Um, Gen X here…{waves}
At one point in time, tattoos were mostly confined to military or gangs or what have you.
I don’t think tattoos have been considered “edgy” in any way since maybe sometime in the 80s? My generation and younger tends to have tons of ink and facial/body piercings…I last remember people clutching their pearls about tattoos/piercings in maybe the early 90s?
Yup, and we started young. Most of my friends and I got our first ones at around 16-17.
I didn’t get my first tattoo until my late 20s, but still… Now I think it’s weird if someone doesn’t have a tattoo
I don’t have any tattoos, but that’s mostly because I can never justify the cost, always feel like I have better things to do with a couple hundred dollars.
My dad was covered in tats. My mom has a few. It was a totally normal thing my entire life. My siblings have some. Aunts, uncles.
I don’t have any tattoos because I can’t think of a single solitary thing that I want on my skin permanently.
I feel this. I got one tattoo when I was young and thought I had disposable income. I’ve wanted plenty more, but I can never justify the expense.
I don’t object to tattoos in principle, but I know that I’m impulsive, so whenever I get an idea for a tattoo, I wait six months, and will only get it inked if I still want it then. So far, that has meant that I’m tattoo-free, though I still have a couple ideas that are in the 6-month incubation period. I think those might actually get realized. It helps that a cousin’s son is an award-winning tattoo artist.
I have three adult offspring, in their 20s and 30s. Only the youngest has tattoos, and not many.
Your use of curly braces reminds me of AOL.
Personally I will judge your tattoos depending on context, looking at you folks with fucking Harry Potter tattoos and fugly ass attempts to do a face. Also piercings irk me on an instinctual level, my brain registers them as injuries and I want to correct them this also applies to earrings, my solution is to avoid looking at them.
