You're an Arkansas fan. A tatoo isn't going to make a dent either way in your trashiness level.

I have two shoulder tats and a calf tat, and had a woman throw a curling iron at me once. I'm trashier than you.

I would love to rock a half/full sleeve until 45 or so. I would just want it to magically disappear after that.

I have zero tats and plan on getting none.

I'll say calf tat with a caveat of the sometimes awesome leg sleeve.

I am a big advocate of half sleeves/sleeves as long as they're well done. I love seeing awesome and creative tattoos. The only ones I don't like are hand tattoos, they never look good to me.

My rule of thumb for tats, if you can cover them up with regular clothes (pants, long sleeves, shoes), they aren't trashy. I don't get the tattoo hate in the south.

No calf tats. I have 2 shoulder tats, and 1 on the forearm.

I have no tats but several of my employees do... I don't care for them but if someone wants one that's fine... Just don't go overboard.

military tats are the exception to the rule.

tats that can be covered up aren't as trashy as those that can't with the exception of the calf tat. It seems the secr has a good level of class

Seein as I am roughly 45% covered in tattoos I will say the neck and face tats are to much and that's why I don't have them.

Some chicks can make sleeve tats look sexy.

Nobody can make a calf tat look good.

Barbed wire tat around the bicep is pretty damn trashy

The only trashy tats are the ones that are overboard in terms of real estate taken up, or ones gotten for dumb reasons (i.e. Kentucky 2014 National Champs tat guy).

A guy I worked with in college randomly became an OU fan -- the epitome of a bandwagon fan -- and got OU inked on his calf. He also got a Cubs tat on his bicep because he went to a Cubs game while in college and decided afterward he'd be a Cubs fan. Let's just say he wasn't the coolest guy in the world.

I dunno why, but most of the Navy Seals I came across in the navy had a tribal type band around their calf.
