I don’t. I never will.

I find tattoos and piercings incredibly unattractive. Anything more than a single earring pierce in the earlobe leaves me cold, to the point where I once was about to do the deed with a young lady and saw that she had a tattoo in a normally unexposed area. I got up, got dressed and got out.

Two in one ear, three in the other, my eyebrow and two tattoos. One on my back one on my arm. Will get more when I have the money. I am 22 and female. Almost all my friends have tattoos a few have piercings other than their ears. Their ages range from 17 to 60. (60 year old has a pierced clit she loves it 😛 ) My husband on the other hand is puncture and ink free. 🙂

That just seems like such an odd thing to derail a libido. Unless the tatoo said ‘My name used to be Stan’ or somesuch. To be rounding 3rd heading home then, oh, no thanks, don’t care for the uniform of the opposing team seems kinda shallow.

Perhaps opportunity affords itself to you more often than it did me.
