Is it rude to ask about someones tattoos?

Website content

No. If he isn’t a ****** he will tell you

Caffeinated Content

I doubt it is. If someone gets a tattoo that is noticeable, he or she should expect to have some questions asked.

No it is not rude. People get tatoos becuase they want to show them. Many people get tatoos of specific things becuase it has meaning and they enjoy talking about it. I am not sure what planet your friend is from.

I don’t think it’s be rude if its such a noticeable tattoo….. usually they have meaning to the person, but most wouldn’t get mad if you asked about them. Maybe there is a cool story about it…..

I have 4 tattoo’s and I like people asking me about them. People who have sleeves wants them to be seen. Go ahead and ask, interest in them will excite him, not in that way.

no, u’ll just get him explaining alot..ur friends probably anxious about everything and scared of saying those things..or maybe she thinks asking that is abit ‘forward’

It depends on the person and what the tattoo means. One of my bosses had a tattoo of somebodys name, so i asked who they was and they replied with “he WAS my brother.” The persons brother had committed ******* about 3 months before. So that was kinda awkward. But with a simple arm tattoo it shouldn’t cause any harm in asking about it.

I honestly don’t think so.
I have tattoos and when people ask me I enjoy telling them about them.
I know tons of people with them, and I have never heard of anyone complaining about be asked. They find it a great conversation starter.

No it is not. Nearly everyone I know has them. They are flattered to have them admired or to be asked about them.

Caffeinated Content

No its not rude to ask, but its better if you kno the person a bit b4 you ask.

Generally speaking, getting a tattoo is an important decision and has a lot of significance to the person. An enormous amount of pride and thought has contributed to the tattoo, therefore the guy with the sleeve is probably really proud of his tattoo. Its not considered rude to ask about them, and if he is offended by your curiousity, he probably got the tattoo for the wrong reason’s anyways. I have a tattoo and while it has a HUGE amount of signifcance to me, I do enjoy asking about it because I made a decision to share a bit about myself with the world by getting it and I like when people take interest in what I have to “say.”

Hope this helps! :]

No, not at all. People with visible tattoos expect them to be mentioned. I think that’s a good conversation starter as long as it isn’t lame, like “your tattoo is like totally awesome, did it hurt?”

NO DAISY you should just ask already and stop being such a WUSS!!!!!!!!!! you need to just do it already gosh

No its not. I would comment on the looks if you think it looks cool tell him that also could ask if he got it for any special reason. allot of the time people get them done to remember someone or something. We like the attention.

I dont think its rude at all. I think many people with tatts love to talk about them. There may be instances where the person with the tatt has a very personal feeling about his or her tatt, but I am sure that they will soon let you know, if that is the case. Then you will know to back off a little. But most of the time you will find tattooed people will be very willing to explain their tatoos to you.

I have a sneaky suspicion that you may be interested in the guy via his tatts. So its a good ice breaking move isnt it?

Go for it. Good Luck To You

I don’t really like it when people ask about mine. I feel like its personal. I once had a waitress ask me when i was out with a friend eating dinner. Its kinda like..im eating dinner here dude.
I think i am unusual in that respect though. I just feel why would i want to explain something personal to me to complete strangers. I got my tattoos for me not for anyone else.
Having said that. I think he will be nice if you ask. I am always nice and polite if somewhat vague. If you sense the vague have a back up conversation switcher otherwise let him talk. He is a tosser and lets face it kind of an idiot if he blows off a sweet 17 year old girl wanting to talk about his tattoo. So go for it.

Most people are proud of their body art and love to talk about them. Some people don’t and they will let you know.
All you have to do is ask.

I reckon if you know this guy well enough it’s no problem. and even if you’re not friends most people really wouldn’t mind, i’m sure

I don’t think it’s rude at all. I have tattoos and it doesn’t bother me one bit when people ask about mine or where I got them. I get compliments on them all the time. People with tats shouldn’t take offense if someone asks because they should realize people might. A tattoo is a big conversation piece!

I don’t feel that it’s rude at all. I’ve never minded when someone asked about mine, and I ask people all the time if I notice a tattoo that’s interesting to me. I think the mindset that it’s “rude” to ask is from a time when more people were biased about tattoos and would ask out of nosiness or “trying to understand how someone could do that to their bodies,” but there’s not nearly as much of that old mindset around anymore, I find. Most of the people I have asked have been pleased that I noticed and glad to explain.

One guy who I shared a class with in college had a Christian fish tattoo, and he said that he got it because he really felt like he was called to be a witness, but was often too shy to strike up conversations with strangers – but the tattoo encouraged others to come to him to talk. So in a way, his tattoo was really just to inspire others to question him about it.
