I'm old enough to remember that unless you were military, tattoos were trashy - across the board. The reason the hippy generation never went for tattoos was because they were associated with bikers (racist and violent thugs) and military (Vietnam!).

For the longest time I thought tattoos trashy. Since they've become very popular in the past decade my views have moderated somewhat.

Most trashy people seem to have tattoos. Which doesn't help the perception. But plenty of non-trashy people now have tattoos and there does seem to be a clear divide between the types of tattoos. And I've seen gorgeous tattoos that seemed to fit very well with the person.

I still find it ironic that tattoos were meant to be symbols of individuality but in reality are nothing more than another form of lemming behavior. Most people get tattoos because they're influenced by their peers.

I think we've hit peak tattoo. The generations that went big for tattoos are now getting older - and fatter and uglier - and guess what, so are their tattoos! The current generation of kids will see their parents' ugly, stretched and faded tattoos and say no thank you.

To conclude: I no longer think twice when I see a tattoo on anyone.

I remember when people were racist and hated the "gays"... dont things like this evolve and become more accepted? It's so stupid to label someone as trashy because you remember it being that way when you were young. How ignorant. [/quote]

Better analogy about how things evolve: kids who saw and smelled their parents’ cofarettes and said “no thanks.”  Or they vape. [/quote]
