So women with tattoos that are blatantly obvious ie- neck/face/hands/feet etc.
Are these women suffering some sort of identity crisis or is it that they believe it makes them cool/tuff/dangerous looking/sexy/standof-ish/more attractive etc.
I offer no opinion either way just wondering why they do it.
The ones on the face/neck/ hands etc could possibly very well be a distraction to facets of life later on couldn't it?
Or is it just to get more attention just like the blokes.
Some place them only in a location that can be covered and hidden others clearly favour total exposure.
Just wondering others takes on this.
I only asked about women as I'm male and i know why blokes do it.

I've wondered this as well. I've never had a desire to get a tattoo, whether hidden or in an easy-to-see location.
I had a friend who got a small bumblebee tattooed on her hip bone. She got it, she said, because she thought it was cute.
I have a niece who got her dad's signature tattooed on her wrist, shortly before he died (we knew he was dying). At least that situation makes sense.
Looking forward to reading the thoughts in this thread, since for the most part the subject baffles me.

I think this is quite a sexist question. Why does a woman need any more justification to get inked in these places than a man does?
You offer no opinion but the fact you started this thread speaks volumes about that which you are not saying.
For the record I'm a slightly tattooed fella...

I believe its a freedom act and a way of marking one's own territory. Women have had to be PC for a long time now, guess it's their way of saying enough is enough.a reply to: CthruU
Oh wow, you don’t even see how sexist your question is. Even though you directed this question at women only, knowing that this is something that men and women do in equal amounts?

Nothing sexest about it it's a question not a statement.
I offer no opinion because i don't have one, turn your "volume" down it's speaking volumes.
For your record - so am i.
