I'm covered in ink. Sleeves, chest piece, stomach and ribs. No neck or hands, that's another level. Seems most here chose the 'clean' route, as if tattoos are somehow unclean. Ink is everywhere, to the point people hardly notice anymore, so the idea of a girl being repulsed by it is ridiculous. People from all walks of life have them, not just prison imposters as was ignorantly spewed previously. My last concern is what some hole in a skirt thinks, but just like everything, there are those that like them and those that don't. I will say having them has helped me gain access to venues and the chicks in them, that I otherwise may not have gone to. At the least, more conversations then I can recall, have been started by girls or groups of girls inquiring about my ink. The fact is, there are tons of chicks that love the rock star, athlete, bad boy image that well done tattoos evoke. I love walking into a bar, taking off an Armani suit jacket, rolling my shirt up and watching people scramble to guess who just walked in. It's your life, do what's right for you. FTW
