Would you ever go out with/marry someone who strongly disliked your ink?

I don't think you're being close-minded or shallow. I don't think I'd get involved with someone who made it clear they disapproved and disliked my ink work. It's part of me so they should accept me as a whole. Luckily my partner love my ink and actually designed 1 of them for me.

If all of your ink is places easily hidden then you could get involved with someone that doesn't like tattoos but at the same time they would have got to know you before they have seen them and should accept you for who you are. If they liked you before they saw your ink then why should it change when they discover you have it.

If your ink is clearly visible ( ar at least some of it is) then realistically speaking if they are going to judge you from the way you look then are they really the sort of person you would want to be involved with.

People should not judge others by looks/style/body additions. Unfortunately it is something that happens all too often.

I think if they respect it, then its ok they don't have to like it. Its not everyones preference and that doesn't mean they don't like you for you. I think you are taking it too seriously, there is worse in the world I mean if you have found a guy you love and is good to you, why should whether or not he likes your ink? on the other hand if he tells you he hates it and really doesn't just let it be then yeah he isn't respecting you and is trying to changed you. In that case I think it would just cause problems and maybe you should find someone more like minded.

I would never be with anyone who didn't at least respect my ink. Like you said, they don't have to love it, they just need to respect the fact that it's an expression of myself and it's something I really love. If they can't even do that, they aren't right for me.

I probably wouldn't go out with someone who didn't like my ink. It's a part of me and something they have to accept.

yeah of course i would!

Not everyone's going to have the same opinion on something, or like every little thing about the person their dating,we all have our likes and dislikes etc and that what makes us an individual.

I totally love my ink, don't get me wrong, but it wouldn't bother me if i was dating someone who wasn't a fan of it, well unless he kept pestering me to get it removed THEN he'd get removed from my life hehe.

i'm not even sure how that would be possible, given the hater wouldn't like me from the beginning anyway, nor would he be interested in getting to know the person under the ink.

No, I wouldn't. Why should I? Too many women like my ink for me to go out with one that doesn't.

Probably not. but then again everyone I date is as interested in ink as I am. But you should date someone who respects your ink and decisions on them. It makes you unique.. & if they cant deal with your ink addiction, kickem to the curb :)

I agree with you...as long as they accept that your tattoos are there forever and they're important to you and a part of you...why not go out with him/her. if the person is constantly bitching about them and making nasty comments or something...forget it! they should take you for who you are and respect that everyone has different opinions

WOW!!!

Your tatoo is HOT!!

I cant even see it right but I know it's pretty? Can you e-mail me a talker lol.

If they didn't like tattoos it would be okay but if they were against MY tatoo and disrespected me or my tattoo or labeled me because of my tat, it would be so over.
