Does anyone agree with me that tattoos are incongruous with being nude? I mean being nude is about celebrating god’s handiwork; tattoos are about defacing it.
^^sorry dude, but i totally disagree. i am a naturist and i have tattoos and piercings. being nude, in my humble opinion, is about being comfortable with one's body. tattoos aren't about defacing a persons body, it is celebrating and decorating this canvas. you are comfortable with your body and you are expressing its beauty by adorning it.
I think there are two types of people when it comes to tatoos. 1) the type that sees tatoos as decorating your body and expressing yourself and sees tatoos are works of art almost. They think you look more beautiful by wearing tatoos. 2) the type that sees tatoos as being the same as somebody writing grafitii on a wall of a nice looking building. They think youre defacing something beautiful by doing it. There are a few other people who do it just so they can say theyve done it and dont have any particular reason for doing it but I think most fall into the two categories up there.
well I am in between the two. a couple of tat's are fine, but covering the whole body with them, in MY opinion, is not art or decoration it looks cheap.
If that's the case, then I'm definitely of the first school. I love tattoo's and I think they're beautiful (hell, I have a couple myself)
Its better if you get a few tatoos that hold some purpose for you rather than getting a whole bunch of em just to do it or just to tell people that "hey, I got a tatoo". If you just get a bunch of em just to get em then it makes the ones you do have less special.
Hey all (noobie here)...I am tattooed myself and do find them quite appealing. I guess, like anything, it depends on the quantity and quality. Placement too, I suppose...I can't stand facial or neck tattoos, but who am I to judge? Tattoos can be very beautiful and sensual on women - case and point: Kat Von D, Bif Naked, Masuimi Max, etc.
I love tattoos. It is art. In my opinion, tattoos enhance the look of the body and tell a great story about the spirit inside of the body...I would NEVER think of it as defacing the body at all...
Tattoos are a way of expressing one's self. They are not degrading in any way to the naked body but rather inhance it's natural beauty. I think tattoos are beautiful and plan to get a few more (I have three right now). Peace and love
Of corse i disargree. I have also a lot of Tattoos and i am Nudist. Let everyone be ... and if someone like to get Tattoed why not.. if there are someone who like piercing... why not.. you have to accept... you dont have to wear it too... Maybe the next is you can cut your hair what god is given to you... so i have to run around with long hair because i an Nudist ??? ...
I've been a naturist since before my first tat. Now I have 3 of them. This is my second one, a Scorpio, properly placed near the genitals. So, obviously I don't find anything wrong with decorating the bod with tats. I often go to the nude beach and tats are quite common there. I have even seen full body tats and if that is how the individual wants to present themselves as a person I'm all for it.
To revive an old thread. I wouldn't have one myself. Several people I know do who I have been in a sauna or steamroom or on the beach with when all of us have been nude. For some it looks tasteful, others not so, depending on size, amount and where on the body.
Tatts seem to be the 'in thing' amongst the 20-somethings, chiefly surfies or surfie chicks. Japanese letters, spiders, celtic patterns, Latin quotes all are common, but don't see many on naked bodies at the free beach. The most novel I've seen is a stylised Sun tattoo around a guy's navel and sea anenomes on his nipples! His occupation? A SCUBA dive instructor.
Not so at our nude beach here at Haulover Park. Ron has his whole body tattooed and piercings on scrotum & penis Some Dude with Tat Shorts Really Good Scorpio Tat And then there are my first two tats in this censored pic.
