[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IME almost everyone I know has a tattoo who is under 50 (and plenty above). Or like 90% of people who are not very religious, and the number is lower on average for Jewish people, even not terribly religious.

But a LOT. There's a real generational divide. It was much more of a class/culture marker before the mid-late 1990s. I am 43, and people my age-- and especially younger-- seem overwhelmingly to have tattoos. But DH is 51, and from the same area (DMV) and only maybe 20-30% of his friends have tattoos. In my extended family including all descendants of great-grandparents, my parents' generation (mostly born <1965) has one or two members with tattoos. My generation (about 1965-1990) is like 70% tattooed.

My point being-- it's hard to generalize with such overwhelming numbers. [/quote]

I agree. My parents (mid 60s) don’t have tattoos and I think view them in a certain negative light. I’m mid 30s and it seems like everyone has one. Some obvious, but many with one or two small ones on their ankle or ribcage or whatever. I would definitely not avoid dating or befriending people with tattoos as I’d have a very limited pool of people to socialize with!

I don’t generally like them but I hardly notice small ones anymore they are so common. [/quote]
