoil the effect. Location is also a big part of the effectiveness too, a tattoo that just peeks out once in a while is far more sexy to me than one that is always in view, it tends to become a focal point and takes away from the person's other features and personallity.

I think tatoos are art and are to be worn by both genders as to a personal peference.
I myself never had any and do not plan on any, but , feel free to express yourself and live life and be happy if it makes you feel good why not

hehehe piggy.. i had to pick the last one.. the poll is flawed. It isnt so much the tat on male or female as it is the person ( as a whole) with them. I noticed that alot of people said tats in moderation, and that is true but it too subjective. Who decides what is in moderation? If someone covers themselves in tats, are they displaying art or hiding from something ( or themselves)? If someone is completely against tats.. are they making an assumption about people with tats or just scared of neddles? ( yes, I am bored.. bring on another poll)

I'm not personally turned on by body art. It's hip now, but, I wonder what some of these people will look like when they reach their 70's or so....In fact, I think that 'Saturday Night Live' did a skit / fake commercial concerning that subject, which was very funny, but, somewhat true. It showed a nice young lady's ass cap, but, using 'Photoshop' altered it to show what happens later on. It was NOT pretty.....Pretty funny, though!
I have grown more use to seeing tattoos on males and females these days due to it's popularity, and, it's not a complete turn off. A nice lower back design is interesting to look at, and gives me an excuse to check out her butt. <EG> But, on women I'd recommend a tiny flower, fairy, or something feminine like that. Otherwise, I think that tattoos make both men and women look 'tough' or roughneck even when I know that most are just as gentle as I am.

Wife and I do not care for tats at all. We prefer a "clean slate".

Now pericing... I love them on nips, bb, and below as long as they are just one in each area. Too many spoils the pot. (I know, off subject) Wife does not care for anything but the ears. :rollseyes

I agree with this post with the exception that I have three tattoo's...One my left lower leg, another on the back of my neck and the last one on my lower back..My hubby has one on his left arm that matches the one on my neck...

I think they look equally good on men or women, if they're done right by a competent artist. I really don't like the ones that look like they were done by someone's cellmate.

I agree that they look equally good, as long as they're unique to the individual.
