Are there any millenials who think tattoos are trashy?

You don’t need to generalize that all white people are like that. I’m white and I don’t know anyone with the above issues, except maybe a few that voted for Trump. What if I wrote a sweeping generalization about people of color?

Millennial. I don’t think tattoos are trashy, I just think they’re stupid and faintly exhibitionist. “It’s for my dad dying of cancer. He really loved his Boxer, Spider, so i have this spider on my left forearm.” It’s like roadside shrines to people who’ve died in accidents; why do you need everyone to honor your business? What makes you so special that you need that attention? “I don’t get them for anyone but myself.” Bull. If that was so, you could just think your thoughts in your head. Your love of Disney won’t be any less true if you didn’t have Mickey Mouse on your hip.

I’m a 34 year old millennial and I don’t really like tattoos or have any myself. I like the ones that are actually good artwork, but they tend to be really large if that’s the case. My neighbor has a full arm tattoo that’s all nautical and pirate themed, and the artwork is cohesive and very well done and it looks great. I also know it cost her thousands of dollars and years to get done. Most tattoos are not like that and just look like someone dropped a random drawing on your arm or leg or whatever.

Not clever wording- rude and off topic. I'm same age and white and don't personally know anyone plagued with these issues. Every race/color has generalizations that 'aren't a good look' and unflattering stereotypes.

I tend to agree with this. It’s a certain look and not everyone can pull it off. But I really love big tattoos that are living works of art. My husband’s tattoo artist is a nationally renowned tattoo artist who specializes in horror themes and horror figures. His work is amazing, it is so lifelike and detailed. He has a gift. I can appreciate this form of art and this type of gift without calling other people trashy. He’s covered in tattoos but he’s highly intelligent, kind, and he makes a LOT of money using his talent.

The random thing looks like a kid got into the magic markets. Not a good look.

It's great that you love it, but I really don't think your husband's horror themed tattoo by a renowned tattoo artist is going to impress anyone but you and him.

This is the way I feel about Ed Sheeran. His body looks like a graffiti wall.

That’s okay. We’re really not concerned with impressing anyone. (And my husband’s tattoos aren’t horror themed, but they’re detailed, beautiful, and very sexy to me!). Have a wonderful day.

I am a 38 year old white male and I agree with this assessment.

White Gen-Xer. Wholeheartedly agree.

Trends come and go. 20 years ago, a lower back tattoo was sexy. 20 years later, it's just a big blurry tramp stamp on a middle aged woman. Even the ones that look nice right now are going to blur over time. Some old tattoos look more like a skin condition than a picture.

+1
Do younger women still get lower back tattoos?

I'm a millennial and find tattoos trashy for me. I'm indifferent to them for others.
