How to bring up my playboy bunny tattoo on a date?
Question Posted Sunday June 7 2009, 12:20 pm
I'm a guy with a playboy bunny tattoo on my arm. I was stupid and got it on a whim and wish I had never done it now. I'm not a player, and was never into playboy mag. Removal is not an option ($$$).
Anyway, when I meet somebody and we go on our first, 2nd or 3rd date, at some point I need to reveal my tattoo, since she'll see it a somepoint and I'd rather not surprise her.
When I go out wearing a tank or even a short sleeve shirt, I've never had any success meeting girls, as they tend to be repulsed by my bunny because of first impressions.
It's awkward and embarassing, so what would be the best way to tell her on a date, or respond on a bad first impression when my bunny is showing ?

Tell her you lost a bet or something, but I looked at the picture and I don't really think its that bad at all, plus you look like you have pretty nice arms from that picture. I'd don't think a playboy tattoo would scare most girls away unless they are really shallow. Next time you are out just pretend it's not even there unless they ask about it. Just be confident and have a conversation, so their impression is of you as a person not just your tattoo [ *Kate*'s advice column | Ask *Kate* A Question ]

Well, Mr. Hue Hefner girls love guys who can make them laugh. Think of the story as to WHY you even got that tattoo and try to make it humerus. Laugh it off.
Way to bring it up? Try to get into one of those conversations where you say "I'll tell you a secret if you tell me one"
Then say "Alright, promise you won't laugh? *Tell your story* tell her you definitely plan on getting in removed, and then show her"
