It'll be cool until it's not cool and then it'll be like a mullet that you can't cut. This trend will jump the shark eventually.
Not that I don't think cool tattoos are cool, but I wouldn't want to make a life long commitment to a fashion trend. |

I am sooooooo glad my wife (or I) never got a tattoo. There have been several times we we thought about it.
Every time I see a woman with a tattoo, I think "trashy". For the weekend, trashy can be good, but for the mother of my children? (Just one guy's opinion) |

I'm so conflicted part of me finds tattoes quite sexy, but another part finds them classless and trashy. I guess it will depend on what she gets. View Quote It's the classless and trashy part of you that finds them "sexy". |

Meh, as long as you can live with it I'd say just let your wife do as she pleases. Buuuut, I'm a dirty inky and so is my SO, so my opinion is automatically invalid

I've actually been really surprised at the quality of some of the 2,500+ year old ink they have found.. Both guys and girls with full sleeves and back pieces that look better, with better line work and more solid color than many tattoos today.. |

Doesn't seem that long ago that 'Butterfly' was a major sexual insult about a woman, now they get tattoos of them.

Dude...if you don't want her to get it, tell her no. Or let her do it. If I were you I wouldn't care.

Lol, strike a nerve there? You are tone deaf if you haven't recognized the mainstreaming of tattoos in the past 10 years. Just because a fashion trend isn't new doesn't mean that it won't go bust after a boom. We're living in the boom. The best is inevitable. Tattoos will take their place in history next to mom jeans and parachute pants and await their comeback in 30 years. Of course, you can't put your tattoos away in storage. |

Can't help ya, my wife would fit in at the carnival sideshow. ;)

Yeah, as long as she gets one of those classy, non-trashy tattoos it will be cool.

The problem with tattoos is low standards. Imagine if everyone was satisfied with high points and showed them off constantly. No screw that, Hi points are too nice for the ink i see. imagine if everyone had Pakistani cave guns and showed them off constantly.

You're the guy that was in the ER last night, about to die of AIDS, right? If your life insurance will mean your wife never having to enter the labor market, ask her to get a memorial face tattoo to you.

Voted hell no but meant no. Not a deal breaker if it's discreet and meaningful. I like clean skin but it's JMO.

I think that you're assuming a tattoo is always something people do to fit in, instead of something for themselves. A tattoo for yourself will never fade away (no pun intended) because we didn't get them to show off, unlike wearing backward pants, or mullets, or whatever. But yeah, a tattoo that someone gets to be a part of a group/trend (tribal arm band, YOLO tat) will die out and be ridiculous at some point in time. |

Does she already have a criminal history?
This will be important information when future correlations between ink and pure stupidity are drawn. |

Ha ha! As some of you may know, Muslims don't get tattoos. My buddy from Iraq worked for us for 8 years over there, I've seen the certificates, & we met while we were both in Baghdad. He brings his wife & family over, and his wife GETS America. She loves it. What symbolizes freedom to her - tattoos. He says No! We're Muslim! Muslims don't get tattoos! She batted those Arab eyes @ him & he paid for 3.

As a dirty inky please ask her to reconsider. While I have tatttoos and I celebrate each of the ones that I have,I now I look back at each one of them as a milestone or a point in life that I wish to remember but now I see them with jaded eyes. What was cool and trendy at the time comes and goes, what was poignant and meaningful fades with time as you grow as a person. Soon you are left with reminders of youthful indiscression and sometimes the choices you make in your younger years last a lifetime. The small imperfections that you see in a new tattoo increase 7 fold as you age and the choices to correct those mistakes are limited and costy.
I know you may see that cute Tweety bird or bitchin Panther on the wall at the shop but not every ink slinger can paint a Mona Lisa on your canvas . Unfortunately you can be stuck with something much worse than an Elvis on velvet or dogs playing pool in a short time. If she insist on moving forward I ask that you remind her of how she interacts with inkys and remind her that she will now wear her own Scarlett letter forevermore and that she consider the placement VERY carefully. The boobs, arms, neck face or any place visible in office attire can seriously limit your employment oportunities in the future, so choose wisely. |
