I understand how some people may not find tattoo's attractive, I have my own things that turn me off on men (long fingernails, business suits, etc). More than anything though, men who are judgemental turn me off. I don't have a pigeon hole that I put non-tattooed people in, I don't have one for persons with tattoo's either. I have been into tattoos since I was a child, and wanted one for as long as I could remember. I was finally able to get my first at 16 after years of hounding my mum. I am 24 now and have 5. Generally no one knows about them (ie: not on face, hands) and tend to be suprised that I am tattooed, which I don't understand either. Anyways, I don't regret any of my tattoos. I have had people ask me, don't you think you will regret that when you are 70 and wrinkled? My answer always is, when I am 70 and wrinkled I doubt I will be very happy with my body and showing it off, tattooed or not. I have a tramp stamp. I really hate that it is called that, although I do know many girls who have them and fit the name. They are disinterested in tattoos and got them for fact that they thought it would be daring and attractive. I don't care if people find my tattoos unattractive, to each their own. What does bother me is the judgement that comes along with it. Not that it bothers me that much, I wouldn't want to be with someone who judged someone for being tattooed anyways!
