One thing about tattoos is that if they are done well and well proportioned, they look awesome.
Some women go for a tiny tattoo that means something to them....
Some tattoos are hidden beneath the clothing they wear...
I would consider that these tattoos are done in a artful/tasteful way...
I find very few women look good in a full body art tattoos. If tattoos are going to be a story, cramming the stories together compounds the story... From afar they look like a mass of dark skin, and the closer you get the more confused it becomes.
Very few women can pull off full body tattoos or have different tattoos match the other tattoos on their body.... Although most people look at tattoos as art for the body, most tattoos come from religious affiliations or to ward off evil spirits ( in some cultures).
Does the fact that you have a tattoo empowers you in some way? Probably....
I have to wonder how many men out there, have convinced their girlfriends to get a tattoo?
