What do you think about tattoos on women's breasts?

Q. My partner can't stand it.
I don't think it looks too attractive either.
What does everyone else think?

BQ: Where do you think a tattoo would look BEST on a guy or girl?
For those of you who misunderstood my question (Kali Butler, lol)
I'm NOT saying I want a tattoo on my breast, I think that's a horrible position for any tattoo!
My partner & I were watching tv and we saw a woman with a large tattoo on her breast.
We don't like it.
We were just wondering what other people thought about it.
btw, I already have tattoos (my children's names on my ankles)
;D

A. I think tattoos on a woman's breasts are like scribbling on a masterpiece... should not be done!

Generally I'm not a fan of ink on women but if it's meaningful and not on the arms or face then it's not so bad... on men I guess the back or arms is the best place. This is just my opinion though...

A. Best quote for a female is no quote. Don't get a tattoo, Marine!

�Research shows that women face more social stigma than men regarding tattoos. Women with tattoos are more likely to have them removed because of embarrassment, body image, or career concerns.
Researchers from Texas Tech University found that women with tattoos are more than twice as likely to have them removed (as compared to men with tattoos). Most women are happy with tattoos when they get them, but their feelings changed within the next one to five years.
In this study, women found that tattoos began to cause embarrassment, and stopped being a source of uniqueness. Women with tattoos often have to hide them, which limits clothing options and increases feelings of self-consciousness.�

Do any of you have tattoos?

Q. What is it of?
Where is it?
How much did it hurt?


i want to get a tattoo on my inter hip not on the bone. on the inside like between the hips but closer to one side and going up around my hip but never on the hip bone. does any one have a tattoo like that?

A. Lol, it always surprises me how many losers there are hanging around this area for some bizarre reason when they hate tattoos! I can understand visiting an area of a board about something you were enthusiastic about and interested in, but to come on a board in which the entire topic is something you hate? Come on people, get a life!!!

Okay, firstly to quash some silly myths that have been given here -
Tattoos can not give you cancer! I would love to see that person's research on that! At worst you can pick up a blood bourne virus (such as HIV or Hepatitis) - but if you go to a professional tattooist and ask to see their licence and check they have an autoclave (sophisticated piece of sterilising equipment which is a 'must' for tattooists, anything less won't kill off the BBV's), then you will not contract a disease of any sort. The only people who get diseases from tattoos are idiots who go to unlicenced 'scratchers' or shitholes just because they can get some money knocked off. And as long as you follow your aftercare advice and keep the area clean, you won't pick up an infection, it's just like any other surface wound and scab. Your tattoo will NOT harm you if you go to a reputable place (it's worth the money), and take care of it in the following weeks. And to the silly little people saying 'don't do it, it can harm you' - please back up these 'facts' with your research in future, I'd love to see what you know that I don't :-)

As for those saying the tattoos will age and go wrinkly over time. Well we've all seen the fat old men in pubs with blurry faded sleeves haven't we, and yes they look crap. However, what most people don't realise is when you get a tattoo you should have it re-done every 10-15 years maximum (just like a boob job!). Otherwise, they will go horrible. If you keep on top of it and keep refreshing it over the years, it won't end up like that. So don't get a tattoo that you can't afford to have done again in a decade or so, unless you want it to look rubbish. As for it going wrinkly... well honestly honey, I would advise you against getting any abdominal tattoos. If you have children in the future your skin WILL stretch and I've seen some terrible resulting tattoos after a woman has had a baby. I've had a baby and looking what pregnancy did to my skin all the way down to my pubic bone, I am extremely glad I did not get a tattoo there to say the least! The back is a very good place to get tattoos as this is one of the areas of your body that stretches very little over the years (unless you gain heaps of weight!) and generally maintains its shape very well.

And to the idiots saying people get tattoos because they're 'cool' - done a survey, have you? Sure, there are the morons out there who do it for this reason. But most people with tattoos do it because tattooing is one of the oldest and most sacred forms of art, it is a wonderful way of expressing oneself, and they see their body as a natural canvas. You are welcome to dislike it, but who are you to criticise others for expressing their freedom?

ANYWAY. To answer your question:

I have three tattoos, booked in to get my fourth tomorrow, have another two designs in the pipeline, and then will be giving it a rest for a while before I get too addicted! :-)

The three I have - two large backpieces, one is a dedication to my son, one is a dedication to my mother who recently passed away. And one smaller one on the underside of my arm (at the top), of the zodiac symbols of my family entwined. The one I'm getting tomorrow is a large ring of writing again on my back, going from shoulder blade to shoulder blade in a perfect circle, encircling the tattoo I have for my son.

The two on my back were absolute agony, to the point where I wanted it to stop even if it meant having a half finished tattoo for the rest of my life! But the moment they were over I felt great and the pain made me appreciate it even more. I know the one tomorrow will be just the same, but that's not putting me off! The one on my arm hardly hurt at all, sometimes I couldn't even feel him doing it, other times it was just a mild stinging sensation.

Hope that's answered everything. I'll just say one more thing, I know you didn't mention wanting a tattoo here but I'll say anyway - please avoid getting hand/wrist/face/neck tattoos until you are in a career and know what the etiquette is. It's also best not to get forearm tattoos for the same reason until you know what you're doing in life, unless you want to wear long sleeves forever. Tattoos are great, but not when they're hindering your career.

Good luck :-)

Original Question

Women with lower hip tattoos before and after pregnancy?

Q. My fiance and i are getting married this summer, and plan on having kids together sometime. I am a pretty small naturally, work to keep my body in shape by eating healthy foods (vegetarian) and excercising, but i know that once pregnancy hits, i might not be so lucky!

I already have two tatoos, both are in areas that will not stretch when pregnant. I am getting a tattoo next month, already have the design planned out, but just wanted to get some feedback from women who have had tattoos BEFORE pregnancy.
The tattoo is going to be on my hip, not where most females get them on the hip bone, but fairly low, where the leg meets the hip, next to the pubic region.
so my question is, how many women have gotten a tattoo in this location, and how far down did your stretch marks appear during pregnancy?

any helpful, mature, comments and advice from personal experiences would be appreciated!

thank you in advance!!

A. I have a small tattoo in a similar location to where you want yours and I am 35-almost 36 weeks pregnant. I have had no stretch marks in that area at all, just a few little ones around my belly button.
I think you will be fine, but when you do get pregnant I recommend Earth Mama Angel Baby stretch oil: http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/stretch_oil.html
It's a little pricey, but it lasts throughout the pregnancy.
:)

A. Once again...

Army Changes Tattoo Policy

The Army has revised its policy on tattoos in an effort to bolster recruitment of highly-qualified individuals who might otherwise have been excluded from joining.

Tattoos are now permitted on the hands and back of the neck if they are not �extremist, indecent, sexist or racist.� Army Regulation 670-1, which was modified via a message released Jan. 25, also now specifies: �Any tattoo or brand anywhere on the head or face is prohibited except for permanent make-up.�

For women, allowable make-up would be permanent eye-liner, eyebrows and makeup applied to fill in lips, officials said. They said permanent make-up should be conservative and complement the uniform and complexion in both style and color and will not be trendy.

The change was made because Army officials realized the number of potential recruits bearing skin art had grown enormously over the years.

About 30 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 have tattoos, according to a Scripps Howard News Service and Ohio University survey. For those under age 25, the number is about 28 percent. In all, the post-baby-boom generations are more than three times as likely as boomers to have tattoos.

As a result of tattoo attitude changes, Army Regulation 670-1, chapter 1-8E (1) has been modified via an ALARACT 017/2006 message.

Additionally, paragraph 1-8B (1) (A) was revised to state: �Tattoos that are not extremist, indecent, sexist or racist are allowed on the hands and neck. Initial entry determinations will be made according to current guidance.�

The Army has never allowed indecent tattoos on any part of the body, G1 officials pointed out.

The new policy allows recruits and all Soldiers to sport tattoos on the neck behind an imaginary line straight down and back of the jawbone, provided the tattoos don�t violate good taste.

�The only tattoos acceptable on the neck are those on the back of the neck,� said Hank Minitrez, Army G-1 Human Resources Policy spokesman. �The �back� of the neck is defined as being just under the ear lobe and across the back of the head. Throat tattoos on that portion of the neck considered the front, the ear lobe forward) are prohibited.�

Soldiers who are considering putting tattoos on their hands and necks, should consider asking their chain of command prior to being inked.

�While the Army places trust in the integrity of its Soldiers and leaders, if a Soldier has a questionable case regarding tattoos, he or she should seek the advice of the local commander through the chain of command,� added Minitrez.

Should a Soldier not seek advice and have tattoos applied that aren�t in keeping with AR-670, the command will counsel the Soldier on medical options, but may not order the Soldier to have the tattoos removed. However, if a Soldier opts not to take the medical option at Army expense, the Soldier may be discharged from service.

The U.S. Coast Guard has a limitation on the size of a tattoo in percentages of a given area that will not exceed 25 percent of the space between wrist and elbow, knee and ankle, but it does not allow tattoos on the hands or neck.

The Army�s new policy, however, does not mean Soldiers should rush out and have the backs of their necks or their hands entirely covered in decorative art, Minitrez said.

�The Army does not have a percentage policy for tattoos,� Minitrez said. �As long as tattoos do not distract from good military order and discipline and are not extremist, racist, sexist or indecent they�re permitted.�

If a Soldier�s current command has no issue with his/her tattoos, the Soldier should have personnel files so notated that the Soldier is in line with AR-670, officials said. Though not mandatory, having the notation entered serves as back-up documentation at a follow-on command which might feel the Soldier�s tattoos don�t meet Army regulations.

Once you're in, it's a different story...

I met a gentleman back in the mid-90's who was a Sniper in the 82nd Airborne. He had gotten his spotter's name, who was killed in Panama, tattooed in large, black, gothic letters starting just below his right ear and down across his neck to his heart. Of course it was a violation, but who the heck was going to tell him?

Original Question

Tattooed women, Do you have any tattoos on your ankle/leg? If not then why? Is a sleeve better on arm or leg?

Q. This made me curious ever since I read someone else's similar questions. I have tattoos on each side of my ankle and just assumed that it never looked bad or bothered anyone, since I've gotten all compliments. I never understood though why people are saying that tattoos on the leg only look right on "certain" women who know how to pull off that look. What does that mean? I like the way a leg sleeve looks (a small one) + it can easily be concealed when needed. Also, why would anyone think it looks too masculine for a women to tattoo her leg.- Most guys I see have their arms & back, not their legs!
Thanks!

A. I have a tattoo on my ankle. It doesn't quite go all the way around and I do plan on finishing it, as well as getting one on my other ankle. For me, I would get my legs covered before my arms. It's easier to cover if you need to do so. I wear jeans most of the year anyway, so it would be less likely to fade.

To each their own. Put your tattoos where you want them, not where other people think they should be.
