In years past I was right where you are Music. I hated tattoos. Perhaps for the same generational attitudes that Juanjo and Foxyman refer to above. The stereotype being that tattoos were (at best) for sailors, but mostly criminals and prisoners, and rough and tumble kind of bad-boy, shady types of characters. I've come to be more accepting of them though as society has come to view them with less negativity. But not to the extent of becoming a fan, like Foxyman. haha I can even remember falling out of love with certain Broke Straight Boys models years ago who went crazy with adding tattoos.
The same thing has happened for me in reverse though too. Certain models I grew to be much more accepting of, even as they added more. I wasn't crazy about Cage Kafig when he first showed up, mainly because of all the tattoos. But I grew to really really like him. His personality as a human being totally won me over. Then it was like every time he showed up he had ever more tattoos added. By that point I was already so won over by him and invested in him, that I had no choice but to overlook the fact that he was absolutely covered in tats. haha I'm glad though that he didn't go into his beautiful face with ink. That might have been a bridge too far for me. haha![]()
I too have a real soft spot for Cage Kafig and must admit that I do love his tatts and also that great accent of his, I could really fall for this guy lol. Totally agree with you about tattoos on the face, as a lover of guys with tatts its the one area that I am not a fan of. I am not sure that society in general is really very accepting of those people both Male and female that do this. I know from experience having worked for the past 25 years with unemployed people in England that it still is a real barrier to work. However usually when people get this extreme tattoos done it is for a reason, probably a very good one at the time, not so sure they feel the same way 10 years down the line.
