Tattoos all over

Recently seen a few women shop assistants over 50 with tattoos all over their visible skin, hand, neck and stopping only at their faces. Men too of course. One lady had spiders and webs as her art form. I know people will say its their choice but it turns my stomach. I’ve really tried but it’s as if I have a phobia so I don't shop there..

I think I'd rather have a dotted line with "cut here" on my neck, than that spider!!

I think a rose on a nubile body could look beautiful but more like a weed when the person is elderly!

Wrong, I have a tattoo on my lower back, I have had it a long time, no wrinkles and still looks lovely.
Not all older women are wrinkly.

How judgemental

Way to sexualize our gender, thank you very much!

Now I am going to vomit

Tattoos all over have roughly the same effect on me.

Nothing wrong with a discrete bow or butterfly but large tattoos specially on women are not for me, however they are now commonplace, I hope the fashion changes.

No doubt it will, as fashions do.

This has crossed my mind too. Also wondered if breast implants might be a barrier to the detection/treatment of breast cancer.

Their body their choice. I think some are beautiful and real works of art.

There are quite a few people on FB moaning that they can’t get a job. They have full face tattoos, idiots, consequences

Heavily tattooed hands and arms do look as if they are dirty and may not be appropriate in some retail jobs. I never think that a brightly patterned dress looks very good if it's clashing with tattoos on the arms and chest, but presumably the people wearing the dresses don't mind. I did once see a bald man who had an incredible tattoo of a scorpion that covered almost all his head. I stopped to compliment him because it was stunning. Because it was on top of his hair it didn't clash with his clothes any more than a head of hair would have done so you could just admire it as a piece of art.
