There are varying opinions about tattoos on either men or women. Part of the issue is that some people just don't look good with body art. Then you have shallow minded people like Mike who think that only prostitutes and gang members have tattoos(not sure where he got that lie from). If that is what he believes then let him continue believing that I just hope he understands that having a shallow mind will always give shallow results in everything including relationships. With that said there is nothing wrong with getting tattoos if that is your choice but it also comes down to how tasteful or complimentary that tattoo will also be. As I already mentioned not everyone (men or women) will look good in body art. So making the right choices on what style of body art you want depends much on your personal character, style of clothing you wear and an overal presentation of yourself. In other words don't go and get some body art put on just because your friends are pushing you to get one. You need to represent a balance of who you are and what you want to project about yourself while also using your body as an artists canvas to express an art form. Trying to find an artist to express beautiful art on human being that is also beautiful is very difficult to do and sometimes that art will clash against that beauty. In the end the ultimate choice will always be yours.
