Just got my first tattoo. It's so low on my hip that even a bathing suit covers it. I purposely wanted it to be hidden because it has a very personal meaning. I know I shouldn't care, but now I'm kinda worried about how any guys I date in the future will react when they first see it. Trashy? Sexy? What would you think?

How good is it and how well does it represent it's meaning to you? Those are the only two questions you should consider about a small and easily concealed tattoo. All else is irrelevant.

Now most guys, when they first see it (from your description of it's placement) are going to have other things on their mind. They are going to ask about it though. Not straight away, but eventually. If you tell them the meaning or not is up to you.

Having a couple of very personal tattoos of my own, I'd think absolutely nothing of it.

As a girl with a visible tattoo (on my inner forearm) with very personal meaning to me, and also single, I have also thought about this. Then I realized that my body is my own and any guy who might fall in love with me will love all of me. If he has a problem with my tattoo then he isn't the right guy. Stop worrying about what other people might think if you love your tattoo.

I really agree with the above comment. If a guy turns you down or judges you because of a tattoo, or a piercing, or he likes blondes more than brunettes, well he is missing out by having such narrow requirements (just my opinion).

I guess that once upon a time tattoos held some kind of stigma, but nowadays they're pretty common among all levels of society. I personally think that good art is hot, no matter how large or small the piece of ink is.
Seriously though, any guy who's going to make negative assumptions of you because you've got a little bit of ink is just not worth your time in the first place.

As long as it's not the name of an ex, no need to worry about it.

Unless it's a tattoo of a penis, I doubt any guy would think and small, generally hidden tattoo is trashy in any way. Once they know it has a deeper meaning(if you choose to tell them), trashiness would be the last thing they'd call it.

OMG Seriously?

You got a tattoo because it was important to you. Any guy that judges you based on one (or in my case, 22) tattoos isn't worth the time you're giving him. It's part of who you are now. The right guy will accept you for who you are, tattoos and all. Why would you even consider being with a person who had a problem with tattoos? That's just silly.

Agree with all of the above. Unless it's blazing your ex's name in large letters, it shouldn't matter much if he's interested in you.

I know some guys who think tattoos are trashy, and some who think they are really hot. My boyfriend loves them, and I have none, but he's still with me and loves me. Tattoos are for you only, if you're getting them for any other reason, you shouldn't be getting them.
