For me, more than likely it is a deal breaker. As an artist and designer, I find most are poorly executed. If it was one, well drawn and placed design, I could be ok with it. If the guy had randomly placed tattoos, no. That style is completely unattractive to me.
Tatoos are not a deal-breaker BUT I really dislike them.
Other popular things that are huge turn offs for me: the shaved look down there and fake boobs.
I have quite a few-- a half-sleeve, and a couple other reasonably large pieces. But I prefer men without tattoos.
It depends on what the deal is and what the tattoos taste like 
Damn, we are old around here.
I love women, some of whom happen to be inked up.
I guess I’m kind of a hypocrite because the well-done tattoos on some girls are pretty erotic sometimes especially if they accentuate her body in a nice way, and I’d say it definitely is a turn-on for a one night stand or casual dating. But when it comes to the prospect of marriage or something its prob a bit of a deal-breaker for me depending how many tattoos we are talking. Its prob going to look shitty later and I don’t want to explain want to explain to our imaginary son what the amorphous, faded black blob is above Mommy’s ass every time we go to the beach. “Well Timmy we used to call those tramp stamps, its how I knew your Mother was DTF as soon as we met at the bar.”
I was going to say fine, unless they are the Chinese symbols that translate to “Dumb Ass”.
( 笨蛋 ) …please tell me that there is no one out there suddenly checking their back in a mirror…
I like yours better though. 
Tattoos are ugly. So I’m far, far less likely to be interested in a girl covered in ugly tattoos. If we happen to click amazingly in others ways I might be able to look past them, but if they are big tattoos like sleeves or on her chest then the likelihood is that I’m simply not going to find the girl attractive, and so a relationship wouldn’t last.
If someone has decided to wear their favorite shirt from freshman year of college 24x7 for the rest of their life, is that a relationship dealbreaker? Maybe not, but that shirt had better be punker than fuck.
Note that “relationship” is (or should be) a very high bar to clear.
I don’t talk to people with tattoos.
Is this how relationships work for you?
Tattoos are a sign of bad character. I wouldn’t marry a female with tattoos or excessive piercings
It totally depends on the type and location of the tats. Me, I love those thick “tribal” tats, all in black. Those look really good on a muscular bicep. But anything colored generally looks bad, especially that terrible bluish color that’s in so many tattoos.
No face or neck tattoos. And I met a wonderful gentleman once who had ‘F-U-C-K-Y-O-U’ tattooed across his knuckles, so when he made fists, you could read it. He was a nice guy but I’d never date him.
I don’t care, though, about how they’re going to look when they’re old. At all. We are all going to look like shit one day. When I am 90, I am not going to look at my single tat and say, “Oh, man, I’m sorry I put this on.” I am going to say, “Damn, girl, I was brave enough to go against my culture and face the pain and get this done!”
It’s a good memory to have.
Agreed. It is a total deal-breaker for me.
Opposite here! I have no tattoos, but would not mind at all if my wife got a few. Ain’t gonna happen, she has no desire for one but if she ever changed her mind I’d be OK with it. Two of my three kids and my son-in-law have tattoos, it has no impact on my opinion of them. The only exceptions are tattoos above the shoulder. More often than not, neck/face/head tattoos are a turn off.
Married to a woman who thinks ink is as stupid as I do, so no problem.
That’s bizarre, I know plenty of women who like tattoos, who might find good tattoos a turn-on, but not to the extent where not having a tattoo would be a turn-off. Either he runs in an unusual crowd, or the women were blowing him off for other reasons and he blamed it on the lack of tattoos.
I don’t have any tattoos, but I think the same way. It’s not like my 90-year-old untattooed skin will look a hell of a lot better than someone else’s 90-year-old tattooed skin, other than it will be somewhat differently colored. And it won’t look weird or bad to have an tattoo when we’re old, because so many other old people will have tattoos.
I’ve never come up with a statement I want to make for the rest of my life.
Well, I did consider a heart with Mom in but Mom said Think again.
Among our other various pieces, my wife and I have matching tattoos that she designed.
