Image Roundup: Men's Tats

In conjunction with my love for guys smoking, which I posted about under Smoking Hott Men, I also have a thing for tattoos. I don't have any myself, although I probably would if I had the money, but it just has to be the bad boy effect. The image of a guy smoking and/or with tats doesn't make you scream “he will be a great father of my children!!” but for a good girl like me, it makes me want to break some rules and whip out my I'm-BA hair styles.

Yea. So here are some guys with tats from my Manly Style board on Pinterest.

Side note: the 2003 movie Sylvia (about Sylvia Plath) is a great great watch. It is very dark and romantic and has both Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Craig so it is great acting.

Smoking Hott Men

Lately, I have noticed a trend in my men's fashion pins on Pinterest. Obviously suits are displayed there profusely because a man in a suit is to a woman as a woman in lingerie is to a man. Suits are sexy. But I have noticed something else catching my eye recently, and it took a great article on AllWomenStalk.com to make me realize it.

The article was about common fetishes. While I would not call this a fetish, it definitely has a draw for me. I have always been drawn to photography of people smoking, but because of my upbringing had always avoided hanging out with smokers. Now that I don't give a hoot who does what as long as they have integrity in their lives, I have found that I really enjoy watching people smoke.

A while back I told my guy that it was a shame he was trying to quit because I would love to take pictures of him smoking. Well, the pictures never happened, but I am still apparently drawn to photography of men smoking and just think it is sexy. Don't judge. I also am beginning to do some deep meditation on whether or not I find tattoos attractive (this is sarcasm, of course I do).

So, in case you also enjoy the smoky men, here are my pins I have spoken of. What do you think of guys smoking? What about women?

One great man on smoking: As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake. - Mark Twain
