I have one... and think it's a combination of location and what the tattoo is that adds some sort of sex appeal. I've not been told that mine is sexy, but most people are surprised when they find it. In most outward appearances people assume I'm rather conservative (part of why it's not often seen), but if I'm wearing something that shows my ankles undoubtedly someone spots it and remarks on the shock of it. It's not huge, but not tiny either. I picked it not necessarily because it has much meaning to me, but rather because it is something that I won't mind looking at as I grow old.

I can't tell you the countless people that have scratched at it, trying to make it peel to verify it as being temporary. I've had it for five years, and one factor in choosing the location was my single status. I didn't want it to be something that may limit my choices in bridal gowns.

I am not a fan either...but it's your body and you need to make YOU happy.

I don't find them to be necessarily a turn-on or a turn-off. The way I see it, if a lady wants one, it's her choice and as long as she's happy with it then it's fine by me.

I've never dated someone with body art though. There was one time, way back when I was in college, that my girlfriend decided to surprise me by getting a temporary one just to see my reaction. Actually, she got two of them and it was really sort of funny. She had bullseyes put on the small of her back and right between her belly button and her bush. I've gotta say, that was sort of a fun turn-on. I put in a lot of target practice that weekend.

i have one on my inner ankle. It's purposefully placed in a place that won't droop or sag (much) and can be covered when I need to look nice or professional.

As far as if they are sexy or not, they can go either way. It really depend on the tat, and the person. Skull and crossbones is never sexy, but something discreet and meaningful and suprising can be really hot.

It's your body, knock yourself out if you want it.

And just for the record, it didn't hurt at all.

LAW

I'm not so sure how I feel about the whole tattoo situation at this point. I personally haven't found anything I'd want hanging off of my when I'm 80, but there's also not been a real meaningful event in my life that I felt the need to mark on my body. I work with a lady who has 2 full sleeves, kind of a patchwork deal to mark different life events. She once classifed them as her hand-picked stretch marks. It made sense- kind of a euphemism for the marks life events sometimes leave on us. I also have a friend who has a small tribal dragon in the small of her back. She chose the dragon after a pretty traumatic event because it is 'the protector of the lady'. I like the ones with story and meaning, and as said before, kind of the same way I like jewelry-- the antiques and the ones with real meaning and history are the ones that strike my fancy.

As a inked woman, most of my partners (even the few who haven't found tattoos attractive) have told me that its not just a matter of placement, its design and quality. I have my shoulders covered, my right inner forearm, low, mid and upper back/neck and ankle.

I find that the most attractive placement of a tattoo on a woman is the low back in the shape of a "V".

I happen to be a big tattoo and piercing fan I thing the sexiest place for a tattoo is just above the panty line

I'm about to go and have the tattoo on my back covered up. I like the tattoo itself, but I don't like looking in the mirror and being reminded of an ex every single time. Yes, he picked it out. Yes, I know it was a dumb thing to do.

My advice is, of course, never get names (of lovers/spouses) and NEVER let them "pick out" your tattoo because when/if you break up, you will regret it big time.
