I’m a huge fan of tattoos, but only when you get the right one. Tattoos are not a simple decision for anyone and the decision to get a tattoo should not be taken lightly, whether you are a man or a woman. A poorly placed or poorly designed tattoo can have the opposite effect that you are going for. In fact, it can dissuade potential partners rather than attract them.
A lot of girls are into guys with tattoos and vice versa, but no one likes tattoos just because you have them. They like when they look good and don’t look out of place. Here are some examples, for both men and women, of tattoos that are cool and some that are turn-offs. I know what you’re thinking. This is a dating blog so why am I writing about tattoos. Well, it makes a difference when it comes to finding someone to hook up with.

Patriotic tattoos can be cool if they are small and artistic. A flag is a good bet or a famous quote from history that you connect with.

Small, inconspicuous pieces are awesome. Showing them off is a great, subtle way to flirt.
Body ink behind your ear or on your ankles can be sexy.
Butterflies rock! They’re colorful and cute without being cheesy.
Get one just below your waistline and let it peek out.

I love tattoos on women when they are the right placement and type. This can be a huge turn on for many men as it makes them look sexier in my opinion. If you do decide to get one, be sure to mention that you have them in your dating profile and even show them off in your profile pic.
