Here and now in 2025, which of the following responses would be closest to your views about a person with tattoos?
Awesome! This could be my soulmate. Giddy up!
Meh. People should be judged by the content of their character and not by the tattoos on their body.
Red flag! If this is their judgement on this matter, who knows what else lies ahead. 
Any further thoughts?

Wouldn’t get one (mar the natural beauty of my skin? I think not. Put that shit on the wall or something). But, it’s a personal choice. I may dislike some more than others but it isn’t any kind of dealbreaker in itself.
How about a “I don’t care” option. I feel like the “meh” option is still negatively judgmental about it. I’m neutral about a couple tats. If someone has a sleeve done or have blacked out their body or had face tats or have their ex’s name tatted on them that might be different though.
My attempt to modify the poll / questions appears to be blocked. Sorry! But that’s why we have comments on this thread, aside from the poll.

If you want to be a fucking individual, don’t get a tattoo. Every fucker’s got one these days.
+1 on this. I truly don’t care unless it’s clearly over the top.
I think it’s interesting how it went from full sleeve to graphics not touching
Ditto.
Some tats may affect job opportunities but that’s their choice.
So this for a potential mate? I’m not sure. My wife and I don’t have any tattoos and we’ve been together forever. I don’t care when it comes to others. It makes no difference in how I interact with someone.
Terrible survey. Where is the distinction between face tats, full sleeves, and a tasteful skunk mowing the lawn?
What did you think of my tattoos?
Lower back? I like it
That is the beauty of forumosa. You too are free to set up your own poll!
I was drunk. It was dark. I can’t remember.

I’ve closed the poll. Thank you to forumosans who participated.

I draw the line at neck tattoos…unless it’s a tattoo of a dairy cow.
Yeah right, you would recognize the difference between milk and beef cow tats directly from a mile away.
It’s my superpower. 
As with everything, there’s a sense of proportion. One or even two tattoos on the arm or ass or wherever - not my style, but whatever. Tattoos that cover the entire back, face, chest, or arms are a different story, and full body tattoos are insanity. Having tattoos all over the place like Yakuza or bikers can actually lead to skin-related health problems like Vitamin D deficiency from lack of sunlight, increased skin cancer risk, lymph node buildup of ink carcinogens, ink blocking MRI scans, and blockage of the sweat glands. Allegedly heavily tattooed people’s skin feels cold from lack of the natural sweating process. How do you think your body would feel if you never took off your clothes, ever, and never gave your skin a chance to breathe?

Don’t think so…
My take on tattoos? I prefer scars, scars you get on adventures.
Tattoos you get in a shop, lying or sitting down, doing nothing, except for enduring pain.
Scars, however, tell a story. You have been somewhere, have experienced something (hopefully not too terrible), and you might have a cool story to tell. Live a life of adventure and you’ll get those scars. No need for ink, no need to pick your brain to think of some unique image that will never be truly uniquely yours anyway.
