Why are there not many American or ATP players with tattoos?

I can't think of any American or Canadian players with tattoos.

Ummmm, ok. If you want to know why any player, it doesn't matter where they're from, doesn't have any tattoos, I suggest you ask every single player that question. Unless somebody has made a public announcement over it (which is doubtful for the vast majority of players if not all of them) or somebody here knows a player directly, there is literally nobody on this forum who can answer your question.



Do you really just want pics of players with tats? If so, why not just delete this thread and start a new one asking for exactly that?

But judging people with tattoos especially saying you would distrust women with tattoos is a very "boomer" take.

It doesn't just stand for the age, it colloquially stands for the backwards mindset too.

I played tennis with an Italian guy who has tattoos all over his head and legs. Wow, he is one of the most polite and soft spoken person I've ever met. He's very kind, very gentle and he never curse or get upset when we played tennis.

I also played against two Australian guys, both of them don't have tattoos. But when they lost points they would curse and scream their head off, occasionally smacked the balls towards the fence. They're not very polite at all.

So you are saying the issue is Australians. Good to know.
 
No one cares if someone else has tattoos or not lol.

This is not the 80s and 90s.

They might not like it aesthetically, but the days of it being a bad thing are over. Except face tattoos.

I never understand people getting tattoos, very quickly they fade, shrink,, stretch, smear, etc and look terrible

Is it just something people do because they’re so bored with themselves, I really don’t get it
 
I get it even if I wouldn't get it. it can be defined as an addiction in certain cases. For most, it's a small ornament.

From an aesthetic point of view, they seem to ruin an outfit by half peeping-out. They are best left under intimate apparel.

Culture and MAYBE even interpretation of religion. A lot of Europeans are Catholic Christians but to them Christianity probably doesn't mean conservatism, whereas Christianity gets interpreted quite differently in the US, and a lot of well-off Americans who happen to be able to play tennis might happen to be Christians

Just a really WILD guess though and correct me if I'm wrong.

For Americans and tattoos, I would say it not necessarily about their religious affiliation to a broad degree, but cultural; some simply feel tattoos are defacing the human body, while there's also judgement about what sociopolitical ideology one is associated with, which prevents them from ever going that route.

I never trust a woman with balloon lips either. I’ve noticed that Sabalenka’s lips seems to enlarge every time she wins a major.

Women with lip fillers turn me off hugely. I hate women wearing lipstick. I would not have married a woman with tattoos or who smokes. Both suggest a woman with bad morals. I would have a casual fling with them though as they are more likely to be open to pushing boundaries and being risque.

everyone in football and the NBA has them, but not really golf or tennis… my take is the americans that go into golf and tennis are too nerdy to get them.

With the specifications you have provided, I believe you don't like, or directly hate, 95% of women in your age group.

No U.S. President has ever had a tattoo. Hopefully that standard of excellence continues to be followed.

Research should be done if they have hidden tattoos (perhaps hidden under their clothes).

The answer is yes, there are a few known tattooed U.S. presidents: Andrew Jackson (7th, 1829–1837), James K. Polk (11th, 1845–1849), and Dwight D. Eisenhower (34th, 1953–1961) were rumored to have tattoos.


But 26th President Theodore Roosevelt (1901–1909) was the only U.S. President to have a confirmed tattoo. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt had gunpowder tattoos that he accidentally inflicted on himself as a 13-year-old boy.

What? I thought that people from the 19th century never used tattoos. Except for those from non Western cultures.

You have no idea how much you are missing out. My ntrp rating would be 2 levels lower if not for the extra T boost from several times per week strolls past the spandex treadmill garden at LA Fitness.

I don't know about the Dayak. Are they cool?

Super cool. If strangers threaten Dayak people's livelihood, the Dayak people would cut their heads off.

Following their ill treatment by the Japanese, the Dayak of Borneo formed a force to help the Allies. Australian and British special operatives of Z Special Unit developed some of the inland Dayak tribesmen into a thousand-strong headhunting army. This army of tribesmen killed or captured some 1,500 Japanese soldiers.

Dayaks are also known to lop off the heads of Madurese settlers, whom they accuse of brutality, greed and arrogance.

Now that we are talking about tattoos, I hate to have ink applied on my fingertips when my fingerprints are required. It doesn't matter it's not permanent, and that it can be later removed with diverse degrees of difficulty.
