These are all awesome. My plain skin husband (I don't really like that phrase either, but he won't care if I use it) now even says to people, when they ask why I have a piranha on my arm.."because it's awesome!". Gotta love a non tattooed person who gets it.

Delicious you're still very young, don't worry about it. The point is not to mold yourself into the perfect woman that men will like. Be who you are and you will eventually find someone who loves you for exactly that. Trying to mold yourself into what you think a man wants is crazy. First off, every man has a different idea of the perfect woman. Second, what will the point be in 10 years when you have a man, but don't have yourself? Besides, peoples opinions change. If you asked my husband 10 years ago, he didn't like tattoos on anyone. But we met, had tons in common, he looked past the tattoos, and now he loves them on me and admires them as an art form. People change and have the capacity to look past things they may not love, and even change their minds. So don't stress it, get the tattoos you want, and give it time. You'll find someone who loves you for you.

Also will add..just b/c a guy says they don't like tattoos on women..doesn't mean they wouldn't date you if they liked you. I find tattooed men more attractive than non tattooed, but that would never stop me from dating a non tattooed guy. We all have a list if preferences, we don't need to have every one fulfilled.

I'm personally grateful for the built-in filter that my tattoos provide; I have enough now that the guys who don't like 'em mostly don't bother to approach me. Narrowing the dating pool a little isn't necessarily a bad thing--a whole category of "not good for me" I don't have to worry about!
My current boyfriend has no tattoos but has seen me through about half of my collection, and has been pretty supportive of it.

I think, as long as it's quality work, tattoos will fine on big people. And I think definitely go big, but then, small tattoos that don't fill the space they're in annoy me. I think, especially as a heavy person, getting something that makes you proud of your body is a good thing! And good tattoos would do that, I'd think. Shoot I"m overweight, and every tattoo I get makes me feel more beautiful:)

Give me a minute to figure out how to post this picture..

This is my current favorite, though I have another one in progress by the same artist that may very well be more awesome..but I don't want to post unfinished tattoo pictures:) I'm working on a full sleeve, then will be taking a break, as I've been getting tattooed alot more often than I'm used to. I usually get tattooed once every couple years, and I've been getting tattooed every 3 months or so for awhile, working on this sleeve, so I'm worn out:)

My husband has no tattoos and is not an "alternative" sort of person in any way..no piercings, no tattoos, no wild hair, nothing. He wears polo shirts every day:) He's an ex cop so definitely has the straight laced look. I love tattoos and will probably be fully covered one day (well, no hands/face/neck, unless I win the lottery and don't have to work). It's caused no friction between us, luckily. I tell him my ideas, he gives me input on what he thinks will look best. He is an artistic person so that helps. He'll brainstorm good tattoo ideas for me! But he's very supportive, luckily. It would be hard for me to be with a person who wasn't. He talks about maybe getting one eventually, but who knows. The good thing, I tell him, is if he wants a tattoo, I won't let him go small/cheap. He has mentioned getting a tattoo of a train, and I have the perfect train half sleeve mapped out for him in my mind :)
One thing I'll add, I think it helps we both have expensive hobbies. Me tattoos, and he does a lot of war gaming, and he paints that models that he uses, so the painting and tournaments he goes to can be expensive and eat up a lot of time. We both like guns, which is also expensive. But I think it helps, b/c he understands the importance of finding a good artist and spending what is needed to get great work. He never tries to get me to find a cheaper artist, b/c he gets it.

I've never tattooed anyone, but I don't see how you're skin will stretch out and make that shading better. It's not blended well at all. I wouldn't go back to the original tattooer.
