(9,465 posts)You'd probably need to be on the third date to notice my tattoo, though. It's on an area of my body that's usually covered except at the swimming pool. So I didn't do it to be trendy, or make a statement. It's meaningful to me alone.
Obviously, I'm not going to be terribly fond of someone who tattoos a swastika or a Confederate flag in a visible location, but it's the subject matter, not the state of being tattooed that offends me.
With or without permanent ink on your skin, it's your character that repels or attracts me. The last nurse who cared for me in an ER had a dragon on her forearm. She was kind, competent, and graced with a fine sense of humor. That's what really mattered, not the fire-breathing lizard (even though it was very well done).
