Have never understood the rationale behind getting tattoos.

90% of which are of patheticly bad quality.


Want to REALLY be different these days ?


Don't get a tattoo.

Geeky young folks everywhere just seem to think they have to have a tatoo for some reason. It adds nothing.

---

Its not just geeks...its everyone.

I went to my first college spring break in Florida in the mid 2000s

And very few out on the beach among thousands of 20 year olds had tattoos....a few girls had the lower back "tramp stamp" thing going on. But it was rare and easy to cover up. A few guys with the tribal tat thing on the arm.

Last year the wife and I were in Florida and every single 20 year old (guy or girl) we saw had a tattoo.

And like multiple tattoos at that and they were all over the body....and much bigger than they used to be.

Its been a big cultural transition and normalization over the past 15 years or so

Oh, I know it's everybody. I consider someone so easily influence by popular culture a geek. Though I know in the classic sense of the word they aren't geeks. Everybody wants so bad to be cool today. What happened to just being yourself.

---

Remember when being yourself was cool?? When did being "cool" in America turn to following? Think about it.

McQueen, the king of cool in the 60's, being yourself and not caring was the definition of cool. Finding your own way, being independent, and being in shape was the path... Sometime, I am not sure when, it changed.

I would guess that most people who have Tattoos couldnt give a **** that some ornery old Conservatives dont like them, in fact, i imagine they would probably be quite happy about it
