Tattoos on men are a completely different beast than tattoos on women, and this is a PERFECT example of why 👆

I still advise against them for everyone for health reasons (see thread at bottom of post) but I digress...

Body graffiti signifies life experience. It's a subtle way of telling the world, "I've been through some shit."

When viewing this through the masculine/feminine lens, being hardened by life aligns with masculine energy. Men GAIN value when they've conquered trials and tribulations, and persevered through fire.

Femininity's value, on the flipside, comes from softness, i.e. NOT being hardened by a rough life. In other words, INNOCENCE.

I'm sorry if this sounds brutal, but it's just the way it is. Men prefer soft, innocent women, while women prefer hardened, experienced men.

Thus, while I believe tattoos are a net-negative for everyone, they are significantly worse for women, as not only do they negatively affect your health, but they also signal to men that your femininity has been degraded.

Here's that thread I mentioned about tattoos wrecking your health. Highly recommend reading it, especially if you or someone you know is on the fence about getting a tattoo 👇
