Are the following two sentences the same?
1.I wouldn't have thought it would be sexy (this is a line from Friends,"it" here means "a tattoo")
2.I would have thought it wouldn't be sexy.

In both sentences she thinks it's sexy and she is surprised that it is. But I have to agree with Bill, there's a slight chance she hasn't decided yet.
This is how I see it:
The first means more like she didn't expect herself to find it sexy.
The second she was sure that it wouldn't be sexy but it turned out to be.
