I started dating this guy, real sweet and kinda hot, about 3 weeks ago. I met him through a friend of mine…and last Sat my roommate was out and we got a lil’ busy…and when he took his shirt off I saw he had a big ole’ blue playboy bunny tattoo on his upper arm.
I was totally freaked out…I like tat’s on guys (I don’t have any, and don’t want none either), but this was hella’ shockin… He didn’t really tell me about it before, and I think it’s playa-like, and totally honestly, kinda gay…he doesn’t seem gay tho, but he swears it’s his only tat (I didn’t check 😉
He said he was drunk (don’t they all ?!?) but I could tell he wasn’t totally truthful…wonder what the story was …
I bailed that night, and he picked me up for dinner Wed to celebrate my new job, and he wore short sleeves for the first time and I could see that bunny the whole dinner…I felt really wierd, esp. since the waitress kept staring at it, and actually commented that it was “cute” ?!?
I’ve seen playboy bunny tats on girls, but *never* on a guy, and I have no idea where he’s coming from. Is this something I need to get over, or is there something wrong and I should run far and fast ?

Although it is a little weird, I think you should try to look past the tattoo and see the guy. If it is something that you can’t look past, don’t date him anymore. A tattoo is forever, and unless you two ending up marrying each other, I don’t think he would consider covering it (permanently) or removing it. If that is his only tattoo, maybe he really was drunk (although that is specifically WHY it is not legal to be tattooed under the influence of drugs or alcohol). Try asking him how old he was when he got it (I’m not sure how old you are, but if he got it in his teens, it could be his biggest regret. I’m sure your thoughts of running far far away would hurt his feelings if it’s something he is stuck with forever out of stupidity.)
I have tattoos and I would hate to think that a potentially good relationship would go down the drain because a guy didn’t approve of one of my tattoos.
I say try to stick it out, if everything else seems fine and if you think he is worth it. If he is doing other things you are questioning too, or you actually think he could be a player, then you should dump him.
Good luck!

This is definitely something you need to get over if you really want to be with this guy. I know a few guys who have the playboy bunny tattoo on them and it’s not really as big a deal as you are making it out to be. My guy friend’s got it because they are big fans of the magazine which really means they are really not gay.
There is nothing wrong with him and if you’re gonna run just because of his tattoo then perhaps you’re just not that into him and are looking for any excuse to dump the guy.

I had a guy friend who would go tanning and use the lil playboy bunny thing so he would have the tanline of it….thank goodness he grew out of that.
I honestly don’t think it’s anything more than a bad decision made in poor taste on his part. We all make stupid mistakes, his just happens to be permanent…and slightly hilarious. : ) Good luck anyhow.

i think he was drunk or he thinks he needs it to act like a guy but i don’t think its necessary and i think you should take things slow and see if you do really like him and if things get really serious then ask him to get it removed. but i think is a perverted male thing..

Uhm, he probably was drunk….or just has poor taste and questionable impulse control.

im going to disagree with like everyone here…
it means he’s a douche. ditch him.

PLAYER, most likely; depends on the guy. i have a friend that’s a pimp and he has one! BUT,at the same time my husband wanted one and i know he never cheated on me.————-he never got it!!!
