men and women by-in-large all regret tattoos later in life; it's consistent across genders

what's different is that men care more about aesthetics in women than vice versa, as well as what those aesthetics represent

some feminine women actually like tatted guys as it can give that "bad boy" vibe (i still don't recommend it for the reasons outlined in my blog post, but i digress)

this occasional female openness toward tatted men is not reciprocated by men seeking women, however. masculine men like their women innocent, natural, and feminine, the opposite of what tattoos project.
