plaetton: In Europe and American it has become normal for people, men and women, to have different types of Tatoos on different parts of their bodies.
Since, generally speaking, we are a people beholden fads,it is becoming common in Nigeria for ladies, especially the young ones , to have visible tatoos on the upper parts of their bodies.

My first impressions when I see a lady with tatoos on her body is usually "irresponsible,vain,good for fun and thrills but never to be taken serious," etc etc.

Is it just me or do more men get these first impressions?

If so,aren't the ladies jeopardizing or limiting their chances of being taken serious by potential suitors and life partners?

lets here from m everyone, especially the gentlemen.

The tribal marks have been on the faces of our ancestors for a long time and our generations and those of our parents basically rejected it - now we think Tattoos look hot! Mstchew!

God save us from the white people evl desease.It is un-African and improper for a lady brought up in a goidly way.One should blame parents for their irresponsible roles in child training.To me it is wrong.No right thinking African guy will go for them except the ones that has been infected with the immoral virus of the whites

years back. my friend had this fair complexioned gf with a small cobra tatoo on her forehead. because she comes around in the evenings for our night out i never noticed it.

when she stayed over a weekend and i saw it and she claimed to have been born that way. it was like the medical symbol with its flickers pronounced.

Man hail O! Damn odd and scary
Re: Nigerian Ladies And The Tatoo Craze by poweredcom(m): 10:29pm On Jul 16, 2012

@Poster... iLove the way you handled the irrational females. It shows a great level of maturity in you.

THE MESSAGE: if you're proud of who u are and u appreciate yourself, you won't be found in a tattoo parlour fooling around with your body. A lady/man with a tattoo ain't responsible!! You should pay less attention to meaningless fashion and spend more time building a life!

Re: Nigerian Ladies And The Tatoo Craze by kandiikane(m): 3:09am On Jul 17, 2012
To those ignoramus people saying tattoing is un-African. Please, come out of your holes. Tattooing is part of many cultures in Africa.

Maybe not as creative(art wise) as modern tattoos but tattooing per se has always been part of our culture.

That's how people from different ethnicities identify eachother.

plaetton:

He he he.
Bleeping does not discrimate.
pls read my post again. you missed something there.
Here is the issue in another way. If am a bachelor looking to settle soon and I go to a gathering or party where there lots of pretty ladies to mingle with.
Who am I likely to want to mingle with at first sight?
A beautiful lady with tatoos on her chest, hands and neck or another equally beautiful lady with no tatoos at all? Now, if I was a player and wanted some quick action, My automatic instincts would opt for the tatoo girl because her tatoo is like a poster that says" I' vain, easy and carefree". I might be 100% wrong, but that is the perception.
If on the other hand, i was looking for a lady for keeps, again my instincts would go with the non-tatoo lady.
This is how we men think. You can choose not believe it because you are a woman and you think in different patterns from men.

that is why I raised this topic for all to contribute.

I would also behave in the same way if I were an employer of labour.

I feel u. This is my thought on it too
Re: Nigerian Ladies And The Tatoo Craze by londoner: 10:52am On Jul 17, 2012
Well.......if we are talking about the average African man (unless tatooing is part of his culture) he will see a woman as irresponsible if she has a tatoo. A girl may see a guy as following fashion and immature if he gets a tatoo after a certain age.

The perception of people with tatoos as being cheap or dangerous is something which is also global in varying degrees.

Some people, even if white feel they need to cover up their tatoos in certain situations like job interviews, because they are aware of the possible negative perception of them.

It doesn't mean it is an accurate assessment of anyone, but people do judge by appearance.

I have noticed the rising trend and what I dislike about it the most, is the fact that many tatooists in Nigeria are not trained properly and their tattoos are quite poor.

By the way, live nigerian females alone, if you dont like the tats walk on by. Is this nairaland a boys club or what.

I like tattoos, I have some and it's not uncommon in the old days in our culture. I don't see the big deal.

My GF has tribal marks on her face and I can't wait till she gets stateside so she can indulge in some tattoos too.
Re: Nigerian Ladies And The Tatoo Craze by NovusHomo(m): 12:43am On Jul 18, 2012
Nigerians, always late. Americans are beginning to remove their tatoos at five times the cost of putting them on in the first place.

haruna1970: Are you just waking up? It's not a new trend. My grandmother wrote her maiden name on her arms. They didn't call it tattoo then. I wonder what they call it.

Don't mind em hypocrites. My great grandmother died at 108 in the year 2003. She had tatoos all over her body. Just imagine!

stagger: Has anyone bothered to study the health implications?

Hepatitis C is very readily spread by dirty tattoo needles, and from what I see concerning sterilization of even clippers in saloons, this could be a huge problem.

And that is why you should always go to a tattoo-place that have everything in order, and ALWAYS use a new needle.

Wrong.

Many ethnic tribes in Africa has used tattooes for many, many years. Google it.

Never go for only good price, always look at the reputation of the tattoo-artist. You risk getting infections, that the colour fade fast, not enough filling, bad lining, etc...
Re: Nigerian Ladies And The Tatoo Craze by JallowBah(f): 7:06pm On Jul 25, 2012
I find it strange that so many african people in here dont even recognize the fact that tattooing has been part of the african culture for many, many years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tattoo
Little bit about some of the history about tattooes.

In Scandinavia and Eu, tattooes are more and more common. Some do it for fashion, some for statement, some for the love of art.
My husband loves my tattooes. Maybe because he is a fulani, grew up half-nomadic, and all the old women he knows, have face and chest heavily tattooed?
He thinks it is beautiful, and a part of me, but at the same time, he dont want me to get TOO many. But; too many for him, and too many for me, is not the samewink

Yes, they look down at people here with tattoos as well, and it is not for everybody. Yes, I tend do cover them slightly before a job interview or request to rent a house ( but I have never gotten a no on either.. ), because I know people might judge.

I love my tattooing, and there will be more. The only thing I regret it not getting more big pieces done, instead of ceveral small ones. But that will be fixed in some years.

If you do decide to get a tattoo, please:
- Dont take something for fashion, or because everyone else does it
- Dont go to the cheapest one, unless he also have a good rep
- Do your researc, and never get a tattoo from an artist who do not use a brand new needle
- Take something important for you.
- Think about your future

Any questions about tats? Feel free to ask..smiley

Don't mind them. They think only the western people do tattoos and it's an abomination when many cultures in africa do tattoos.

Good. Too many people dosmiley But; If you do find a very, very good salon that have a teachers-boy/girl doing tats for lower prices..go for it. IF that person makes a mistake, the one who train him/her will fix it later on. Takes longer time, though, but for me it was a good dealsmiley
