I have about three tattoos. But, I am only in love with two. A lot of my girlfriends have at least one tattoo that they wish they could remove or one that they wish they’ve never inked on.
While Angelina Jolie may boast yet another tattoo, a new survey shows 47 percent of men find tattoos on women to be a turn off. (I think that every time I see Mary J. Blige in a sleeveless dress with that big ass tattoo on the upper half of her arm. It’s so manly and rough.) The same Ask Jeeves survey also reveals as many as 38 percent of women feel the same way about men with tattoos. The FDA estimates that 45 million Americans have at least one tattoo and an estimated 50 percent of individuals with tattoos, eventually grow dissatisfied and want them removed.
I hate when I see young girls with tattoos on their neck or hands. (You know, the places that you can’t cover up in a job interview.) Curious to know what you think.

I have 3 tattoos and love them. The one on my upper left arm is a cover up. My name used to be there and as I got older I hated it. The tattoo there now was custom drawn with something that has meaning to me and I now love it. It’s more art to me than a tattoo and I always receive compliments on it. However, I do not show my tattoos at formal events, I cover them with dermablend. Definitely think before you ink.
