Is it normal to have a bad impression of men with a lot of tattoos?

When I see a men with a lot of tattoos I instantly think bad things about him. I can't trust him and I'm afraid that he might do something harmful to me.

Is it normal or I'm just overreacting?

    A lot of people who are covered in tattoos (notice I said a lot of people, and not ALL people) are usually trash, or criminals. That is just a fact. If you go down to police booking I guarantee most white inmates are covered in tattoos.

    Pretty dumb that so many criminals get tattoos, they're always more suspicious for that fact alone, whether they're innocent or not.

    But no, it's not abnormal to dislike men with a lot of tattoos. That's just not your preference. No one is perfect and loves all people,there are certain people that rub certain people the wrong way. This cannot be avoided in life.

      There are a lot of blokes with tattoos under their respectable business suits

    Saying all guys with tattoos are bad people is like saying all girls are bitches and all guys are assholes. It may be a majority of the people you see, but there are PLENTY of good people who simply have their life story in art form on their bodies.

    I think a more accurate statement is bad people are more likely to get tattoos. But that doesn't mean that tattoo'd people are automatically bad.

    When you see a Muslim are you afraid that he's going to blow you up? Are you afraid a black guy walking by is going to rob you? Because your judgmental statement is no different than those.

      Good response! Sometimes I have to take a break from this site because of the amount of judgmentalism

    • Where I live there aren't many Muslims, so I have no opinion about them. As for black guys I don't think that when I see them.

        I wasn't saying that you do. I am saying that judging someone based on the colors on their skin is no different than judging people by the color of their skin.

    You forgot to mention that guys with too many tattoos look like dirt bags. ;)

    Makes total sense. I believe this is normal.

    A fair assumption indeed.

    No I think this is a fair statement, I have also assumed the same due to my encounters of guys that have tattoos. I think that most guys with tattoos have problems/issues..

    It's normal to feel worried about something like that (although a little prejudiced), sounds like it's becoming more of a phobia with you though, which is something I would work on keeping in check.

    I grew up around guys with a lot of tattoos and some people were very judgemental. Although it's understandable, I personally wouldn't say it's nornal. What about women with tattoos?

        I'm just curious, why only men and not women too? There's some women with tattoos that you can't trust and could be harmful.

        • I know. It's because men seem more aggressive and dangerous.

    That's prejudice, and I honestly don't feel that, but quite the other way around (from experience). I do believe they look like shit, but through my life I've found that people who look like shit are much more trustworthy that people who look all nit. It's also common sense. If someone looks all presentable then you know he's willingly making an effort to give a certain image... Say the douche bag who works at the bank, all shaved and with his hair just washed and combed, and with his spotless suit and everything, giving you a contract with small print in it (which you grow up to learn is not just a joke in cartoons, but something that inexplicably happens in real life).

    On the other hand, I find tattoos extremely ugly. The more, the worse. And even worse in women.

      Why worse on women? Some tattoos are ugly and some are beautiful: I'm a woman with four tattoos and I've have more if I could afford it

    I think that because I've watched too many horror movies with car headlights going on in the dark just before something bad happens, I now fear driving at night and having someone driving behind me for a couple of metres, I get crazy ideas of them following me and eventually murdering me.
    SO my point is you probably hate men in tattoos due to the stereotypical association.

        Never heard of him. Had to google it. Meh...the colorfullness of that one on his neck is atrocious. I'm all for neck tattoos but that one looks totally stupid.

          I know, I like tattoos, but they at least have to be pleasant to look at

    This is just another form of racism. I have tattoos, I have never been to jail, I am not a bad person out to harm anyone. I know a lot of guys with tattoos who are just like me.

    • I respect your opinion. But this has nothing to do with racism. Racism is a very different thing. I just don't like men with tattoos.
