men and women with tattoos, hot or not?

1. I think tattoos make people look less intelligent.
2. I think tattoos make people less intelligent.

There is no difference simply putting the word" looks" in a sentence does not change the objective incorrectness of the statement . And it remains a false judgement on appearance . Sorry that bothers you . 

It doesn't bother me, that's exactly what I'm saying. It is a false judgement based on looks. When you don't otherwise know someone, looks are all you've got to go and we all make initial judgements based on that. I never said it wasn't a false judgement.  I said that I think it makes them look less intelligent. Whether or not they actually turn out to be less intelligent remains to be seen. 

If I see a guy on a street corner wearing a rainbow clown wig and a t-shirt that says John 3:16 on it, I'm going to form some opinions about that individual. If I were to get to actually know that individual, then I would discover if those initial judgements were accurate or not. You're slamming me for doing this but honestly I don't think I'm all that unusual in this respect.

Wait a second, people appear to be debating whether tattoos are hot or not? What the actual fuck?!

It's purely a matter of motherfucking taste! Sheesh!

I don't see the point in getting offended by others opinions of tattoos. Especially because I always considered not giving a shit what strangers think of you as a factor in getting one.

[Edwardo Piet]

Right.

I'm not offended

The thread asked for opinions of men and women with tattoos. I think they make people look stupid. That is my opinion and it is entirely valid as it applies to me and me only. There is no need nor point in debating it. You can disagree with it if you like. You can get all butt hurt because someone feels differently than you if that's what you want to do. But you're not going to prove me wrong because there is nothing to prove when it comes to subjective opinions. I think they make people look less intelligent. Depending on their placement and content, I think they also make people look a bit narcissistic and possibly insecure. In four words, they're not for me.

If they're for you, great. Tattoo your fucking grocery list on your forehead for all I care. I don't like them, I'm not going to like them. Actually, now that we're discussing it, I think I'll have to take that statement back. As a hiring manager, I have to say I do appreciate them in that they let me know a bit more about what kind of applicant I'm looking at right up front. In that respect, I think they're great.

I'm getting your face tattooed on my forearm in living color.

tattoos are ok but the world would be a better place without them

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because it's just ink on skin. Not really necessary or beneficial. Pain and risk of infection just to have some words or pictures (that people have mixed opinions about anyway) on your body permanently.

It's like when back in high school some people there thought smoking was cool. It just looked cool to them. But to me I just don't see why inhaling smoke then exhaling it was considered cool.

Oh and the "world would be a better place without them" is a bit dramatic on my part.

Comparing smoking to tattoos is rather silly.
