I was at the swimming pool last week and saw a woman, 40 something, mother of two girls, who had just gotten her second tattoo.
Then I was at a play Saturday night and saw a grey-haired woman who had to be my age or older (I'm 54) with a rose tattoo on her upper arm.
Now that body ink is commonplace, are all the self-conscious hipsters now going to eschew tattoos?
Will those who have them regret them even more, or still feel good about them?
Well, I didn't get mine to BE anything, but it was back when such a thing was still outside the norm...now that I see so many OOH LOOK AT ME Ed Hardy-wearin' Hot Topic shopping consumers...I am less inclined to display myself. Does not for a minute mean I'm any less glad to have my markings, because none were off-the-wall impulses...but I didn't join the tribe, either.
Sort of. But not in a good way IMO. A big part of it is of the "latest fad" variety. In the long run, when something else comes along, fewer people will get them but nobody will care either way.
there are still a lot of people who "judge" those who have tattoos, so I'd say it isn't as accepted as one may think. There was a "surge" for a little while, but I think there are still quite a lot of people who still object of them......
They are a fad, like goth and long hair. Only problem is that those that easily follow the fads are going to find that when this fad fades, their tats won't.
To a point, but you generally still have to cover them up for most jobs, so not entirely. I don't have any, for the record, and I don't like them, but I don't "judge" people with them.
My dad is 84 and he has some tatoo's. He got his in the army during WWII. Tats are something I never cared to have. Seems to me when the fad is over your still stuck with them.
