sheniwood Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 UPDATE: As some of you pointed out, this poll had to be redifined with more choices. Sorry if you have already voted. FACTS: According to a poll conducted on January 2008 in the United States by Harris Interactive, 14% of the Americans say they have at least one tattoo, just slightly down from 2003, when 16% had a tattoo. Among age groups, 32% of those ages 25-29 and 25% of those 30-39 have tattoos. The youngest age group (18-24) is one of the groups least likely to have a tattoo (9%). Men are just slightly more likely to have a tattoo than women (15% versus 13%). "In the past five years, much has been discussed about the stigmas of those with tattoos. But, that does not seem to have much of an impact of the number of people who have them. But, if the number of the youngest age group continues to shun tattoos, there may be a change in those having tattoos in the long run."

azure Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 not hot if its unoriginal and chiche; like a tribal pattern on the forearm or chinese symbols i think nick lemon's tats are fug but i matt loewens ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperIShot Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 well i think it's all in good taste if it doesnt show anything explicit, etc....there does seem to be more and more models having tats now more than ever....10 yrs ago u would HARDLY find it on the runway or ad!! times def have changed!! being a lass with two tats herself (celtic tats on my left middle finger and left wrist), i def support a model having a tat/tats...but like i said, it should be in good taste, nothing sleezy or explicit....so i suppose to answer HOT or NOT? it can go either way for me....i think Andrew Stetson's tats are beautiful, more so than Nick Lemons....

sheniwood Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yeah you're right, now there are much more tattooed models, but I think these models are exaggerating: Dan Felton, Paul A and Sascha Kooienga Sources: Request Models Red Models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardamanutd Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I don't really like tattoos because they spoil the overall image of the model. Models without them appeal to me more. but then again i have a few exceptions myself, Fernando Torres' and Josh Beech's tattoos are really nice.

sheniwood Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 I prefer them without tattoos, however a well-designed tattoo in the right place can look sexy (like Bryan Thomas, Clint Mauro). What I don't like are tattoos covering an arm or all over the body? <_<. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M--- Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think it can look cool but you've got to be careful - it doesn't look good on anyone I think. On the whole I'd tend to no tattoos but they can look really hot. I probably wouldn't get one though because I'd probably get really bored of the tattoos after like 6 years or so... So - tattoos yes, if it suits you. Like Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mina Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Small tattoos can look very good. But covering whole bodyparts, like your arms or your back? Oh God no....I don't understand how someone can do that... I mean... Don't they think about how their skin will look like when they are older? But over all I think without tattoos it's way more appealing and hotter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M--- Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 if its something personal then its hot I couldn't vote for this because I'm somewhere in the middle. I think it CAN be hot, but shouldn't be overdone. Too much is a bit tacky imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fashion_Princess Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I think it depends. There are very few guys I find sexy with a lot of tattoos. I really don't care but I prefer few to no tattoos over the whole body being taken over with body art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrence01 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Depends on the nature of your community. If you live in heaven then it not Hot... I don't like in Heaven can't do what I like..Well, honestly, I will vote for "YES". Generally, people who have tattoo has that powerful spirit inside them... They know how to protect themselves..Less crying more on action... Do not tell me they are not HOT. They are actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
