In my experience girls with tattoos always f on the first date and are much more likely to take it up the date as they have a good pain threshold.

Maybe that's your experience here as paying for the girls gives you sex no matter if they have tats or not. In the US, women aren't as willing, even when they have tats. A good pain threshold? Does that mean it's okay to inflict pain during sex?

Judging anyone besides on their actual intelligence from tattoos doesn't work, as it has no bearing on anything. I'm the only one in my family besides my mom that doesn't have a tattoo and all my children have well above average IQ's, and my dad, who also had a tattoo, had a genius level IQ, so that theory doesn't fly. Some of my friends also have tats and I've known them as very intelligent people for many years. I don't like seeing them in women, especially my daughters, but that's their choice,and people have reasons they get them, although I'm sure they might regret it later.

Yes, but we see a lot of tats on extremely stupid people around town and we can at least say they must be impressionable to risk sepsis and other reactions, simply to have an indelible  butterfly on their hairy shoulder. Do the few in your family really swing the pendulum over to that side? My father's answer to why he had a tat...drunk in Hong Kong while a soldier!

I don't think many think about complications when getting a tattoo, besides the possibility of a dirty needle in some shops. I wish they didn't do it, but they all have multiple tats. Freedom of expression I guess. My dad had one he got during his tenor in the Army, which I understand is peer pressure also.

I do have a blank canvas, at least no tattoos. I believe I have a very good understanding of I.Q., intelligence quotation. It is a number representing someone's ability to reason. Reasoning is a delusive activity of our intellect. Its purpose is to make us believe we understand reality, which is complete chaos. Reasoning has practical uses, but its purpose is to delude us into believing understand and are in control of our lives and the universe, which we certainly are not.

Must remember to get back to this after the coffee has kicked in. 

No, coffee stimulates your brain to produce these delusions of reason and logic. If you want to reduce or temporarily cease them, try sitting (zazen).

Lots of IQ talk in this thread, so I figured a graphical representation might be in order, so that visitors get up to speed on the discussion.
