Are you one of the 30 percent?


Personally I have a dumb one on my shoulder I got when I was 18
One small tattoo on the back of each of my two arms (White Spy and Black Spy from Spy Versus Spy)
And my left forearm is decently covered with an Elliott Smith tattoo.

I don't like tattoos in general, but some people have some cool ones.

A buddy of mine considers them a deal breaker on women (and men but he doesn't date men)

given that it jumped up from 21 to 30% since 2012, i'd guess its mostly kids turning 18 or in their early 20s.

Yeah if i'm reading this correctly age 55 is where it seems the breakoff is. Under 55 and you're more likely to have one.

I don't have tattoos and I have zero plans to get one in the future. It's not a "my body is a temple" thing, I just think people look better without them.

That said, I'll still date women with tattoos, so long as it isn't excessive.

Yeah, I kind of used it as a joke answer. Really it should just be "no" but I thought this was funnier.

I have zero desire to get a tattoo, but I don't judge others if they want to have a tattoo...unless the tattoos are in the following red zones...yellow zone is passable, but iffy

When I had my arm done the worst place was right where the wrist and hand meets. I wish he would have started off with that area instead of doing it at the very end of a 4 hour session.

Sorry to say, if I met you in real life, I would negatively judge you for it.

Kind of a weird system of zones, imo. Most gen X-ers I know who have tattoos have like, a small one on one of their feet. Hands and head/face/neck I can understand as being a bit extra for some peoples taste, but feet? Strange.

Feet tattoos are trashy and offputting. It's something you would get while passed out on your back porch after drinking too many coors lights and screaming the gamer word

I don't see myself ever getting a tattoo. Unless of course if were invaded by Russia, or aliens, and I have to fight, then I'll get one.

For me, a shirt (or clothing in general) is a better way of expressing yourself than a tattoo. For this reason, I will most likely never get a tattoo.

I almost got one when I lived in Hawaii but they wanted 2k just to do a Texas border on my shoulder. Glad I didn't do it.

I have four. Skull with sword going through it with a banner that says valar morghulis. That's on my leg.

Two on my arms, one is a fleur de lis. I'm a huge Saints fan. It was actually my first tattoo. The other is kinda big. It's a nun kissing a large snake with smaller snakes all over it.

My wife and I got our initials on our ring finger for our fifth year anniversary.
