Are tattooed people unaesthetic?

Both of my daughters are tattooed. They are not sluts, they are both in happy and long term relationships.

Well, the Chinese still have a healthy aesthetic sense. They take care of their white skin and don't want to look as if they have smeared brown excrement on their face. From this self-image they do not scribble with graphic scribbles. And don't tell me you carry works of art around with you.
The skin lives and changes constantly in shape, colour (and smell). Honestly written, 95% of tattoos do not look good. Only very few tattoos make a person-enhancing impression in the right place at the right time. This is the truth. You have messed up. You look like a mangy, hairless gutter dog who had too many bites. (In that sense, your social interactions have also led to these "wounds".) It's like herd branding that the cattle give themselves. There are perverse elements in your conditioning that have degenerated you. My sincere condolences.

They were both in their thirties when they got tattooed. It was their decision and they like the stamps.

Do you feel the same way. You see a pretty woman, you think she's very pretty. Suddenly she takes off her jacket. Both forearms fully tattooed and you almost puke.
My observation, the most beautiful women tend to be the ones who are most likely to get messed up.
Gladly in the format of large area skin cancer. :(

I don't personally have any tattoos, and while I don't find them aesthetically pleasing to the eye ... it goes much deeper than that: in most cases, tattoos have a story, and it's learning the genesis of the tattoo that I find to be appealing: A life event, memory or something else significant. I have always found eliciting that information to be a great conversation starter because it's personal and you learn something about the person.
 
I personally hate tattoos especially on women, but I don't care for them on anyone.

At the same time I'm not calling for them to be outlawed. Someone who wants to be full of tats and look like a freak has every right to.

Well, you can raise the kids with rewards. If the daughter doesn't get a tattoo, she'll get a nice car when she's 25. Nice Toyota, doesn't worry about 10 years. At 35 the car is worn out, but the body is flawless.
Daughter is very happy, has found a nice man, purity helps her in her job.
Daddy happy, daughter happy, everybody happy...

not in my opinion.

The day before yesterday I was at my stepbrother's. His daughter 17 years old is an angel, soft pretty features, slim, graceful. Long blonde hair. I was sitting on the terrace. She walks barefoot in thin white cloth trousers across the green lawn, which is speckled with flowers.
I think, full of humility, how wonderful, the youth so pure and graceful, that is the future.
She will one day be a dear mother.

In contrast to this metal bitch who lives next door, fat, arms full, hair neon and at 20 she already has a face like at 40. :(

Or you could raise them with moral standards (you know, like not leaping to undue judgement of people) and trust them to make their own decision.

How are you going to confirm your 25 year old daughter doesn't have a tattoo? I'd suggest that with your kind of attitude, you'd drive any children away long before that.

But better a car, moral standards often lack the maturity of the years.
 
On one ship I was on, my engine room buddies were all tatted up on their arms. We would hit the bars in some ports and I was always referred to as "the virgin" because I never got tattooed. We had fun with it, especially when some sporting ladies were trying to work us.

I did 20 years and never got a tattoo, which is almost a anomaly among snipes and deck apes.

Went I sent my daughter to Radford University and she got a dolphin tattooed on her butt cheek within a month.

I don't care what people do.

A beautiful woman covered in tats is like a ferrari with bumper stickers.

So you don't care about people being good, moral individuals as long as you can bribe them to look the way you want them to look? If the only thing stopping them getting a tattoo is the promise of a new car, has the parent really achieved anything? Why wouldn't you just end up with a tattooed 26-year old in a nice car?

You also didn't address the practical issues with your plan. I assume (hope!) you've never been in the position to put it in to practice.

I find nothing wrong with that. And in both cases, it can be done tastefully or horrendously. And of course both are matters of subjective opinion.

Per the topic, tattoos. I have no piercings and we remove hair as needed.

So explain how shaving face, legs, and armpits and piercing ears and wearing make-up are not defacing what the Lord gave you. I am assuming proper grooming of said hair is not defacing. If the removal of hair from, or the placing of extra holes for non-medical purposes in, or painting upon the pristine work of art that is your body is not defacing what the Lord gave you then neither is getting tattoos.

I specifically mentioned tattoos and yes that would be defacing IMO. Piercings and shaven hair are self-repairing.....tattoos are not.

Piercings scar. How is purposefully doing something that will scar not defacing? Or for that matter why is temporary not defacement, especially if you do it repeatedly?

Also people will get tattoos to cover up scars from accidents and surgery. Is that defacing as well?

Third example: my one wife is planning a tattoo of a medical alert bracelet on her wrist, because she has had issue with the actual bracelets in the past. Would this also classify as defacement?

And since we're defining defacement, is getting the procedure where hair is permanently removed and doesn't grow back defacement?
