Tattoos have been making a comeback in a big way in recent years. While you used to just see a tattoo here and there, these days more and more men are decorating their entire bodies with ink.
There’s something way sexy about a guy who’s covered in body art. It shows that he’s got a tough side, and that he’s a little bit of a rebel, but that he’s also sensitive and artistic. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Literally. But you better not mess with him or he’ll kick your ass. It’s this conflicting mix of juxtapositions that makes tatted up guys so damn irresistible.
Scroll down to see pictures of inked up guys showing off their tats…

Didn’t think their popularity waned. For tatts see Colby Keller’s videos on colbydoesamerica.com. FREE (NY MD MA ME recommended by a fan)

The ones that get it for me are guys who have the masc element nailed to the wall, along w an attractive purely sex charged body then they amp it up with tats that add the bad boy just-try-to-fuck-with-me mystique. Gotta say, THAT can drive me to distraction with pure lust.

I love ’em. I love mine. I love my husband’s.
Other than my husband’s monogram near my heart and the symbols on my fingers, mine don’t signify anything. They’ve been chosen and designed not to be all messy next to each other. They’re designs I like, like the art in my house. I buy it because I like it.
There is a bonus in that they hold attention at work. My business is as buttoned up as can be so when I conduct meetings people are surprised to catch glimpses and it helps keep attention when I’m speaking. They’re also conversation starters (and more) when I travel for business.

Some are nice, most are gross. Just my opinion!

One or two tattooes can be tasteful, too many… like fullbody ones… yeah I’ll have to pass. I have one myself, but I would never go more than that. And what if I regret it in the future?

But I must admit…

This guy is good looking… even with more than one or two… he does it tastefully IMO. Some of these other guys do not.

I’ve yet to see a tattoo I like, but having your husband’s monogram near your heart makes my own heart melt!

Actually I find tattoos totally resistable

I don’t mind SOME tats but most of these guys have overdone it.

@Bauhaus:
Aww. Yeah, the monogram is how he signs his work. I’m afraid you’d be disappointed by its being inside a cartouche within a larger Irezumi-style tattoo. I’m probably going to get our wedding date on my wrist for our first anniversary.

The face and neck tattoos say you aren’t going very far in life. The only “sexy” guy I see is the next to last photo from BEARDEDLUST.

@Paco:
Don’t be so quick to generalize. I have neck ink and have done pretty well for myself.

I wish this stupid trend from the 90s would just die already. Most of the tattoo parlors around where I live have shut down. Thank god these kids have more brains than my generation did.
I work in the real world, corporate America will not accept them. If you choose to be stupid and cover yourself with this junk, you will be minimum wage the rest of your life unless you have the ability to start your own business.

Some tattoos are beautiful; some tattooed guys are hot. I’ve never considered getting one myself. Maybe it’s a fear of commitment.
topshelf
I like tattoos. They can really be hot. But I would never touch a guy with one on the face, neck or belly. These guys are all nasty, and look like total meth addicts.
Glücklich
@SpunkyBunks:
The corporate world has accepted pretty much whatever I’ve jammed down its throat; they’re breathing through the nose now.
Seriously, I have a fair amount of ink, some of which can be seen even when I’m fully dressed, and you couldn’t get more corporate than my place. Tattoos haven’t held me back.

I have a Block O tattoo on my upper left arm. I got it because I went to school at Ohio State and I love to watch them play football. I always wanted a tattoo so that’s what I got.

Tats can be hot, but frankly all these guys look terrible.
And this is my first post today. No way I was posting comments too quickly.

I personally think one or two tats are fine. Any more than that is a turnoff for me.

The only interesting guys are the guy with the dog and the guy with the cat. The rest of them wouldn’t be interesting with or without tattoos. Tattoos on the face are just totally ugly. The author of this post shouldn’t try a push his bad taste on the rest of us. None of them are irresistible.
lencho
Sorry, I don’t see the fascination or sexiness in tattoos – especially propelling myself 50 faded, saggy years down the road. I’d rather have my art hanging on a wall, not covering a body.
notevenwrong
@lencho, I never got that argument against tattoos. If you’re going to be saggy, how is the absence of tattoos going to make you any sexier?

One of my fave hotties with tats is missing- fab Alex Minsky.

I think what spoils tats for me are that they have evolved into another “must have” accoutrement in order to fit in with the prevailing group-think. Kind of like back in the day, when 90% of trendy gay men were wearing those awful white briefs which sported someone elses initials. I’m old enough to remember tattoos being worn by outliers, non-conformists and lives lived on the owner’s terms. Now it’s just the reverse, guys who don’t feel the need to follow the herd and tat up are the hottest!
Merv
I agree with jantheman, Tattoos used to be about rebellion, but now they’re about conformity. Most people get them because they see celebrities or their friends getting them. Usually, they’re low quality, ugly “art,” that no person with taste should want on their bodies. Nice skin is always more beautiful than ink. But that’s not the main reason I dislike tattoos. I’m repulsed by the lack of foresight. Tattoos are permanent. Why would anyone assume that what they find beautiful and meaningful now will also be what they find beautiful and meaningful in ten, twenty, or fifty years?
OhHellNo
The title is a misnomer. There’s no such thing as a hot guy with a tat. There are, however, tons and tons of otherwise hot guys who look like sad, please-notice me insecure poster-children because of their tats (and now that they’re everywhere, the more desperate ones are putting giant holes in their ears, to match the ones in their heads). Tattoos can turn the most sophisticated man into Treasure Island trailer-trash instantly. My favorite tattoo was on an otherwise goodlooking bodybuilder who said it was the Japanese symbol for “strong”. Knowing Japanese, I kind of enjoyed breaking it to him that he’d been had by a clever artist, and that it was the symbol for “fool”. Turns out desperate guys will believe anything that makes them feel better.
OzJosh
If you saw any of this “art” hanging on a wall your heart would sink at how cliched and lifeless it is. It’s no better for being on someone’s body.
judysdad
Those guys are mostly all NOT hot and the tats are gross. Trailer trash.
robtosh
Can’t stand them! In the main they are an ugly distraction. Unfortunately for those who have been tattooed, a tattoo is for life and what once may have looked good when the flesh was young and firm will look sad and pathetic as age takes its inevitable toll.
silveroracle
Can’t stand them!
Wait until they decide that it was all a bad idea and want them removed.
In my opinion, I feel as though they must hate their body utter wise why cover such a beautiful form with tattoos?
onthemark
Gross. Especially the facial tattoos. And it permanently damages their job prospects, although they probably don’t need money for anything except more tattoos (and maybe meth), and their moms probably still do their laundry. It must be tough to get a job looking like that, even at Burger King?
Clark35
Yuck. Some ink looks good on people but these guys over do it, especially the ones with face tats.
Glücklich
I agree that facial tattoos are where I draw the line and facial piercings anywhere other than the septum are over said line. I wouldn’t NOT hire someone with face ink (depending on what it is) but I would not hire that person for a client- or public-facing role. If that makes me a hypocrite, I’ve been called worse. I don’t have face ink but I do have ink visible above the collar and below the shirt sleeve.
notevenwrong
I don’t mind tattoos and I would certainly not discriminate against them in hiring.
Having said that, I think the first guy is cute, with or without his tattoos. I think all the others have made unfortunate body art decisions, but I acknowledge not everybody has the same taste. I still wouldn’t look down on them or discriminate against them because of it. I would totally date someone with a lot of tats if I like the rest of the package.
