Are tattoo-less men a bigger turn-off as time goes on?

[GS_PL]

Without having any true data to back up what I've seen just very recently, it seems as if getting tattoos is waning with people's interest. That might not be entirely because of a lack of wanting to get them more so than cutting back on expenses.

It appears when I am in public places seeing couples, guys with tattoos are highly more likely to be in a relationship, even if it's for just a one time date compared to their ink-free counterparts. Why is this? Does ink free skin equate "dull"?

They no longer have the connotation of being only on "bad boys", which is an overly discussed topic already. I prefer the company of tattoo-less people for myself, as that's not at all an opposites attract situation for me. I'm sure they're out there, but I have NEVER witnessed a major inked-out lady with a non-tattooed man.

While I do have a preference for men with tattoos it's not a deal breaker. I've dated men with no tattoos at all and never found them to be dull

I have tattoos and I love tattooed bodies. I don't think inkless people are ugly or boring, I just have a thing for body modification generally.

Scars turn me on too.

Random thought on topic..

My coworker who I have a lil crush on, I didn't even know he had tattoos for like, 2 years. One day he got hot and felt kinda sick and took his shirt off for a few minutes and turns out he has body tats. It didn't make him "more attractive", but I was surprised.

So I don't think untatted people are boring. I wait to hear the things that come out of their mouth before I make that internal judgement.

For me, tattoos are a huge turn-off... nowadays non-tattoed men are so scarcely seen that they draw my attention. Anyway, it has nothing to do with 'badness', it's just not my preference aesthetically speaking.

I've never found a correlation with tattoos and personality traits. I think tattooed folk run in a might wide spectrum. So use it for messaging, others for art. And some just do it to do it.

My husband does not have a single tattoo strangely enough. He was a public entertainer, so there could have been an arty message there. But he left that alone.

I don't have any either, although I've toyed with the possibility of eyeliner.

But I've also never found tattoos to influence me one way or the other in my perception of someone.

Dude... He should shave all the hair on his body ONCE (well, as many times as it took to complete a badass concept) and get tatted strategically to incorporate his body fluffs into the artwork.

Just, like... That'd be badass.

I'll relay your suggestions! I'm sure he'll consider them.

But I remember a few years ago he had to shave his thigh for a medical procedure. The dude went nuts when it started growing back! He asked me if it would be weird if he shaved it all the time. I told him yes, it would.

He endured it, but what a crybaby!

If he can't take stubble I doubt a tat would entice him.

Think it's down to the public places you go to - and your preferences for tattoos.

Personally, I'll never let anyone alternate my body in any way, including injecting ink or whatever under my skin - and I rarely choose guys with visible tattoos when looking for some

 

[ibex231]

too many visible tattoos and you look like a carney

 

[Holly Doors]

I do have a thing for big guys with old school tattoos, not gonna lie Lol.

Love tats huge turn on.

I prefer men with no ink but if they have tats it’s not a dealbreaker. I just prefer squeaky clean looks and no ink.

The husband that mattered, Skinny Hippie, has ink.

interesting imagery, better stories.

My wedding ring was an echo of his ankle ink, a ring of roses in homage to the Dead. I’m inkless. I’m not against it, I just …can’t decide….and I’ve been trying to decide on a image since 1987.

My Love has no ink, and no desire to acquire any.

My own interest has greatly waned over the years.
