I don't think it's a "fad."  Haven't people been getting tattoos for hundreds of years?

[/quote]

Yes they have been aroung a longggg time by other civilizations, i have no idea why some people think this is s new fad.[/quote]

Because as recently as thirty years ago, military vets and "toughs," as my dad would say, were the only regular American people who got tattoos. Yes, tattoos have very long tribal traditions in various places around the world, [b]but not so much for middle class Americans.[/b] You know that. You're playing dumb.[/quote]

No, for middle class Americans, it's a different rite of passage.  They are often done when the person is in college or in young adulthood. It's a symbol of the person taking control of his or her own body and doing what he/she wants with it. You're old enough that you can get a tattoo without your parents' permission. You are old enough to sign your own waiver. You are old enough to pay for it yourself. You get to choose your own art and artist.

[b]Sorry that you don't find that meaningful.[/b] [/quote]

A) yeah, I don't. I don't care, because that's not meaningful. My god, make a doctor's appointment. Graduate. Sign a loan or a lease - these are all more meaningful and mature than having ink pushed into your skin with a needle. B) none of your rant answers the fact that for most Americans, tattoos were unacceptable until fairly recently, let alone the disgustingly visible and meaningless neck, chest and sleeve tattoos that proliferate today.[/quote]

You sound old. [/quote]

You sound low class.

Exactly what I was talking about.  Calling someone low class based on body art. 
I went to an art show last night, of fantastic realism. Artists from Europe and US were there. The work was exquisite and inspiring.  Very beautiful.  
Many of the artists had visible body art. But oh wait, they are just low class trailer trash, right? [/quote]

Most DCUM posters are office drones. They don't have the freedom to choose sandals over flats for work, much less body art.  The rest are SAHMs who desperately need to keep up appearances.  [/quote]
