Actually tattoos are very sexy....... I'm more attracted to men with tattoos than I am to ones without them.  They aren't ugly.  But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  

   

 I am really getting tired of reading this!!! If you believe it so much, don't get a tattoo, or any piercings. As for me, i think they look great on a lady(both).  Very sexy!!!!!!  

You are entitled to your opinion...but what is sexy?  Some women might say Brad Pitt - I'd say Sir Anthony Hopkins or Sean Connery.  Some people like blue eyes, some brown. Some men prefer women with curves; some the supermodel types.  There are so many different opinions!  Life would be boring if we were all the same.  My fear for you is that you could easily be victimized by a person you deem as "safe" based on appearance.  The neighbor who molested me when I was a child looked normal.  So did the mom on the Dr. Phil show who was abusing her precious children horribly.  So do the majority of rapists, molesters and serial killers. In fact, those are the TRUE faces of evil. If you don't find ink and piercings sexy, it's OK - those of us who are pierced & inked may well not find your look to be so either.  Also, not all of us in the US or other countries share your religious beliefs.  If your god forbids tattooing, that is fine for you.  In many cultures it is a mark of man/womanhood and respect.  You seem very fearful and even somewhat angry and threatened. Truly, you miss out on a lot in life if you avoid ANY group of people simply because of who they are - be it other cultures, religions, ethnicities, gender preferences or yes, how they choose to decorate themselves.  My best wishes to you; I hope you will find peace of mind.  Take care.
