Cute ParentalAdvisory, but very not safe for work.
Unless your work approves of female pubic hair.
I don’t find tattoos attractive, but then again I don’t find them un attractive (barring scary ones like swastikas).
Don’t like 'em myself, and never have. People who insist on showing me their tattoos and expecting me to admire them drive me nuts.
I put a fake tattoo on the small of my back a month ago, just for fun–I’ve had several people tell me to get a tattoo there–and within a week I was over it and scrubbed it off.
That’s why I’d never get one. You can’t scrub the real thing away once you decide it’s ugly or dated or silly or too big or whatever.
Tattoos are revolting, either on males OR females.
JMHO, of course. 
Don’t like 'em, never have. I can appreciate the skill it takes to do any kind of artwork, but I don’t see the human body as a canvas. Then again, I’m a crabby old woman. I don’t understand the appeal. I’ve never looked at someone and thought “What a great tattoo!” Never.
If my husband got one, I’d be very upset. If my daughter got one (after she’s living on her own) I’d be upset, but she’s entitled to live her own life at that point. As is anyone else who wants one, or two, or more. But I don’t have to like it.
Female here…personally, I’m not attracted to someone because of a tattoo. Likewise, a tattoo would not be a “make or break” issue. That said, I don’t really find them attractive; 1 or 2 on the small side (size-wise) wouldn’t bother me. But more (at least for me) does not mean better. Folks who have massive amounts of tattoos covering them … well, it’s definitely a turn-off for me. I don’t want to elaborate further, I know I’m already going to tee off some folks; just suffice it to say that I don’t really find them attractive/sexy; one or two small-size wouldn’t really bother me, but large ones in massive quantities are definite turn-offs. LOL
Well, I don’t find people more attractive because of a tat, but I don’t see them as a negative thing either. I guess for me it depends on how artfully done it is, and the subject matter. If the picture is something I’d find objectionable under any circumstances, then I probably wouldn’t like it. A tiger or dragon or somesuch I might like, depending on how good the art is (or isn’t.)
Here’s mine:

Most people never see it because I very seldom wear tank tops, but I"ve never lost a bf because of it (lost them for plenty of other reasons, though. sigh)
I have a parrot on my hip. It is my own original artwork. I drew it in proportion to the curve of my hipbone and it is very colorful. I worked with a tat artist I knew for a whiel and it took him 2 1/2 hours to color the 6" bird. It should have cost me around $300 but because he wanted to see my butt (perks of being a cute girl) he only charged me $190. I don’t go around showing it to people. As a matter of fact, except for people in the gym, people at the beach or my lovers, I really don’t think I have ever shown it to anyone. (do people do that?) At work I am very conservative and no one could guess I have a tatoo and a navel piercing. I kind of like the “secret” wild girl persona under my clothes. So all tatooed pierced people aren’t skanky show offs! LOL
I waited 6 years AFTER I decided I wanted a parrot. I scoured tatto parlours everywhere and never found artwork I liked so I finally made my own. It was so permanent I knew it had to be exactly what I wanted. When I finally got it, I have had it for 5 years and have never regretted it one day. there have been so many negative comments here. There are people who love their tattos and my bf loves my tat on me (licks it often) 
As with everything there are those who luv 'em and those who hate 'em. Just look around get what you want and love it yourself. Don’t worry about what people think. If you want it get it. Just don’t rush inot it becuase it is pretty hard to change your mind once it is there.
Some tattoos on guys would be off-putting for me. I don’t care for skulls and “bad boy” art.
I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a small tattoo in a spot I could cover up easily. But I’ve never been able to think of a design that I would still be happy to have ten years from now. When I’m 60.
You gotta wonder what some of these heavily-tattooed folks will look like in 20 years…
I’m female, tattoed and with a tattoed guy.
There are some really nice tats out there, I prefer ones that are well done & original, not picked off “the wall” and look like they were done by a 12-year old with a needle and pen ink.
Just think about what you want. Make sure it’s something you want for the rest of your life and that you won’t regret. Keep that pattern around and look at it a lot. If you’re sick of it in a month, then it’s not a good option.
Naked women, most of those cheesy ‘tribal’ designs, and flower patterns are an absolute turn off. Originality counts! I once dated a guy who had a flaming maple leaf on his arm and it was one of the ugliest tats I’ve ever seen.
In the long run, just make sure it’s something you enjoy having on your body. I’m sure there are people who aren’t thrilled with my designs, but that’s their problem not mine. I haven’t ever regretted getting them.
I’m not fond of them myself, but I may not be the kind of girl (woman, 37 years old, married, two kids - socially, religiously, and political liberal, though my liberal friends all claim I’m “much more conservative than the rest of us”) you’d be interested in anyway.
I’m not turned off by something in the way of a small tasteful armband, and wouldn’t have dismissed someone with something tasteful out of hand, but any tatoo wouldn’t go in the plus column.
I wouldn’t be all “he has a tattoo, so I must jump his bones!” but I wouldn’t say it’s a negative thing unless it’s really tasteless. I find plenty of skinny punk rock stars with full-length sleeves to be plenty hot, but in, y’know, real life, that might be a bit excessive. Other than that, though, I’m all for expressing yourself by decorating your body, I think it can be very beautiful.
I am extremely turned on by tattoos. I like em’ a whole lot on the men folk. I don’t know why . . . .
But I totally agree with others advice. Make sure its something that has meaning to you, something you feel is worth being on your one and only body forever, and that you will still like when its a couple inches lower.
I only have one tattoo that I plan to add a little more too but then I’m done. Its a compass on the base of my neck onto my lower back. It took years to decide that THAT was what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with it.
But when it comes to guys, the more the better (to an extent). I dated a guy with sleeves and oh man did he float my boat.
Make sure its well-done and meaningful and in a nice spot and I’ll think its hot.
Not on girls, women, boys, or men.
And spooky on big dockworker types.
They were popular on seaboard towns a hundred years ago, and once they go out of style again, those who have them will wait 100 years not to look foolish again.
If you are Vin Diesel, then yes, tattoos are attractive.
Otherwise, no.
What about tribal? Does that count as “arty”? I was planning on getting a tribal tat done on an arm.
