Q. http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1219&u_sid=10388666
If you don't want to read it, here are the basics as I see them:
1) Women have tattoos removed at a greater rate than men.
2) 3x as many women as men blame "negative comments."
3) More women than men were surveyed, more than likely because (imho) there were more of them getting tats removed.
So . . . do people just give women a harder time about tats?
Are women more easily swayed by the opinions of others?
Are tatted women making more $$ than tatted men, making removal more affordable?
I know there are probably many other options, but what do y'all think?
Please no "tattoos are stupid" or variations thereof; I'm not discussing the choice to get them or not.
Purposely posted here rather than the Tattoo section, because I figured I'd get more well-thought-out answers here.
Before anyone asks (as if y'all cared), I have 2, my wife has 3, and my sister has 1. Nobody makes life difficult for any of us b/c of our tattoos.
The Mrs.: No problems at all, my friend, the article just piqued my interest.
thing55001: "porn star tatts," while a real concept similar to "tramp stamps," made me laugh -- that's where my sister's is, and she's the farthest thing in the known universe from a porn star.
Super Me: I'll give you the stigma thing, but why then do you think women "react" to the stigma thing more tham men do?
*oops* -- "more than men do"
I hate my own typos!

A. EDIT: I agree ~ and I think those lower back tatts are often very gorgeous, a great friend of mine has a very intricate and difficult one which took a long time to get just right ... and she is nobody's 'porn star'. I appreciate a good tattoo. It's a chance to view something from inside a person's head on the outside, plus lots of them are just beautiful. Like a living art gallery. And the tribal tatts, such as those done by the maori and samoan people are exquisite.

Interesting. Wonder if there could be an age related thing here?
In my generation (older) women with tatts were often considered to be 'low class' women, even those ladies with tribal tattoos from their cultural background.
With many young women nowadays having tattoos, it's pretty obvious to anyone that it's just a decoration, not an 'indication', but there are still some nasty comments made.
On this board the other day, someone referred to tattoos across a women's lower back as "porn star tatts", so that person obviously still has a conservative attitude about it, or is just an idiot.
My late husband had a heap of tatts, and he wished he could have had all but two or three removed, due to changes in life circumstances.
The same with my bro. He has two very beautiful 'full sleeves', one of which was a wedding gift from his wife, real artwork. BUT, now he is older and in a white collar job, he has to wear long sleeves all the time, even in the hottest summer, because SOME people have negative thoughts on first impression.
It's a stupid prejudice and a lot of people are getting over it, but unfortunately still hangs around.
About girls getting tatts removed at a greater rate, one thing would be that they often don't have as much or as elaborate tatts, and also have them on the fleshy bits (t&a) where it's easier to get removed.
I would say it would be way easier to get a cute little bluebird outline lasered off a t!t than to get a full colour 'live free with dagger' from off a scapular.
Cheers :-)
