* 36% of Americans between the age of 18 and 29 have at least one tattoo.

* 30% of all college graduates in United States have tattoos.

* In the United States 11% of those that have tattoos are from 50 to 64 years old. (WTF)

* United States citizens spend 1.65 billion dollars a year on tattoos.

* 32% of people with tattoos claim that they are addicted to ink.

I’m a tattoo virgin, and don’t plan on getting deflowered anytime soon, but it sure does seem like these numbers are low where I live in south Louisiana to what i see all around me, especially in my own age group who are getting tatted up like it’s going out of style, and these are people who were not raised with that. In any case, it’s clear America is obsessed with the ink, so much that I wonder if it’s going to be a real abnormality to see someone without ink on their body in 50 to 20 years from now. Are face and neck tats going to be all the rage in the future?

If you want a tattoo, you can get one.

If you don't want a tattoo, you don't have to get one.

What's the problem I'm missing?

That's because you live in a trashy place.

But you called it a problem.

What exactly is the harm or issue you have with it?

Sure but you can say this about a lot of things. That’s just a personal opinion about Tats.

In what the ways does that tattoo effect anyone else besides their own life? That’s what I would consider a problem.

I don’t have an issue with it on a personal level if that’s what you want to do, but it isn’t a real turn on either. Just a conversation to see what people think of this phenomenon really, especially since it’s everywhere you look these days, and it’s pretty new to our society

Other cheek needs either a big black guy’s hand or a chick’s hand, with tats of course
