Nine Tattooed Love Boys Who Can Tramp Stamp Us Any Time

Sorry, Wentworth, we'll wait for the cliff notes.

From Wikipedia:

A tattoo is a marking made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment for artistic, ritualistic or other reasons*.

* Including, but not limited to: drunken dares, drunken expressions of misplaced affection, drunken and hilarious misunderstandings about what those Chinese symbols mean.

What is it about tattoos that provokes such debate? For every, "Tattooed guys are hot!," there's a,"Gross! How could someone do that to their body?"

The latter is a passionate argument, but we here at AfterElton.com believe in free artistic bodily expression, and if that means providing examples of hot celebrity guys with tattoos to prove our point, well, we're up to the task!

These men have used tattoos to enhance their already palpable appeal, and prove that bodies can be works of art.

Nick Youngquest and Gareth Thomas

It's no wonder that rugby Gods Nick Youngquest and Gareth Thomas both scored entries on the 2011 AfterElton.com Hot 100. Nick is a great ally, and Gareth is an out champion.

Their tattoos don't overshadow their amazing athletic bodies, and actually provide a perfect compliment to the chiseled perfection.

So why do we have the two of them together? As amazing as they are separately, when you put their bodies together, their tattoos provide what looks like a map to an Indiana Jones-esque treasure! ... Or treasure trail.
