How much am I missing out because I don't have tattoos? And why are tattoos attractive?

You're not missing out on anything. I have one small tattoo on a shoulder that I don't show to most people. It's not a big deal.

IMO, tattoos aren't inherently attractive. Having a sleeve might give off the impression that you're a "bad boy," but it can just as easily give the impression that you're immature/not boyfriend material/etc. I wouldn't worry about it. The guy I know who's most successful with women doesn't have any tattoos, which is all the proof I need to say it's not a big deal.

Do you even consider your own opinion towards tattoos?

If you get one, you should get one because you want int, not to pick up skanks at a club.

I have zero tattoos and I do just fine.

There's probably a small percentage of girl who would think "No tats, he's not my type" but don't even give this a second thought. It would be retarded to go get inked up in some weird attempt to appeal to a small niche audience that you probably won't even end up caring about anyway.

Do not get a tattoo simply for women.

Do not do anything unless you want to do it for yourself and no one else.

Do get one if you have always wanted one and have thought about it as a form of self expression.

Not missing out on much. I occasionally have women pull up my shirt or pull it down to see my tattoos or piercings. Only time it has done anything for my game is tonight. Dancing with a girl, notice tattoo, pulls shirt down, "you have a tattoo?!, that's such a turn on". It can be a conversation piece but I wouldnt say get a tattoo just to meet girls.

I'm still a total novice here, but I have ink, so here's my two cents. You have to pick your style and it cannot be average. Tattoos can be part of this style, or not. Some women like them and some do not, so for some it will be a pro and others a con, but for most it really won't matter at all. Before I go on, let me reemphasize what frogma said: do not get a tattoo just to meet girls. Never do it for any other reason than your own personal inner need. A shitty tattoo with no purpose or story WILL hurt your game when it comes times to explain it to an HB. However, an interesting tattoo can lead to good things. It is one way for her or you to initiate kino. It can help a conversation along if the subject of your tattoo is a common interest, or you can just talk about tattoos themselves. If your tattoo choice is very bold, you can peacock with it. I have a quarter sleeve starting at my wrist with a very lively, animated, slightly cartoonish steampunk thing going on. Nerdy/hipstery chicks love that shit. Now that I've begun the transition from AFC to PUA, I see at least three times a girl was interested and initiated contact by using my ink as an in and an excuse to grab my arm. I did nothing, failed so hard. Now I'm more knowledgeable and a bit more confident, so I'm using it to my advantage.

In answering your second question, I think there are a variety or reasons. However, tattoos are still a bit taboo and everyone appreciates good art. It CAN also show that you feel strongly about certain subjects or that you don't care what others think, ie, displays confidence. You can also look like a giant douche though, so it's not ALWAYS attractive.

TD;DR : Do what YOU want and use whatever you decide to your advantage.

I think tattoos make you look more mysterious, and it could be a conversation starter. But honestly, it's not a be all or end all, if you want a tattoo, get one.

youre not missing out on anything...most girls that have a requirement for a tattoo are usually not the type of girls that you have lasting relationships with anyway

David Deangelo recommends getting temporary tattoos. It gives women something to talk to you about.

Be yourself, be congruent. If you're not the type for tattoos (you can choose that!), don't get one. If you feel the need for a tattoo, get one. It's simple, really.

On another note, tattoos do convey a message about your personality. It shows that you can decide for something that you can't undo. It shows that you have character and determination and that you're probably a bit of a bad ass ;)
