    To me tattoos are like graffiti. It’s art that enhances the beauty of the otherwise plain architecture.

      I prefer not to see property covered in illegal graffiti, but I must say quite a bit of it is outstanding art. It amazes me how someone can spray paint the correct proportions in a railway yard, on a bridge or any difficult area to access. I enjoy looking at well done graffiti more than walking around the Louvre.

      In the human body plain indicates health. Blemishes such as moles or spider veins indicate poor health. The brain interprets tattoos as a blemish.

          From https://www.brandeis.edu/writing-program/write-now/2021-2022/azevedo-ligia/index.html

          On top of that, the most important confirmation of my research is that men do indeed prefer women without body hair, no matter if it’s located in the leg and/or armpit. In the “choose the most attractive picture” questions, the photo of a woman without body hair was rated significantly more attractive than the one with body hair, with 95.2% of the participants choosing the hairless women. When it came to explaining their answers, the participants stated the following opinions: preferring partners with smooth skin (95.2% of the participants), seeing body hair as an emasculating feature (85.7%), and considering that females “just look better” without body hair (28.5%). These results demonstrate that body hair is associated with femininity, and having a hairless body is an expectation of men towards women.

            Well they obviously didn’t ask me, I love my women bushy. Or ask anyone from before the 70’s.

            And just for good measure, YOURE A MISOGYNISTIC ASSHOLE.

                It’s pretty gross how hard you’re trying to convince people that it’s normal to like prepubescent girls.

                  The article said that some respondents explained that hairless bodies made women appear younger. Body hair on women is not a blemish in that it’s not a flaw, but it makes women less attractive.

            In what the sample size of…3? from the esteemed publication… Glamour magazine.

            Multiple mentions of a survey, no mentions of how many were in the survey pool, how many responded, demographic information outside of “18-38”, or any other pertienant details.

            So cool, a student research paper you allege wrote that is based on Glamour magazine and a unsubstantiated survey. Hope it was worth the Brandeis tuition 🤣

              I couldn’t find any scientific studies on tattoos but the Brandeis study on body hair was scientific. Both studies seem to agree; men like women with plain skin. If men only find tattoos on women attractive if they’re small and hidden, they prefer women not to have tattoos.

        I have never thought about it that way. Thanks for a explanation why some people may not like tattoos.
