I prefer women who don't paint their faces. Eyelids are not supposed to be blue, for example.

That's all fine and good, but to say women who wear makeup are trashy and disturbed (lol!) is quite a stretch.

I for one would never judge someone as 'UGLY' because of something that silly. Actually, I find someone MORE attractive if they have well done and well placed tattoos.

We all have our preferences, I suppose. There are plenty of absolutely stunning women out there who also happen to have tattoos

Sabina Kelley is one of the most gorgeous people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Seriously. Google her... and yes, she actually looks like that in real life...her skin is absolutely perfect and her tattoos really are that bright.

I have such a girl crush on her

I also tend to think that people who get tattoos, especially those who have a lot of them, have something that's a little off about them emotionally.

Does anyone else, agree? Disagree? I'm sure the people who have tatoos will disagree and most of those who agree won't have them.
Know what I think when I see all these kids with goofy tattoos?

One day the brightly colored crisp tattoo on your shoulder will slide down your body into a wrinkly pool of stretched out blurred out color faded skin and look so ugly.

They all look so ridiculous to me.

Actually....tattoos on your arm will stay basically the same as long as you get moderately regular touch ups, keep out of the sun as much as possible (that' what causes fading) and don't lose/gain a huge amount of weight.

The tattoo ink that was used on older peoples are vastly different than the inks used today. They are longer lasting, and are less apt to fading. It also depends on how experienced your artist is. There's a surprising amount of technical knowledge you need to do a great tattoo. There are varying speeds on the machine itself, different types and sizes of needles and different types of inks. If the artist doesn't go into the right skin layer, the tattoo will fade or bleed a lot quicker. If the artist goes too deep, it will hurt more and could damage the lower layers of skin.

So...there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. A large part of it has to do with how the person takes care of the skin afterwards. Myself, I don't tan PERIOD. I might as well hold stock in lotions and sunscreen companies. I also wear large hats and carry an umbrella with me when I'm out in the sun. I use a special lotion on my tattoos every night after cleaning them thoroughly with unscented soap.

My oldest tattoo is nearly 7 years old...and it literally looks days old. I've also surprised tattoo artists on many occasions with the age of my tattoos. I take pride in them and take care of the accordingly.

Or do you just assume she's a prostitute or 'easy' because she decided to get her body adorned with color.

Kind of reminds me of the time I was at a business meeting a few years back with some of our regional managers (this was at a retail place I was managing) and a girl walked by with a tattoo on her back. 2 of the managers then decided to go on a rant about how trashy and 'easy' they were, making innuendos the entire time. They had NO idea that one of their store managers, the woman sitting right across from them had half sleeves (I didn't have my full sleeve done at the time.). The woman THEY hired and THEY were paying quite a bit of money to manage THEIR inventory.

Interesting how life works, eh?

Interesting, too, how some people get their panties in a wad because someone else dares to have an opinion that differs from theirs.

I consider Cindy Crawford as unattractive because of that mole too. If a woman wants to be considered a 10 --to me--she needs to have flawless skin, no makeup or tattoos or piercings.

Really? Interesting. I honestly doubt that you'll ever find a woman who has absolutely flawless skin without a single blemish, though.

I was born with a mole on the back of my neck... and unless it turns out to be cancerous, I don't plan on removing it, that would be silly. But, everyone has their preferences, so good luck finding that gal
