I just think, the stretch marks and the saggy mom pouch stand out just as much at any tattoo.

They don't. I'm past 30 and it's been years since I stopped looking at tits and asses. These days it's "is she healthy?", "does her pussy smell?", "does she have good skin?", "how is her teeth?" and I swear to god: "is her tongue coated?" Yes, a pink tongue does more for me than a set of good tits and I have no idea how or when it happened but it did and it will to most of us we grow older and start appreciating a body with good genetics and less decay. Like ten years ago I loved big tits but now I love the itty bitty ones because I know they're not going to droop and the woman they're attached to is more likely to be active without a couple of heavy fat-bags so will be more healthy and firm overall. The perspective of beauty changes is my point and tattoos are one of those things that are completely unnecessary since they might make the woman more beautiful for ten years but then she's got 40 maybe 50 years with a nasty stripper-blob.

Like think of all the tribal tramp stamps. Imagine seeing that above your mom's sagging ass crack. In a few years from now this will be the reality for a generation of kids and trust me, that trend will die faster than the white fro perming trend of the 70s. That's just how it is.

As for you I'm sorry for your predicament. I don't know if you were a looker when you were younger but you've made your choices and now you're going to be competing with women who kept it light on the facial products, sun bathing and tattoos and hit the gym a couple of times a week. Those women will have a clear edge on you even if you were prettier than them when you were younger.
