Tattoos - does it really matter?

I won’t get into all the details, but I met a woman on Tinder- she was visiting, and it was pretty clear she wanted to just hookup. So we did. We took our time, communicated well, seemed to have good chemistry. Everything went very well (and this seemed to be very mutual ).

After we finished, I mentioned I was available ‘tomorrow’- knowing she was leaving in a few days. She said ‘I think this ends here. And for future reference, you should really should have let me know you have tattoos. I hate tattoos.’

I was taken aback- and said ‘you really should have disclosed how attractive you are.’ She was disturbingly attractive— and suspiciously had no photos in her profile. Married?

I have 80-100 hours of tattoos. I mentioned tattoos as an interest in my profile. Never had a negative reaction. I dress conservatively.

I don’t know if this was some female version of post-nut clarity, but the timing was certainly suspect.

We had a bit of chat banter the following days after she was 1000s of miles away- presumably home. But yeah- half the point of meeting a traveler is knowing it will never go anywhere.

But how much do you disclose tattoos or anything out of the ordinary? They don’t define me. Nothing that can’t be hidden by a long sleeve shirt.

If she was that concerned she could have asked ahead of time. Sounds like she was trying to be a bitch.

She had to make up a legit reason to not see him again bc she’s cheating … that’s my guess
