Tattoo-less men a bigger turn-off as time goes on?

[viewing ownly]

It seems more and more difficult to find men in their 20s with none, with no interest in getting them. It seems that for them, those without any are "boring", and are just another reason to be of no interest to them. They also seem to be a generation that NEVER has any cash on them, ever. That's another story. 

Those available to see for massage (or more) all have some level of edge to them, being in that realm. I don't think by any means that people with tattoos are collective "bad boys". Read that sentence again, as I mean it. However, it shouldn't be assumed that all of those who are tattoo-free under 30 go to religious services dutifully, and live a pure, wholesome life. There are PLENTY of tattoo-less guys over 30 who are available. Perhaps this is a feature that rent men should consider, since that is something many clients would appreciate to know.

All other things being equal between two guys, I will choose the tattoo-less one every time.   I’ve seen so many strippers destroy their looks with the addition of endless tattoos. I won’t name names, but some of them still work at Montreal strip clubs. 
 

I predict the tattooing trend of the last 15-20 years will eventually reverse itself.  What will all the tattoo artists do then?

[TonyDown]

Tattoos on the face is a growing trend.   

So unattractive to me.

I will never get a tattoo.

However I acknowledge it is a worldwide practice.   Here to stay.

It puzzles me how anyone can believe that tattoos and/or piercings somehow enhance one's appearance.

On the other side, it's a personal choice for their own bodies, which equates to...their houses, their rules.

If you want to go after the higher-end, travel based clientele, visible ink is not always a draw.

Many clients don't want their guy to pull the wrong kind of focus.  They value discretion.

That said, a lot of younger guys now have tattoos.  It is what it is.

As other posters have intelligently said here already, it's a free-market business and guys can do what they want with their skin.

During college breaks I worked in a factory. Some of the older men had tattoos from earlier says in the military. Given the usual effects of aging, weight gains & diminished muscle tone, the tattoos did not age well.

@prof very true!

Have you seen guys (or gals) in their 50's, 60's, and older with tattoos? Ugh! Talk about skin creep.
As we age, the laws of gravity and nature don't stop. The skin sags and the ink fades. What may have looked cool and sexy in your teens or 20's looks grotesque in your 50's +.

Unless there is something extra special about a tattooed escort, they are usually easy passes for Bozo. And that includes so called "attractive" tattoos:

It seems that there are many older people with tattoos who regret them.  That seems to be the case very strongly with people who get someone's face or name tattooed.  I generally prefer tattooless rather than tattoomore.  It would rarely be a deal breaker or a deal maker for me.

Piercing on the other hand are almost always a hard no with the exception of a small earring or a nipple bar.

As a former retail owner, I can't believe how many neighborhood retail stores (antiques, gift stores, clothing boutiques, shoe stores, children's stores, specialty liquor stores, jewelry stores, etc) have closed their doors over the past 10-15 years, only to be rented out to tattoo parlors now. And this is in every neighborhood - high end as well as lower end. High end restaurants are now neighboring a tattoo studio, when once they were neighbors to a high-end baby boutique or high-end gift store.

 

What was once an 'interesting' stroll down main street - window shopping, in-store browsing and impulsive buying, has now turned into a stroll of mini fitness studios and tattoo studios in my area. I guess they're the only ones who can afford the rent these days, or the landlords are no longer interested in creating an appealing retail district.

I used to hate them, now, it has to be something really outrageous and tasteless for the tattoo to be a reason not to hire. I also got one myself. I can go either way, Tat or no tat. It's not the tattoo what I'll be drilling.

Most (not all), tattoo aesthetics, never age well. 
Our personal style changes over time and those tattoos rarely follow along well with those changes. 
its “cute”, when you’re 22 years old with a mullet and tats, beat up sneakers and a cropped tee. 

Try that crap at 35, and it’s beyond tragic.

When people ask me what I think about tattoos, I always immediately suggest temporary tattoos.

Following that, I recommend considering one’s path in life, and where they plan on placing them. No one can be a porn star, rocker, or a rapper forever. And although the era of youth is fun, it’s also SHORT.

The “Grown Man”, phase of life is much longer and far more challenging, if you don’t play your cards right….  

That “boring” man in his 20s with no tats can develop into a nice crispy, sexy man in his 30s, 40s and 50s.

Tell that to Mick Jagger (80) and Keith Richards (81)😉.

Those two are definitely exceptions.

Rare exceptions.

This is true. 
but it’s best (in my opinion), to be the best version of yourself that you can be, spanning the longest period of time. 

The old tale of “the tortoise and the hare”, has a lot of wisdom, as the fast route for most things fizzles quickly.

Tattoos that get in the way of seeing muscles are a definite no for me. Especially on pecs quads and calves. Yuk

Indeed that's a true statement but so is this:

Tattoos serve to highlight the effects of aging on the skin.

I strongly advise against tattooing your face then 😉

Unless you want to look like a genderless dragon.

Not a fan of tattoos. Someone has to really stir my porridge to look sexy with excessive tattoos. Jordan Brandt of Brandt's Boys in one who remains sexy despite his awful taste in tattoos.

Those arm sleeve tattoos looked sexy once upon a time, until Joe Jock turned 30, had a couple kids, and now draws attention to the lack of muscle definition in his arms.

It’s interesting to see the number of guys billing themselves as twinks who have big and bold tattoos.   Anything but “twinkish” to me.   As I think one of the Karashians said “my body is a Bentley.  Would you put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?”

[DMICS]

Personally, it really depends. But it's pretty regular I come across a provider who I'm interested in but once I check out their private gallery the tattoos are an instant turn-off. In many cases they're either terribly designed-look bad, or in terrible areas. Especially when someone has a magnificent body and ruins it with bad tatts. 

But that's just me.

I didn't mind tattoos believe the neck within reason, but I'll try to check for any symbols that have known associations.  There was a guy in a nearby city to me a while back that had a "88" on his forearm.  Thankfully his ass disappeared pretty quickly.

[BonVivant]

Tattoos are not a deal breaker for me. I find that they can be sexy on the right guy. It’s the total package that I am looking for.

Thank you for that note.  I was unaware of the significance of "88."

You're making way too many generalizations.

Tattoos might enhance a certain part of the body but can't do nothing for someone who has a small dick, a flat ass, an ugly face, an out of shape body, is not WHP, etc.
