What do you guy think of leg tattoos?

What's up, Doc? What's up, you guy.

The only thing I've been able to think about all day long is how much I can't stand leg tattoos. It got really bad when I was doing my usual thing I do all day besides post on GAF--sitting on my porch and watching all the bodacious babes going in and out of New Seasons grocery store parking lot. I saw a bodacious metal babe wearing a sweet Guns N' Roses cutoff, but then disaster struck as my eyes gently and lovingly wandered down the rest of her body. LEG TATTOO. Leg tattoo on the side of the calf. HOOOOLLLYYYYY SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT.

My face and arms became flush and I started to sweat. Anxiety started to set in, followed by a very, very mild panic attack. "Nononononono" I said, "Please you, hot woman...you not having a leg tattoo...", but my whispers faded into silence, and there was nothing I could do to turn back the hands of time. She had a leg tattoo and I couldn't change that. I loved her, but I loved her enough to know when it was time to let her go. C'est la vie.

That's when we parted ways. She went into the store, and I continued to creepily ogle women while drinking a 40oz and eating leftover pizza that some girl from the pizza shop down the road gave us for free.

Leg tattoos, Doctor. Guys or girls, doesn't matter. Looks awful. What does GAF/Google image search think?
 
As much as I love tatts and the culture, I hate leg tattoos. Not sure why but they are up there with neck tatts, and obvious tramp stamps.

Here's a hint about tattoos, GAF:

IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF PEOPLE SEEING YOUR TATTOO (work, parents, etc) DON'T GET A FUCKING TATTOO.

^ oh my.

Leg tattoos are the worst (specially on guys), I laugh at people that get calf wrapped tats lol...


For women on the ankles is fine.

As a fan of tats, after digging up some leg tats most of what I've seen isn't good, I think if anything it's best kept minimal for legs, maybe something on the ankle or the rear. But something like this:

Sucks.

I kind of am Malibu from American Gladiators, if Malibu was Targaryan.

Do I need to post that pic of me again? I really, really want to post that pic of me again.

If you read the OP in Cartman's voice, it's highly entertaining.

As for leg tattoos. I plan on getting a Skottie Young Spiderman on the back of my calf that's going to be about 8 or 9 inches.

All those tattoos suxxx except the girl on the bottom. And I might only like hers cause she's hot(minus the leg abomination).

I mean, they're cool to look at in pictures, but not cool for having on your body in real life.

You seem down on tats in general. :(

There's an exception to every rule.

Sleeves give me a fucking boner. I fucked a girl one time mostly just because she had sleeves. I just don't like the ones you posted. On the 3rd one the back tat is sweet, the arm one looks weird though. Maybe I'd have to see the whole thing.

If you can't improve on something, don't.

Most of the great works of art in history are based on the human female form. Did any of them cover it up with art that would look tacky on a 1970s era van?

I disagree, that's hot.

I take it you turn off porn before the money shot, then?

Depends on how good that tattoo is...

If you're not gunna spend good money on a good artist, don't bother getting one.
 
A few of my friends have leg tats; they are pretty common in Polynesian tattooing. I think they look good, although all of them are personally meaningful to them and are traditional designs or plays on tradition. One friend has a really intricate and beautiful design that symbolizes the origin story of the demigod he's named after. You wouldn't know unless he explained it though, but it looks nice.

Here's a somewhat typical Hawaiian leg tat:

My friend's one has similar shapes that mirror the contour of the calf, although his is completely different otherwise.

Tattoos right on the front of a leg are just very displeasing to the eye. Tattoos on girls legs always just make me think they have weird birthmarks.
 
The backs of my legs are tattooed, and they generally get a positive response. They're pretty detailed and original, so I guess that goes in my favor, haha.
