Will sleeve tattoos be the new tribal/barbwire tattoos in 15 years?

Every 5th person has one now, and more and more women. It seems like we've reached critical mass.

What say the O-T, will we look back on it and (unfairly) judge them?

OT is obsessed with other people's tattoos.

It will become counter-culture to not have any tattoos.

Not an anti-tattoo guy and people are free to do what they want with their body but I can't understand the doodle pad style of tattoos that seems pretty popular.

Neck and face tattoos are edgy now.

This is where I am. I don't have any, but I can admire the ones that are real works of art. There are so many bad ones, though.

I think about stuff I did/said/etc. 2 years ago and cringe. And I'm not talking about my worst moments, just everyday things that in retrospect are lame. Probably like 90% of my posts on here, for example.

I can't imagine having things I thought were cool 5, 10, 20 years ago permanently written on myself

That’s why I only tat my genitals. Much less shame when it’s just the wife and I seeing my barbed wire.

When? I feel like we're already 3 decades into everyone having them.

They've been an "edgy" means of identifying the trash for several decades

At least they used to get the community aspect of being part of a tribe

They already are. I’m looking at a guy with one at an upscale gym pool. Gross.

Seems that all criminals don't have neck and face tattoos but all that have neck and face tattoos are criminals.

I unfairly judge them now. tats are cliche and trashy. To each their own and all. But I can still judge the individual harshly for their individual trashy choices.

It's just a outward sign of mental illness and poor decision making skills. Obesity is another one.

I have a plastic surgeon friend of mine who’s been working on a minimal pain free technique for that for years

Who cares. If you want tats, get them. If you dont, dont.

My last few years in the military before retirement, I thought i was one of the few Combat Arms enlisted guys that wasn't sleeved out. Im glad I never went through that phase, but who cares. As long as they can be covered in a long sleeve shirt and pants, no big deal.
