Where can I live where no one has tattoos?

I only know boomers with this attitude towards tattoos: my DH's friend's wife, age 70, said this to me when I got mine: "Aren't you afraid someone will think you got it in prison?!?" If she'd been wearing pearls, she would have clutched them.

Gen Xer here and very much think like her.

I think….what did this person aspire to be when they made this choice. Are you a drug addict? If I’m interviewing you for a job I’d take a hard pass. Too risky. You read as problematic. It screams low class.
I say nothing but this is what I’m thinking.

This is stupid, and you'd have to be a mouth breathing idiot to believe what you wrote. This entire thread is trolling, and should have been locked hours ago.

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

Oh god, I’d take tattoos every day of the week over “golf wear.”

But "golf wear" can be taken off and replaced. Tattoos (especially large ones) grow old with you and start to sag badly as your skin stretches, gets thinner, wrinkles, and sags.

I live in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in DC, and I have multiple tattoos, as does my husband. And my across the street neighbor. And another neighbor. We're everywhere!!!!

Another GenXer here and I think tattoos are awful. So did my Silent Generation parents. Tattoos are only acceptable for men who served in a war.

... and so does your skin. When you look old because of aging, you look old, PP. I'm not going to look any older if I have tattoos (I don't, but I'm not unrealistic about being able to stave off aging by not getting a tattoo).

Not a lot of tattoos at our pool club in Bethesda (Mohican). You’ll occasionally see one (usually small and discreet), but it’s not common. No one walking around with sleeves or large tats on their body.

So yeah, move to the Mohican catchment and get on the waitlist lol

1. Tour the neighborhood.
2. Demand everybody gets naked and pass your inspection.

I don't have any ink, but a close friend has tattoos that transform some pretty ugly scars (was a NICU baby, has had several surgeries) from something that is stressful and sad for her to look at to something she finds beautiful -- or at least more beautiful than the scars.

I don't know. Seems like the sort of thing that I just don't care about, myself.

Same for a friend of mine, basically. Some of her tattoos cover or incorporate scars. She has a lot. People gawk at her scars and (maybe) not her face, which is disfigured.

Find the fanciest episcopal church and hang out with those people. Even if someone has a tattoo, you wouldn’t know it because they have enough clothes on.

Agree. I'm not particularly into tattoos and don't have any myself but this argument never made sense to me. When you're 80 and wrinkly and sagging all over, it won't make much of a difference whether you have tattoos or not. I'm sorry but you're going to look old and not exactly pleasing to look at either way.

I live in a Boston suburb. No tattoos and none of my neighbors have either
