I've had tattoos for awhile (remember I was neck tattoo guy) and am as ugly as I've ever been, the only reason I'm getting laid a lot now is I'm just going up and talking to girls I fancy instead of being on the internet all day like I used to. Also a few mindshifts in how I think about girls, myself, and sex. Looks don't seem to matter as much as people think, at least for girls. Think they're much more about the experience or vibe or emotions.
