    I've yet to see one that isn't (in my opinion) tacky.

    Tramp stamp is a major no-no imo.
    Unless its on a stripper.

    I have 3 tattoos and will probably get more done to so no dont think there tacky, but do think it depends greatly on what tattoo you get or have proper tattoos arent tacky. Op get a poll going:).

    I should be more specific: other people's tattoos might be tacky. Mine is cool.

    I've got one, a wolf on my arm. Don't regret it no. I like wolves, couldn't care less whether anyone else thinks it's tacky or cool.

    blokes get tattoo's in a effort to look tough..women get tattoo's so they can show more flesh.

    people who try to say they are art are just fooling themselves.

    Some are cool, the real artwork ones. But majority of people who get them just get them to have a tattoo. And as with all things powered by sheep it ends up with alot of people looking stupid.

    Well, I haven't ever seen a woman with a tatoo and thought "that really improves things".

    Also that "one arm" thing that a lot of blokes have these days is just retarded.

    I think if a tattoo has some very special meaning or is something to do with very personal memories etc, its cool. But people just getting random designs or squiggles etc, it's just a bit gay really...

    My advice - as an oldie:)- imagine what it would look like on the fat 50 year old in the chipper or your girlfriend/boyfriends granny with the bad hip.

    Ye are all heading there - and you can take the piercings out and change the image but tatoos are for life. If you have to get one - at least get one you can cover with average summer clothes.

    I am not obsessed with fashion but I think an elegant evening dress doesn't look quite the same with a huge barbed wire tat on the shoulder.

    It depends where they are aswell though, nothing worse than seeing tatts on a womans chest I think. Each to their own though

    The difference between people who have tattos and those who don't, is that people with tattoos don't care if someone else doesn't have them.

    If you like them, get them if you want; if you don't, don't. Don't waste time worrying about what other people think is "cool".
