Where can I live where no one has tattoos?

Tattoos should be legal only for age 25 and up. Too many regret getting them as teenagers or 20 somethings, only to discover that "clever slogan" won't look good as a grandma with wrinkles and sagging skin.

Adults shouldn't be able to make their own decisions. That's a bad take.

I can't help but wonder if this tattoo phenomena is symbolism of something deeply unhappy or dissatisfied with modern culture that they have to clutch onto tattoos as having something meaningful that they can't find elsewhere.

+1. I can understand people who get one small, meaningful tattoo that can be covered by clothes. Not my thing but I get it. But the people whose arms and legs are covered in tattoos and they can't be hidden by clothes/out there for all the world to see and they aren't rock stars? I seriously don't understand it. Why?

Here’s the thing, you don’t need to understand it. Don’t like tattoos? Then don’t get one.

And we'll openly wonder why people are so silly to cover themselves with the most garish and *unremovable* things ever. But fools are out there to be entertainment for the wise.

You sound insufferable.

Is that the best response you can come up with? Which means you don't have a decent rebuttal to the point that tattoos are ridiculous.

People have every right to cover themselves with as many tattoos as possible. I also have every right to point fingers at them and laugh and think what a schmuck.

I must say I am amused after watching the young and beautiful tattoo themselves when they privately believed they would always be young and beautiful but are now turning old and fat and their tattoos look like someone beat them up with a baseball bat. There really is nothing as awful and ugly as tattoos on older people.

DP. Oh, man. We are such different people. I am not tattooed myself, but I really love these:

1. A woman with alopecia areata who wanted to take back a bit of her stylish identity



2. A grandfather who wanted to make sure his grandchild with a cochlear implant didn't feel so alone and different



3. Honoring her ancestors, having grown up in a very traditional way of life



4. And another traditionalist (Maori)



5. This woman just looks beautiful to me. Not my cup of tea for my own body, but you really think she "look like someone beat them up with a baseball bat?"



6. And this guy just looks like he is enjoying life. Again, not a choice I'd make, but I'd clink a beer with him and listen to some stories anytime



There is also one of a woman who looks to be in her 70s or 80s that has reclaimed a breast cancer scar with lovely vines and flowers, but I don't know if that would violate Jeff's TOS, as it shows the chest scar embedded in the leafwork.

I don't know, PP. I'm not going to tell you what to think. I'm also not going to get any ink in my skin -- I have plenty of scars already, and I haven't any desire to do more to what I have, myself. But I'm not sure your sweeping judgment rings true in an all-encompassing sense.

I think Lily Pulitzer looks hideous. Where can I live where people have better taste?

Nice post. And, I agree, I think I would much prefer to have a beer with any of these folks as opposed to all the pearl clutchers.

Now, surely we can agree these are the very epitome of elegance and good taste?

I really don't care for tattoos at all, but if people want to get them, it's up to those people with they do with their bodies.

The DC area has been the most visible tattoo free place I have lived in the southeast.

Look for places where people dress up a bit. Golf wear, Lily Pulitzer patterns, tennis skirts.

Nah, they have them there too.

You guys are cracking me up! I am a CEO and I have a tattoo. It's under my Pebble Beach and Master's golf shirts. You can't judge people. You have no idea what's under their clothes.

LOL YOU crack ME up! Are we supposed to be impressed??? $167K lol is CHUMP change in DC.

What's $167K? I made more than that 20 years ago. Yes, I am a CEO with a tattoo and make 5 times that amount.

Okay, but your tattoos are of a dollar sign and the number to your secret Swiss bank account--so that's okay.

All of those tattoos are awesome to me. I love the grandfather BTW. That is incredibly sweet. I think the older woman with the body tattoo looks beautiful.

“Live and let live” is a good philosophy if you want to be content. Judging others and getting upset about others’ choices only makes your own life harder, OP.

Have you ever actually seen old sagging tattooed skin? It's not pretty and it won't look any better on old you, no matter how cool you think you are.

Your position is: "I don't think tattoos look good on older people. Because of my esthetic preferences, no adult should be allowed to get a tattoo until I deem them 'mature enough' to match my preferences."

The person who's comfortable in their body and accepts aging doesn't care about what you deem to be attractive. And tattoos on old people look way better than the shitty botox and plastic surgery that you pearl clutchers cling to.

Which of the pictures I posted in the last page has such offensively "old sagging tattooed skin: that it's beyond the pale for the individuals to be even remotely pretty or cool?

I mean, yes, we have seen old skin with tattoos. I posted several examples.
