I have a friend whose son (22) is heavily tattooed. He's just a spoiled brat who has never had any adversity in life, unless you count being homeschooled and not getting into the college of his first choice. Definitely no trauma or drugs.

No one is trying to ban tattoos here. Obviously anyone is free to get one and I'm free to have my own thoughts about it.

Don’t disagree…BUT: that’s true only if he’s pretty buff / no belly. And If he’s younger than 45 or so. On an older man they’re just silly looking

Don’t think anyone is saying they should be illegal, they’re just ugly to a lot of folks and permanent. It’s just tragic to see people do that to themselves as part of some stupid fad.

The issue is that tattoos are permanent and lots of people get them when young. Almost everyone’s personality changes as they get older and styles/trends change.

People are free to get tattoos. That doesn’t mean I have to like them.

I have two that I got almost 30 years ago! Both were impulsive. Thankfully, I had the foresight to get them in places you can't see (hip area). My teen daughter doesn't like them because she thinks they're a millennial thing.

And I know I'm being ridiculous, but on women I just think they look terrible. Like wow, you tainted your beautiful soft skin for THAT? Now you look like you need to talk a shower. I'm a woman, and I know I'm being sexist. Wish I could get over this.


Disagree. At least for certain tattoos.

DH here.

It looks great when a woman has a tattoo across the small of her back. And then she wears a top that just a little too small, so you can only partially see there’s a tattoo there. Sexy!

And the one needs to be small and in a discrete spot.
