Are there any millenials who think tattoos are trashy?

Tattoos are out of fashion but people can't stop wearing them . It's sad. Like a permanent bad hair look.

I'm 33 and don't like tattoos. I think it's yuck. That's said, there a difference between a hidden tattoo and the idea of showing tattoos in the workplace. Its gone too far. Those tend to look dirty in my opinion.

Tattoos make various statements.
Tattoos on a woman’s face neck and upper chest say: I was abused as a child and just can’t get over it.
Those same tattoos on a man say either: I’m a food or barista worker or I got very bored in prison or both.
Lower back tats on women: yeah tramp stamp or “I thought I was very cool 20 years ago”
Big black tribal tats on white men: I wish I were a brown person.
Patches of tattoos here there and everywhere: I drink a lot. (And secretly hate myself)
A great big elaborate tattoo (sleeve, chest, back) I thought the girl with the dragon tattoo was so wonderful.
Little tiny tats that you can’t see: I want to be cool but not like above.

‘84 born, and yes I think they’re a big mistake for most people who have them

I think tattoos can look badass on the right person. Athletes, actors, musicians, etc.

That's not true. Tattoos are IN fashion. But that can and will change.

Lol. Yeah but like so many trends, they don’t look so hot on us mere mortals.

Sometimes those women with face and neck tattoos are trafficking victims.

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?

Of course not —that’s something moms have!

+1. I don’t think they are trashy I just don’t care for them/think they usually don’t look good/wonder why someone thought this thing/word was so great that they needed to get it tattooed on their body.

I’m a millennial and yes I do think there are tons of tattoos that are very trashy. Weird ugly cartoons.

Also, if you get a neck or thigh tattoo you’re basically telling the world you’ve given up.

I am a millennial without tattoos. My husband and siblings don't have tattoos either. I think some are trashy and some are beautiful. It would be unlikely I would ever get one, but I could see it getting something small if I had an incredibly strong connection to something or someone I lost and wanted that with me all the time.

Haha, right. That pretty much sums it up for me

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?

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.

There’s a lot of white fragility on this thread...nothing wrong or nasty about PP’s statement.

Except the thread isn't "what don't you like about white people"

It is about tattoos. To which this PP offers no opinion what so ever.
