It seems like an awful lot of female bodybuilders have ink–even more than the general population–so I’m interested in how people on here feel about that. Take the poll and feel free to comment:

Do you like tattoos on women?

No. Most tattoo looks ugly.

I think what it comes down to, for me, is the fact that I don’t mind ink one way or the other. If a lady wants to get ink to express an aspect of her history or personality, then it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. On the other hand, I do find some tattoos to be both obtrusive and obnoxious- like, for example, Taz (which was big a bit over a decade ago)- a tattoo, in my opinion, should be all about expressing who you are. If it’s just saying that you’re another sheep, following the herd and trying to fit in with whatever you perceive the status quo to be, then why bother?

When I see that tatoo on the back of that living, breathing Goddess Nicole Ball, I literally want to start crying. Seriously, tats belong on sailors, bikers, tough guys, and cons, not magnificent female bodybuilders.

You gotta keep in mind that 65% of young Americans have tattoos
No matter what station in life,..white collar to blue collar

I believe just about every Female bodybuilder from Europe listens to metal,has a punk-rock hairdo&has tats

Is that really correct? Sounds crazy.

Not a fan, but sometimes you see good looking tattoos that match personality. But not so often. Most of them are in just bad taste and following the trend with no really personal input.

It seems in the discussion boards these conversations are so one-sided but you can clearly see tattoos are liked in the street. So don’t they just like to use the internet or wtf?

Pretty sure that’s accurate. Moreso young adults than any other group, obviously.

And, of course, you’re right- when someone gets a tattoo just to be like everybody else who has a tattoo, it rarely works out well. Like any other form of body modification, getting a tattoo ought to be something that a person puts some thought into and really considers before doing. Maybe if more people did, we’d see fewer kneejerk, reactionary “all-tattoos-are-ugly” comments.
