I posted the same question yesterday but I didn't include enough detail to get the answers I was looking for.

Basically, I'm doing a report for my philosophy class. My proff told us to create a thesis and then support it. I choose to do mine on the philosophy of attraction and how "bad boys" are better at getting girls. Tattoos are only a small part of the report but I figured it was fitting because they are a stereotypical trademark for people who play in bands, ride motor bikes, and bad *sses in general, which has been proven time and time again to be better at attracting women. I feel that if you're smart about getting tattoos they can be a sign wealth, confidence, and passion, which are, again, things women seem to find attractive.

Please and answer this question and feel free to speculate on what I've said.
Attach photos if you feel it will help get your point across.

i do find it attractive but i wouldn't like someone just based on there tattoos

It depends on the tattoo. I like well done, artistic tattoos. It shows that they are tough and brave, I guess. It shows they are decisive and passionate as well.

I think tattoos are very attractive, however not because they are known as 'bad boys', but because it shows their artistic side. Very cool project you chose by the way. :D Hope I helped! :]

NO! but I guess it depends on the girl. NOT ME!

I dont like em at all it makes you look trashy and its such a turn off like a deal-breaker to me. Not bad boys but like trying to look tough. Tats are just trying too hard. Plus, they dont represent anything, even if you make it mean something its not a good way to represent anything.

Depends on the tattoo. No, I don't find gang symbols and logos attractive. Yes, I find artistic, meaningful ones attractive. It really all depends on who the person is, and what their tattoos look like.

I'll date a guy who has tattoos but also guys who don't. I have been with both. I do like tattoos but not if they are just there because they wanted a tattoo. I like well thought out ones that are pretty well done. I have tattoos myself. I don't really like the thought of "bad boys", but I do agree that many women like that. I like guys who are spontaneous, adventurous, and like to have a good time. Sometimes those guys who fit that criteria can be considered "bad boys", but not always. Good luck on your project!

Attraction is such a tricky thing to consider cause everyone has their own little quirks. When it comes to tattoo's i think people always know there is a story or a fixation that tattooed person has. There is a reason why someone wanted a permanent attachment on their body for the world to know and see depending on what body part they added it on. Or some people just want to look cool and over do it by adding a tat for the approval of their peers most times you can tell the difference between that.
However, most people agree the only time they feel attracted to someone with a tattoo is whom that person is. Laws of attraction usually go by "Hey that person looks happy, i like being happy, i want to be happy, i could be happy with that person, i could obtain happiness form this person." or "People really like that person, he/she gets a lot of support and admiration, i want that, I want to have something everyone else wants." or "I want something that i've been told no, don't, it dangerous and get away with it" or "That person's sexy, its on." and so on and so forth.
When it comes down to it though, being attracting has actually nothing to do with the person everyone thinks is attractive but how the people build this person up to be.
Tattoo's could just be another support for the "attractive person." to build up that charisma people feed off on, which does play in with the Stereo type in which you were talking about however, to be flat out here, if your unhealthy (your over weight or sickly or people avoid you any interaction with you.) your just a wried guy with a tat.
**By sickly i mean very pale/translucent skin, yellow or few teeth, skin conditions (rashes, acne, scabs.) thinning hair- hair falling out (going bald), ageing etc etc
**When people avoid you, it gives off a signal that their is something wrong with you and you become more critiqued in your actions
