Not trying to be sexist or misogynistic here, but I have always been very surprised at women choosing to be inked. It seems out of character for most females to apply something so permanent to their skin. Most have many pairs of shoes, handbags, necklaces, earrings, etc. so that they may constantly change the way they look. It would seem the permanence of the tattoo would be off-putting to them from the very start.
On a lighter note, I remember Orson Bean remarking that his wife had considered getting a rose tattooed on her chest. He discouraged her from doing so saying that he could't bear the thought of it become a "long-stemmed rose over the years!"
I agree. I’ve never cared for tats on women.
