Women like tattooed men for the low inhib tough guy image, but at the same time, lots of tattoos are seen as low class and ghetto.
Hood tats like this, with all the script and black ink like they were done in prison, are seen as high value to hoodrats but to everyone else they're trashy. Same with tribal tats that look very low class and are basically the male version of tramp stamps.
Then there's indie style tats, that appeal to suburban hipster types, but don't have a bad boy image. Geometric and new school tattoos all fall under this category.
The best style has both raw sex appeal while not appearing lower class. You could argue all tattoos are lower class and that would have been true in the past, but nowadays everyone practically has at least one. One style that has both is American traditional. It oozes a 1950s Americana aesthethic that's tough and doesn't look low class. The heavy bold colors scream loudly and since it's not in all black and white it's not associated with prisons. Anyone have any other ideas on this? Another idea is wearing high class clothing like men's suits and overcoats with tattoos peeking out of the sleeves to show you're high class and still low inhib.
