What affect do tattoos have on SMV

personally i feel sometimes they are compensatory for a lack of something. But perhaps thats just the guys ive met with them. Trying to be manly without a core. Kinda like beards in a way. But as said they vary. Ive met many pacific islanders who have explained the process of acquirement and the trails taken to allow for said tattoos and in that regard i guess its add for sure... i dunno... its a hard one.... tattoos are so fashionable these days i cant say whether they add to your game or whether its a fashion statement purely to compensate for lack of personality. A good piece of art is a good piece of art though. Just dont go telling me your fucking life story ffs.

In my opinion, if you drive a Ferrari why would you put a bumper sticker on it?

Get ripped first, then add the ink. Sculpt before painting. Tattoos only compliment your image.

Good tattoos can improve smv and help you stand out or you get a stupid tribal half sleeve and look like a wanker

Add.

As long as they are not shitty tattoos they generally add.

build a good triceps/forearms instead.

If they're good and well placed, add for most. Detract from the minority of girls

SMV is subjective. Some girls are gonna dig them, others won't. Stereotypically, "bad girls" are probably gonna like them, "good girls" won't.

If they're done tastefully, they'll probably either add or be neutral to SMV. That said, I don't have tattoos, but when asked, I usually say that I would for the right life moment, like for my children or completing an Ironman, something like that.

TL;DR: Just don't get a face tattoo.

Depends on the girl. Duh.

They draw attention and imply confidence because they're permanent.

What you do with that attention is up to you.

You know plenty of betas who have tattoos (and probably don't lift).

A lot of girls claim to like tattoos (and the ones who don't like them don't say so), but like everything else they say, you should take with a grain of salt.

But you're your own man. If you want a tattoo, you should absolutely get one. Personally, I have better things to spend $500 on.

From my experience they've added to my smv.

I don't have any. I find people have them to be "unique" but since everyone has them, I'm more unique by not.
