Ppl have been tatooing peircong and branding themselve forever... So it cant exactlly be called a fad... the type of art work or the synamanet may have evolved

I have a friend who is going to the max. amount of ink that one can have placed one one's body.  He has a serious amount of tatoos including places that you wouldn't want to think about.  I can't remember the percentage exactly ... believing he said somewhere in the 90th. percentile.  I will say that the inside of his bottom lip is arted up and his skull and a lotta lotta other places.  He is a work in progress.

I love tats on both men and women. There was a woman in her 8th month of pregnancy who wore a strapless light pink gown as a bridesmaid in a big wedding. She had med-dark skin and the tattoos were beautiful and all over her back and round, firm arms. I'll always remember how she looked.

The men I see who have tats are usually good looking or rough looking. The women seem to go by that too.

I have never seen tats on an old woman and I'd really rather not. I've seen them on old men and they make me smile. Men just don't have to be purty. They can look like Popeye and all is swell.

I hear ya LEEROY. Woman with arm tattoos are a BIG TURN-OFF. I believe tattoos on women should be in close proximity to their "fun areas".

Then again, I'm a PIG. :)

Well only thing for certain is that things change and tatoos as a fad will change also just as fashion trends change so will tattoos

Seriously who cares? Disfigure your own body as long as you want to and hope that mother nature or a serious health condition or accident cannot do the same

I think tattoos are Ok.But they don't look good anymore when your whole body is covered.

Here to stay and they get ugly when skin gets old!

I know the oldest found human frozen in Switzerland is dated to 60,000 years old. He has tattoos on his body. I believe there will and and tattoos have been apart of our culture for eternity. The reasons why people get them various. I do not particularly like them on woman I date unless there is just one small one that can be easily cover up with normal close.

Like said above, it's not a modern tradition, it's actually ancient.

I don't want to offend any women with this, but I don't think that the tattoo's on the bicep or upper arm are attractive or sexy, I saw a woman at the grocery store with a full sleeve tattoo and it just didn't appear sexy to me it seemed to masculine? Is that just me or do other guys agree?

I got a Tattoo of the cartoon character Yosemite Sam on my right arm when I was 19 and in the NAVY. I'm 55 now and still don't regret getting it. I DO tend to get turned off by those people that completely cover their faces with tattoos but otherwise I support body art.

ive got  DNR on my shoulder if that helps

Tattoos are okay if done right.  I'm thinking of getting one myself soon...something small and tasteful.  Any ideas?

tattoo's are usually a self imposed brand ,probably a cry for recognition, notice,or culture, a certain part of society are lead like sheep following the Judas goat down the road of their demise, test of time or test of sanity is a better question.
