I saw the a picture on social media with the following caption:
My young sistas, What most men WON’T tell you is tattoos on a woman diminishes her entire look. ‘It’s like defacing a Picasso.’ You become a target for easy sex. #thingsyourmamashouldhavet

#restoringblackwomanfemininity
You know what I do not understand with men? There constant need to judge a woman with the single conclusion that something makes her ‘a target for easy sex’. The thing about an opinion like that, is that it is less about the woman more about the guy’s simplistic perception.
Do not get it twisted women know when they are sexy, they know what makes them feel that way and what doesn’t. However a man having the idea that a woman is a target for easy sex based on some ink simply means that the man is objectifying the woman in that way.
Does that mean that a woman shouldn’t have art, of course not because unfortunately tattoos are not the only thing people use to objectify women.
What she wears could come into question or how big her butt is, or her skin tone or the way she behaves around the opposite sex. There are many things that can be said about a woman by any man based on there thoughts about sex and how they personally view the opposite sex.
On the other hand I have my own personal views of tattoos, specifically sleeves. While I love seeing great work they are not for me. I am way too flaky and so it is safer for me to not have any at all.
If you go into your closet and find your favorite pair of leggings, would you decide to wear that pair for the rest of your life? This is essentially how I view a tattoo sleeve of any sort. In that sense it would diminish my look because I would not be able to turn it off when I want to. But that’s me!

We recognize that there are perceptions that are often placed on us based on how we look. That is just the way this world is built. For example if you decide to get inked from head to toe, new studies say that it is unlikely that you will get a job in certain industries. #fact
If you are inked in certain places on your body with the idea that the placement and the ink is sexy do not be surprised if you are not the only one that thinks so.
Being sexy however does not mean you are easy or a tramp but you might just have to deal with those notions at times which can be very frustrating if that isn’t the type of attention you want.
Comment below, do you think a woman who is tatted up diminishes her look and becomes a target for sex?
Yes, I think so
Hmmmm
Yes, …. But to each its own
My Grandfathers told us that. In their time I suppose only “certain”,women were tattooed.
Only if the tattoos are ratchet and random tats all over the place.. The girl in pic looks good
I say to each his/her own. I am a nurse and I have 8 tattoos. Yes, I’m employed. I was very mindful of the placement of them due to my profession. They can be easily covered with my clothing and no one would ever know I have them unless I told you. My tattoos do not define who I am as a woman nor do they diminish my beauty.
RN/BSN or cna/lpn?I dont call the latter nursing it can diminish job opportunity and advancement both men and women
Wow… Smh.^^^
Tk I’m an LPN working toward my BSN. I have never in my 8 years of being a nurse had problems with advancement in my career because of my tattoos. Yes, some employers have a policy that states you have to cover them up. Besides what do my credentials have to do with the topic at hand?
Tk keeps commenting on peoples post talking about tattoos aren’t classy but she has her monroe pierced and ass shots and her chest hanging out all over fb… Hmmm.
My employers have never seen my tattoos, unless they know me personally
Get over it. My doctor has a full sleeve….
Right? I see cops covered in tats. Tk u need to focus on keeping ur ass and titties off fb. U dont have room to judge anyone sweetheart.
Yes I think so. Not totally but to me too many takes away…just my opinion.
I bet some the votes for tattoos would change if they saw how they look on a 70 year old body.
Some males and females find tats sexy ….while some may not. I love tats!
I think its not pretty on any person…….
I wouldn’t say she’s diminished as a women. But she might have a problem in the professional world.
On your leg*
Not a bad thing but Just a big distraction. I have them but I restrict them to places that can’t b seen in most clothing.
I only have 1 and I would have it removed. It does diminish beauty of a woman. I don’t think it matters to certain women though just because their life doesn’t call for them to be classy women.
Says the lady who has a tattoo… Do you see yourself as not classy?
On SOME it is hard to see as classy. Especially if you tat BITCH across your chest
No it’s a form of art.
Well to each is on some look sexy with them I just don’t like the face and neck ones but if you like it I like it and ask for me I love my history and I looked into my history and my ancestors from the Ashanti tribe and with that being said tattoos and some piercings are they thing so I love them…. But now I have this thing will text you should have a meaning
Saw a woman just yesterday with tattoos like this
She was about 45 years old didn’t look so good
Just saying. y’all don’t put me under the bus lol
Yeap
Yes, especially very large visible ones
Sure, why not.
For arguments sake *looks at tattoos*
No, the answer is No! (.)
No
I am heavily tatted. .Everything aint for everybody…Sexy is in the eye of the of the beholder..For some it may diminish …..For others it enhances the Sexxxy…To each his Own….I am beautifully tatted and scarred….It’s my pain. .my story. .my body…MINE
Anyone not just a woman
Yeses!!!!
Yep
No..I love tattoos, I been wishing to have one on my foot…I love her tattoo!
I personaly find this onatreactive and Onfemine!!! This is my personal openion and hope its respected!!! Everyone has his or her own openion!!
Yes.
Absolutely.
I personally have 12 tattoos. My body is my soul’s house and I choose to decorate it with ink. I have been working my same state job for 25 years. I think it is basically a matter of opinion. Either you like tats or you dont.
No not at all. I don’t personally have any tattoos. But just because a woman has a lot of tattoos does not diminish her beauty.
Yes if its too much
Kinda’
Yes especially if done untastefully I have tattoos but no one would ever know unless I told them I think its tasteless for MEN AND WOMEN to turn themselves into graffiti walls
To each and its own, tattoos aren’t my thing. I judge no one, I can speak solely for myself.
No! Both me and my man have tattoos!! And plan on getting more. We have been married since 2008! And we have many many more years ahead of us
Certain dresses may not go with the tattoos.
To much tattoo is tacky
Beauty isn’t always physical
No
None of my business!
I don’t judge I’ll just say I personally wouldn’t get any and leave it at that.
I have a half sleeve and it hasn’t held me back at all! It tells a story and has meaning. I can cover it when I need to and it didn’t stop me from finding a husband either.
Everyone has different taste. Some people are attracted to that. I believe in good taste. Not face, chest, or neck. Especially on women. But really some people are just beautiful no.matter how many tattoos. They have.. I just turned 41. Few days ago.. I got my second tattoo couple weeks ago.. both on feet and they mean a lot to me.. I don’t think I would continue any further.
do you.
Yes it favors a skin desease
I believe as with our hair…. We change it (sometimes within a week). If your change your mind with the hair it will change with a tattoo.
Diminished? Not sure. Men and women (some) over do the tattoo thing. As with hair if you want it to look “fly” you must keep up the maintenance…. We all know how that goes.
it‘s looks disguisting to me,dou might be attractive in some people.
