Mynd_44: I am indifferent to it until you body looks like Lil Wayne's and then it just hideous

Killz.:

I'm not a fan of tattoos or any kind of body mutilation. . .

ijebabe:
Why ever not! Its not the same as body mutilation so don't even use those 2 words in the same sentence!

Mynd_44:
Actually they are not far from each other

Well, i like classifying them together to remind myself of the gravity of whatever it is. . . Well, small tattoos look nice actually. But i won't fall heads over heels for you cos of a tattoo. . . Mi o raye [i]s[/i]hit mehn!

ijebabe:
Hahaha. I don't mean it as a reason to fall in love but it seems like Nigerians are turned off by them. Imagine taking a girl home to meet your folks and she's got a big one on! I had a friend who got married last year and as per their culture he had to do the ceremony shirtless. This guy was a nervous wreck, he thot his in-laws would cancel the wedding on the spot cos he had a massive tatt on his arm! I guess it's all about moderation.

Jojo Armani: me I like small meaninful tattos but wen it get to dat Lil wayne style i no follow again. But one tin I know about tattos is once u start wit one b4 u know it, is all over ur body. Cos people get addicted to de pains of de tatto. So from time to time dey need to feel de pin pains agains dats why u see people drawing all their body including their .............................

cowgurl: Geez! I love tatoos n secretly wished I could crest one but I sure can't cos my folks will 'kill' me. And yes I can date/marry a guy who's gat tatts (not lik lil wayne's o' course, even though I luv his songs). Am all for modesty.

ijebabe: ^^ That's the stereotype most people have about people with tatts and I'm not saying its totally unfounded but there are decent, mature people who have tatts and you wouldn't know it till they undressed in front of you.

Goldieluks: I was so desperate to get a love shape tattoo on my hand, but I had to refrain from it when my man showed me the bible verse on how God hates it. Really and truely tattoo is overrated and it doesn't make one the most exposed or the most civilzed.

apocalypse: I won't date a girl who has tattoos or piercings

ijebabe:
Yes, and not to eat pork and lepers, cripples and the blind to be ostracised etc. Those laws were made for a different time and I don't think i'm sinning because I purely (can I say that?) love tatts cos its art to me. I guess its shady when religion is involved!

slimyem: aww...you missing!
Piercings are cool...esp. one on the belly button

ijebabe: I would like to get your thoughts on an issue that really shouldn't be an issue! Or so I think.

I love tattoos and have always admired them as beautiful works of art, and more so since I have an arts background and have been surrounded by artists with georgeous body art, but due to some unfortunate circumstances I have been unable to get them. My family and some friends have been against the idea from the start because it's a sin (according to my mom), and the small ish about it being permanent . I have had a friend say he will stop all contact with me if I did get one! Religious reasons obviously. Look, I love God and I don't think he'll chuck me to hell for getting a tattoo. It doesn't make me any less of a woman or a child of God in any way. Well luckily for me, I have been 'blessed' with a man who loves tatts as well and currently has six on his body and getting the 7th over the weekend, a tribute to remember his late mom by. I want to understand why Nigerians can be so closed-minded about this in our modern times. When will people start to realise that getting a tattoo doesn't make you a thug or a slut! I don't support children getting tatts as I feel they can make that choice when they're adults.

This is just my opinion but I would like to know ladies if you'd date or marry a guy with tatts and guys if you'd do the same. Mature responses I beg una!

fubbyy: I have a total of six.. And will still get more

Goldieluks:


It depends on the individual really. If your conscience agrees with it, ok. But if it doesn't, then it is better to refrain.

MsDarkSkin:

"I'm tat-tat-tatted up"

nothing wrong with tattoos.
