You resurrected a long-dead thread to share this?? How did you even find it? Did you Google “are millennials judging my tattoos?”😂🤣😂
Your medical practice must not be doing too well with that kind of time...

Tattoos are certainly more common and accepted than 20 years ago. But they still carry some stigma. They're still far less common among the educated UMC circles I grew up with and still live/work with. Some people do have tattoos, but it's not on the scale or prevalence as among other socio-economic groups. And another key divider is the kind of tattoo you have. The type of tattoo you have and its visibility carries far more stigma than whether you have a tattoo or not.
I won't deny I don't care for tattoos and think them silly and it does affect my perception of the person who has a tattoo. I remember the time I saw a young girl walking down the street with a tattoo of a coffee cup on her arm. A coffee cup!? But at the same time it wouldn't affect how I treat you or judge you.
And I'm also going to admit this despite the controversy it will probably invoke in some of you, but living in an urban area with plenty of tattooed younger people, there is significant relationship between the natural attractiveness of a woman and the lower likelihood that she has a tattoo. So many of the heavier and not so attractive young women have tattoos, and bigger and multiple tattoos at that.
I find this to be true. Tattoos that are visible under regular clothing (short or long sleeve shirts, or knee length skirts) to be distracting and unprofessional, a lot of tattoos can be done very well and very artistic. Most people who are good looking don't bother to tattoo where others will see it during the workday; they also don't tend to get heavily pierced either.
I've observed that there is greater acceptance of tattoos, but most people who have visible tattoos tend to be less attractive and use the tattoos to get attention.

I’m an older millennial (37). No tattoos but I have several friends that have at least one. Not that we are all in late 30s, I can say, at least the women, no one loves their tattoos anymore

We're happy to have you treat us, we just judge your appearance.
Sounds like you’re a really great human.
Not really. I wouldn’t call a dude trolling dcum beauty forum digging up old threads on tattoos and professing his income as justification for poor taste a really great human.

The number of people I know with tattoos in non visible areas that run in the 7 figure, big law crowd is so much higher than probably most would think. You don't see them. But when they hit the beach with their true friends you see them.
That’s the thing. Anyone who actually indulges this know to hide it and not wear one on their face or wrist. You can’t hide that. Anyone with a professional job UMC will not have this. It becomes a socioeconomic thing. Who on Martha’s Vineyard is full of tattoos. Oh yeah the waiters making “6 figures” that the PP mentioned. It’s like a marking for being a servant. Yes there are the occasional new money billionaires but that’s not common. Hollywood continues to debase society and young people by featuring people with face tattoos as normal. Nope. Still trashy and limiting.
You’re totally off base here. Tech, medicine, law... most of my friend group above 500k and you’d be shocked to see what is underneath the suits. You’d also be shocked at the casual use of legal recreational drugs. Problem is DC area is all about status and most of you raised here are just way too simple and I evolved to fathom that someone’s choices with their own body have zero to do with you.

Millennial- none of my close friends have tattoos. I don't see the appeal.

I know so many with regrettable tattoos. My favorite is the very pro-gay and trans rights person who got a Harry Potter tattoo long ago... and then decided J.K Rowling is a terrible anti-trans bigot.

I only think certain tattoos are trashy. For example, when white people get sanskrit, kanji, chinese characters as tattoos. Otherwise, I think tattoos can be beautiful.
