Do you think tattoos make people more intimidating looking?

I'm thinking of getting both arms and neck done, but I was chatting to a friend of mine, I'm 6'2 and weigh 18 stone (no fat, not ripped either, just a big guy) anyway, he told me, in a joking way, that no one would approach us if I added tattoos to that. What are your thoughts?

I think it depends on the view of the individual. Someome might look and feel intimidated by only a few, I'd look and think 'nice' unless you had sleeve and face tatoos and think ugly. I think if anything is taken to execess it just looks a bit ugly

@SophieC: I would have 2 sleeves and a full neck tattoo lol. So you'd hate it

@Fernie: Yes it is relative, I'm a fan of tattoos and piercings but I just think sometimes for me, too much just looks bad. But my too much is someone elses not enough

@UTD99: I would, but someone else would love it, and as long as you do, what I think or anyone else doesn't matter.

there might be a few birdbrains out there who'd be intimidated but not too many. Employers are still freaked by them though...esp on a big guy.. So stupid.

@Fernie: Ah, I work in the pharmaceutical industry, and the lads I work with are covered in them (the place I work in, is grand with tattoos surprisingly.) And I've been bouncing on clubs at the weekends for 3 years now, every bouncer has a tattoo. So as a big guy, adding those tattoos would make me a terrifying bouncer lol.

@UTD99: I'm very happy that you work in such a progressive place! Yeah...you would be a terrifying bouncer! HA!

@Fernie: look, I'm just about to go 22, everyone my age has tattoos, employers have to move with the tattoos craze otherwise they won't be able to hire anyone in 10/20 years. Just coz you're covered in tattoos doesn't mean you're bad at your job or representing the company.
Yeah, I already get told I'm scary by people standing in the line lol

Not always. Maybe sometimes. It depends on both the person and the tattoo.
UTD99 · 26-30, M
@Crazychick: that I do agree with. I'm actually a very nice person lol. However I do bounce on the weekends and I've been a boxer since I was 7. Plus the people I hang around with are "rockers" and they're scary as fuck looking, but amazing people. The tattoo I want to get, just not 100% sure on what way I want it designed. But the whole thing will be black, I know that much.

@UTD99: Just goes to show, we can't always judge people by appearances. :)
UTD99 · 26-30, M
@Crazychick: Nah you definitely can't.

[c=#7700B2]yes I'm super intimidating [/c]
Not exactly.. situational, some people just look the same, and some look like they might beat the shit out of you lol. either way, you'll still look pretty bad ass :P
UTD99 · 26-30, M
@DancingStarGoddess: Ah I'd look bad ass as fuck:P
@UTD99: absolutely, i've been waiting to get 3/4 sleeves, and haven't done it yet, i've only got 3 tats, i personally would not look like i could kick anyone's ass, but you might lol. i'd just look like a chick covered in tats

Sometimes. I just think about how silly they will look when the person is in the wheelchair in their nursing home all tatted up. Can't stand tats.
UTD99 · 26-30, M
@ddt333: if I lived thinking "how will this reflect on Me when I'm 80." I wouldn't live at all mate.
ddt333 · 56-60, M
@UTD99: Its just that I think that tats look silly on elderly people. Tasteless almost.

Middle aged housewives have tattoos now, I don't find them to be bad assed anymore.
UTD99 · 26-30, M
@JimboSaturn: yeah but the premise of the question is really about someone my size
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
I don't think it would make you more intimidating; but that's just me. @UTD99:
nah even lil girls get tatoos its not even scary

If you are worried about those things you shouldn't get tattoos.

@UTD99: Neither does wanting tattoos but worrying about it looking intimidating.
UTD99 · 26-30, M
@AnnoyingAf: no you see, I want tattoos, but as someone as big as I am, when you get told "damn mate, before I started speaking to you, I thought you were scary as fuck." When you hear that quite a bit, it makes you think how you come across to people. Simple as that.

@UTD99: You're too worried -> Don't get tattoos. Simple as that.

UTD99 · 26-30, M
@betweenfatandfit: they definitely wouldn't be gang tattoos lol
