Men with tattoos are hot, and while body art is far more acceptable than it once was, there is still something about guys with ink that’s smokin’.
1. He’s a rebel
Despite 32 per cent of people between the ages of 30-45 having a tattoo and everyone from David Beckham to the local estate agent inking up, body art still says he’s a man who doesn’t mind standing out from the crowd – and couldn’t give a s**t what other people think.
2. He’s committed
Having a full size koi carp tattooed on your back shows a levels of commitment – and when a man who inks up properly wants something, he goes out and gets it.
Regardless of what it’s going to look like when he’s 70.
3. It’s an invitation to talk about his body
Feel his pecs, study his six pack, touch his back…
All in the name of artistic appreciation.
4. He suffers for his cause
Tattoos hurt.
Unless he was blind drunk and had ‘I love beer’ tattooed on his arse by three friends on a stag weekend in Faliraki, chances are he’s undergone a fair amount of pain to achieve his look.
Committed, brave or very drunk.
The odds are in his favour.
5. He has history
Every tattoos tells a story and, regardless of whether you like it or not, it mean something to him.
What’s hotter than a man with passion and a backstory with an illustration?
6. He lives for the moment
What if I regret it when I’m an OAP?
The question that keeps Johnny Depp awake every night. #Not.
7. He’ll never ask if you want fries with that
According to a recent study by St Andrews University, visible tattoos still carry a negative connotation amongst employers and may hurt your chances of getting hired – especially within the catering industry.
Roughly translated – hot tattooed men don’t flip burgers.
8. First dates are easy
You’ll never run out of things to talk about with a guy with tats – and discovering the story behind his tribal sleeve is more exciting than talking about unusual amounts of rainfall in spring.
9. Relationships are more romantic
Impulsive, creative, artistic, spontaneous… and more likely to serenade you in the middle of the street in front of a crowd of people than a pretty boy without ink ever is.
10. He looks hot in a T-shirt
And the chances are, he has a smokin’ body – because a guy who inks knows that good art is going to need a good canvas.
11. He won’t mind your kookiness or imperfections
Tattoos are about being individual and edgy.
He wants cool and confident over plastic doll perfect – and is not going to dump you because you chipped a nail.
12. He’s great in the sack
Ok that’s not necessarily true, but hell, at least you’ll have something to look at if he’s bad.
13. David Beckham, Robbie Williams, Jesse Metcalfe, Benji Madden, Harry Styles, Colin Farrell, Jared Leto
