Ive been trying this online dating thing for about a year now and have been completely unsuccessful! I think that it is my tattoos....you see Im looking for a serious relationship, fun is fun..but getting played out I need a second half of stability. So now if I dont post a pic, alot of women wont pay my profile any attention..so I must have pics..now before when I had pics with all my tattoos covered up I would meet really nice women, but as soon as they saw my tattoos they would be scared away thinking that I am some trouble maker, which is stereotype...and when I do have my tattoos howing the nice women that I am interested in just pass on bye stereotyping me most of the time and all I get are these crazy psycho women who want to stalk me and cut off parts of my body If I dont pay them any attention...Am I just out a luck..or does anybody have any personal experience or advice that they can offer me?
Respectfully,
Jerome

Jerome your right,its just stero-typical of folks to judge a book by its cover.
I personally don't think you need to cover them up,they are after all apart of who you are,if someone can't take the time to get to know you,then that is not the person for you,there loss if your a good guy.
Sure,there is a time that they need to be covered up,lets say when going to a certain event,but on the hole,don't bother.

Isn't it just damn funny that this has come up before. Everybody, including myself, has dating issues arise over ink and piercings, but postings are always of the contrary. Why? lol

Sincerely,
Sick of covering em
lmao

What?
You want a woman to love you for you and not your tattoos, but you would choose your tattoos over a woman?
Okay, please explain this? lol

And, Hawk, good statement, hon:)

Jakie is right, we could go into prejudices over anything...

I would say show them. If a woman can't look beyond the tats, then she's not worth it. same goes for a man.

Tat2mania, I too have ink very visible and halfway understand you. Only halfway because thats not even a question with me. If a person has tatoos and if they hide them...they are hiding who they are. You dont want somebody to fall in love with somebody wearing a mask. That will be bad for you and them. If its a part of you...show and tell as long as youre not ALL about you and....."oh my tatoo...does it look good?....Is it fading?...." and so on. Thats who you are Tat2mania...

I personally love tatts. I have 3, working on my 4th. They are in places you won't see unless I'm in a bathing suit, and they are very nice.

I think people has to except you for who you are. I have one tatt and plan on several more. along with peircings. If someone is too shallow to see past that then it's probably better they don't want to talk to me.

so how does one get past peoples judgements and stereotypes?

fool em! for awhile let them get to know you without the decor and when they come out of their ignorance and realize how nice you are ( if u are ) then the tatts won't matter ... otherwise well

ignorance is the cause of all suffering so we have to find ways to dissolve these ideas people have by showing them something different than their beliefs....

i get a lot of discrimination if i show up before my CV.
so i send it along a week ahead of me and ironically enough they still expect to meet a man too unconscious to see the 'a' in alexandra...go figure, but at least when i surprise them they are prepared for a formidable force....

as for tatts i dont have any but my piercings always stop em cold!
muaaaahahahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaa

(u'll have to refer to very old posts to find this one!)

LMAO!!!!!

noooo but i am really considering it!
ya know it is crazy what happens to people when i put on a white coat!!
my god i could be anyone but it signifies ER and all of a sudden i have all their authority...sooo i gave up the white coat years ago and i refuse to wear it now, but uniforms in general, will do it
tatts , size, even how u wear your hair... i shaved my head because of the lice and even my colleagues treated me suspiciously.....

people are often afraid of originality they want whats tried and proven ,no risks no problems no unexpected surprises heh heh...funny how that rule has never proven to work either...

one of the SCARIEST things that is said as an expression in holland is ..."normal is crazy enough . be normal"

somehow we just have to find our own ways to break these stereotypes... have fun!!!
it can be done!
