Biggest Turn-Off Tattoos

Funny article I found @ jilliansjournal.com I added the pix and some comments of my own.

Getting a tattoo, for most people at least, is sort of a big decision. Its one of those life long decisions that isnt easily taken back (and somewhat messily if so). It also has evolved as a way of making a statement about a person. A person stamp indicating the bearers soul, or something like that.

Still, despite the hip factor of tattoos, there are some which can be instant turn-offs to the opposite sex. Below are five of the worst offenders. Getting the below tattoos might speak to your inner soul, but it might speak louder to potential dates, screaming, Run away!

The name of an ex

This one should be obvious. Yes, there is the romanticism of permanently branding yourself with the name of your significant other. Wait, strike that last part. There is nothing romantic about that. Instead it seems to signal a sort of sad co-dependency you share. That’s made even worse when you’re no longer with that person.

The worst thing you can ever do in a relationship is completely subjugate yourself. A tattoo of the other persons name is the adult equivalent of your mother writing your name in your underwear before camp. It signals that left to your own devices you would lose track of whom you belonged to. Youd be better served by instead getting their favorite flower, animal, or line of poetry tattooed in honor of them.

Anything to do with a band

It can be guaranteed said band thinks far less of you than you do of them. See the above rule. Buy a t-shirt or a second copy of their new CD instead.

Someone’s face

The obvious problem with getting an actual face tattooed on you can easily relate back to one of the issues listed above. Less obvious, at least to some, is that a face is generally meant to look one certain way–the way the person looks. With Mario or the devil there is some artistic interpreting to be done.

So, in about ten years when youve put on a few pounds, that face is going to look bloated. Not just bloated, but horribly distorted depending on the amount of weight gained. Compare that to Mario who looks kind of funny the fatter he gets. Jack Johnson, on the other hand, begins looking kind of scary. This may not be so much a concern for the immediate future, but if you think you might be on the market again, its probably to keep one face per body.
