I would like to see what everybody thinks about tattoos for women. I live in a culture where everyone hasta los chiquillos tienen tatuajes.(well, a slight exaggeration) I have my own opinion on this, which will be a little humorous but I will hear what y'all have to say first. Go for it!

Hola, Daniela, voy a empezar con mi opinión. Espero que nadie tiene un problema con élla.

Bien, personalmente, no me gustan tatuajes en mujeres o cualquiera otra persona, pero sé muchas personas que los tienen un montón de tatuajes en su cuerpo. Yo no debía conseguir uno nunca, pero no tiene una objeción si una persona quiere que cubrir todo su cuerpo con tatuajes excepto si fue mi hija. Realmente, no deseo que ella recibir un tatuaje jamás.

Hi Daniela, I will begin with my opinion. I hope no one has a problem with it.

Well, personally, I do not like tattoos on women or any other person, but I know many people that have a lot of tattoos on their body. I would not ever get one, but I don't have an objection if a person wants to cover their whole body with tattoos, except if it was my daughter. Really, I do not want her to ever receive a tattoo.

I don't have a tattoo.

I have seen some good ones and bad ones.

For both men and women who have them maybe an idea would be to tattoo a "Users Guide" on an appropriate area of their body.

Yo no tengo un tatuaje.

He visto algunos buenos y los malos.

Tanto para los hombres y mujeres que tienen ellos tal vez una idea sería la de tatuarse una "Guía del usuario" en un área apropiada de su cuerpo.

Para mí los tatuajes y aún de vez en cuando las joyas son un poco tal costumbres como cuando los salvajes se adornan con pinturas y plumas. Ellos son primitivos pero puede ser que la gente moderna es primitivo también en su alma.

For me, tattoos and even sometimes jewellery are a little bit such customs as when the Savage sare decorated with paintings and feathers. They are primitive, but it may be that modern people are also primitive in their soul.

Tattoos are a major part of Native American culture. Each Indian tribal group has their own purpose for incorporating tattoos. However, the primary reason for tattoos was to identify different tribal groups and grant special powers to its members.

I don't really care one way or the other. People can do as they please as long as it doesn't hurt someone else. I don't have one, but that's just me. smile

No tengo ningún pero creo que si una mujer (o un hombre) quiere tenerlo, es su cuerpo y todo el mundo debería tener al derecha a hacer lo que desea con su propio cuerpo si no hace malo a otros. Esto dicho, prefiero ver tatuajes que son bien hechos.

Para mi, no trata de una cuestión de la cultura sino de la estética. No me gusta esos que son feos o que expresan el odio.

I don't have any but believe that if a woman (or a man) wants one, then it's his/her body and everyone should have the right to do what they wish with their own body if it doesn't harm others. That said, I prefer seeing tattoos that are well rendered.

For me it's not a question of culture, bur rather of aesthetics. I don't like ugly ones or ones that express hate.

I had some errors in my post that Daniella kindly pointed out, so I would like to post a corrected version.

pero, conozco a muchas personas que tienen un montón de tatuajes en su cuerpo.

I have to confess that my thought on this is not original. I was influenced by something I saw.

I was thinking about getting one, one of the cute ones on the back, but one day, on the internet, on a site that I watch often. There was this super fantástica gorgeous blonde beauty with a "to die for" face and figure, "I should look so good" I thought.

The picture, the girl and the surroundings--which looked like a tattoo parlor was obviously an advertisement designed to dissuade one -especially women from getting tattoos.

The caption was "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?" There was one of those in the picture. And I thought. Hey! I think I am one supercharged "rearing to go" Ferrari myself. No sir. I will not spoil the gift that God gave me.

Now this is my opinion. It is not more nor less valid than anybody else's. The culture I live in in the Estados Unidos does not only allow, but encourages women to get these things. I would encourage women to stay away from tattoos if at all possible.

Yo no tengo uno, y nunca tendría uno. Mi esposa suele tener uno de alheña (que no es permanente) en la mano o cerca del tobillo durante el verano. Una de mis hijas no tiene uno, y creo que nunca tendrá uno. La menor de las hijas tiene dos, uno en la ingle (esencialmente siempre cubierto) y uno en la parte posterior del hombro. La verdad es que no sé si he visto una vez el primero, y el otro es también normalmente cubierto y la verdad es que no recuerdo de lo que es. Mi hijo tiene uno en el centro de la espalda, arriba, de una cruz con el nombre de su primo, quien se murió cuando tenía 18 años. A veces se puede ver una parte del tatuaje cuando lleva una camiseta de tirantes. Antes de que me casara, tuve una novia con una mariposa pequeña en el hombro izquierdo.

No me gustan los tatuajes que no son sutiles (como cuando se tatúa el cuello entero hasta la mandíbula), pero solo es mi opinión y mi gusto. Creo que la gente debería poder escoger lo que quisiera sin interferencia de otros, debido a que no afecta mucho a otras personas. Pero alguien que quiere uno debería recordar que es una decisión permanente. Yo sé cómo parecen los tatuajes en alguien que tenía ochenta años.
