Tattooed Man Calls Tattooed Women Masculine, Unattractive, Disgusting and Immature

As women, we’re accustomed to hearing criticism about our bodies from a variety of sources—whether it be the media, the diet industry or social media. And as tattooed women, we’re guaranteed to receive unsolicited feedback from strangers across the board, especially coming from men. Men love to tell women how they feel about their ink, whether their opinion is positive or negative. I can’t speak for tattooed men, as I have never lived life as a man, however, I have a hard time believing that they go through a similar life experience. For instance, how often do you hear women ranting about their disdain for tattooed men? Yeah, that’s what I thought. But when it comes to men talking about their preferences (or in this case, distaste) for tattooed women, you can find plenty of examples in the form of articles or YouTube videos. Take a look at the gallery below to meet a tattooed man who finds tattoos on women unattractive and let us know what you think about his controversial point of view.

Lots of us have tattoos that we regret. Pieces that just didn’t come out right. Trusting the wrong artist to interpret your vison. A drunken mistake. An ex by or girlfriend’s name. This list of regrets is endless. However, one of the worst is a misspelling. It just screams I am really stupid — for you and your artist. Although, I have to admit, I even have one that if you look at it from certain angles, the birthdate of my son is off by 20 years. I keep telling myself I am going to get it reworked, but as of yet, my 18-year-old son is 38 according to my left inner bicep. So, I may appear in the next video! You never no. (I did that on purpose.)
