    Yes, some art on walls is purposeful. Examples are a school mascot on a school wall or highlights of the history of a city on a city wall.

    However, tattoos can be compared to graffiti on a building in which an architect designed to be a certain color. Men find tattoos on women attractive only if they’re small and in hidden places. This means that men prefer watching plain skin on women.

      That comparison would require human skin to be the work of some designer, rather than a product of the genetic lottery. There is no intent behind skin colour, no particular way it’s supposed to look.

      Men find tattoos on women attractive only if they’re small and in hidden places. This means that men prefer watching plain skin on women.

      This is what I mean with “too subjective”:

      My wife has a tatted arm and I’m egging her on to add more to it because I love them. I know for a fact that I’m by far not the only man to think so. Several communities I’m in each have a discord channel dedicated to sharing your tattoos, because we love them. Tattoos are pretty widespread in the Goth scene too and are becoming increasingly mainstream. I’ve not heard any of my peers complaining about them.

      So unless you wanna go Texas Sharpshooting and start defining which men you’re talking about based on what you want to say about them, that statement is just plain bullshit. The only group of men I can think of that categorically don’t like tattoos are men that don’t like tattoos, and that’s as useless a description as it gets.
