Does a tattoo always mean that a woman is bad or is secretly a slut or untrustworthy? What if there is only one tattoo and it is your name (this is the situation with my GF)? Does it show that the woman is unstable and impulsive, or is such a permanent decision a sign that she is totally devoted to you? Or does it show that she is trying desperate measures to try to save a relationship that is doomed to fail?
If I am obliged to answer my own question, I would say that any of the above might be true depending on the situation, but still invite the insight of the other men.

for me personally, yes.
this applies not just to women, but to men also. I think tattoos are a mark of degeneracy, a clearly visible indicator of poor impulse control and lack of self-respect, regardless of gender.
will I fuck girls with tattoos? absolutely. Will I wife them? absolutely not?
Would I want to hire dudes with tattoos to work for me? no

Yes, a tattoo is almost always a red flag and almost always a sign of BPD.

I read the symptoms of that and I don't think it fits her personality.

Focus more on your self, man.
Yes, there are a million little things that can go wrong, especially since you have a child.
But ultimately, you can't control everything. There's always a chance that a meteor will fall on your house and crush you all tomorrow. Do your part, and then smile and try to have fun. That's the most you can do.

I guess so.

I came back to this post several days later to read the other replies, and I saw your replies.
Jesus Christ dude.
Your question is the equivalent of this.
holiday 2mo ago
No. It's not the same. Because I'm not trying to figure out if a woman is relationship material or not. I'm trying to figure out if the woman I'm already with will stay with me or leave me. I worded it vaguely so it could be a general discussion useful to others, about what tattoos can say about a woman's psychology, instead of seeking advice about my specific situation.
Typo-MAGAshiv Endorsed Contributor 2mo ago
It is.
You'll never know for sure, especially based on just one thing like that.
holiday 2mo ago
I guess so. We were broken up for almost three years. We only got back together 5 months ago. This is my thinking - if the tattoo is a sign of devotion to our relationship, I can rest more easy and assume she doesn't want to leave. But if it's a sign of mental instability, it's probably more likely that she will leave on a whim any day now.
Typo-MAGAshiv Endorsed Contributor 2mo ago
It is.
Complacency will harm you, and assuming things can fuck your life up. Just work on yourself, and hope for the best while bracing for the worst (without obsessing).
Easy, right?
It can be both.
Where is the tattoo?
Over her heart, on her arm = good.
On her face = psycho.
Based only on what you said so far, I wouldn't sweat the tattoo. No one thing is ever a guarantee or usually a dealbreaker.
I recommend you read the sidebar at the MRP subreddit, especially MMSL, NMMNG, & WISNIFG.
holiday 2mo ago
Yeah. I guess that's all I can do. The tattoo is on the crook between her neck and shoulder. It is her only tattoo.
When we broke up I found red pill and followed the advice of go fuck ten other women to try to get over her and I fucked around 70 girls in two years. Most of them were hot. I was living in a town with a big party university. But I never stopped loving my first girl. In real life I try to play it cool and not be beta but it's hopeless I'm in love. She has been living here for 4 months and every evening I drive home in dread that she won't be here anymore. I know I have to get myself together.

From Roissy's classic post, the Sixteen Commandments of Poon:
Typo-MAGAshiv Endorsed Contributor 2mo ago
No.
Like anything, context matters.
There's a lot of anti-tattoo sperginess in the manosphere, but not all tattoos are bad. I was always OK with them as long as they were unique and meaningful, and not so many that she looked like a circus freak.
I'll put it this way: my wife and I both have a little ink, and we can both easily hide it under ordinary clothes. And the worst two mega-sluts from my past were both ink-free.
Tattoos and their absence can clue you in on someone, but they aren't end-all, be-all, and again, the context matters.
pofkaf 1 2mo ago
All women are secretly sluts. Tattoos or not. It's just a matter of the right guy bringing the slutiness out of them.
In terms of tattoos, think about them as a reflection of the woman's thirst for attention. If a woman has many colorful, complex tattoos in overt places, then she most likely needs a lot of attention. That will almost always come back to bite her boyfriend in the ass, because she will eventually seek sexual attention from other guys. Those types of women should strictly be used for sexual pleasure, nothing more.
On the other hand, women who have a couple of simple, meaningful, discreet tats are generally less inclined to be attention seeking.

Was the tattoo done FOR YOU....... or is it a coincidence that her last bf had the same name?
holiday 2mo ago
yeah she got it for me

"I see you got a tattoo with my name on it."
"Oh yeah...that...yeah...umm...yeah it's got your name on it..."
Honestly, I've never met a woman with a tattoo that wasn't a slut, or an alcoholic, or a druggie, or a basket case.
Including the women in my own family. But YMMV.

If a woman tattooed my name on her i would think she is nuts. My first thought depending on the context would be BPD.
Remember that women don't have hobbies or interests of their own that weren't influenced by a man. There is nothing motivating a woman to go get a needle poked into her arm. So to me it's a 5-alarm hoe signal to have almost any ink. The exception is perhaps a tiny (not small, tiny) ankle tattoo and the like that don't signal a larger interest or commitment to tattoos.

wonderman73 2mo ago
This is the correct take. If she had a tattoo, she either has BPD or some kind of cluster B personality.
holiday 2mo ago
I was her first boyfriend. She's the mother of my child. The tattoo is on the side of her neck.
cundardunfinished 2mo ago
why are you hung up on the tattoo then, you've already had a child with this woman. You ask a vague question and then trickle more information in the replies like we should know your situation
holiday 2mo ago
Was trying to figure out what my GF's mindset was in getting it (devotion to our relationship vs mental instability vs desperation to save something that can't be fixed). Trying to get in a more clear head space because I'm worried she might leave with my son. Worded it vaguely so it could be a general discussion maybe useful to other guys too about general concepts instead of seeking advice about my specific situation.

Good quality general ideas come from many specific cases not the other way round.
Read post from a link, especially focus on General Posting in second, write it as described again.

Where do you guys get these retarded ideas?
If enough endorsed contributors wrote that eating dog shit once a week would get you a beautiful wife, would you go out to your local park and start chowing down on some turds?
Here's how this works. Some jerk-off with a stick up his ass came on here and decided that he didn't like women that weren't typical tradcon fare. Then a bunch of weak beta men who weren't getting laid decided it was best to listen to the opinion of someone getting laid. Fast forward and we have a whole generation of spergs with needs to "please daddy" instead of developing their own opinions on what's attractive.
Tattoos aren't really a red flag, but herd think will make guys jump on a bandwagon to condemn them.

You clearly are not being honest.

When a woman has born you a child then you have really had her and she has really got you. Its done by then and there is not vetting left.
You let her get the tattoo. If there is a problem with it, it was your leadership. I would just chill, this is your lady and the die is cast.
