[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it trashy and low class / low intelligence the majority of the time.[/quote]

I disagree. A lot of smart, interesting and accomplished people have them. I personally don’t like the look but I don’t think the idea on this thread that people with them struggle with addiction or untreated mental health issues or that they are trashy or dumb is accurate. I’m a swimmer and plenty of people in the happy, healthy and wealthy category have them, even if they aren’t visible when they are dressed at work.

Imo the idea that only a “rough” crowd has them is old fashioned[/quote]

This is correct.  In fact, it was only a brief time in western culture history where tattoos were considered low class (on sailors or bikers, etc).  That is really limited to the early 20th century in America.

Before that, tattoos in cultures throughout the world were considered noble and some styles reserved for leaders or royalty.  Tribal tattoos have important cultural meanings to many.

[b]Heck, the royal family in England has a history of tattoos! [/b] Thankfully, we're coming out of that brief period where tattoos were considered low-class in American culture and returning to a period where the artwork and self-expression is celebrated.  [/quote]

Well that's settled then. Tattoos are indeed chavvy.[/quote]
