Got my tattoos while in the Army each signifying a place that I was stationed at or visited...even a person. Sometimes I regret having them-8 in total- but each one is a significant memory to me.

You should worry about OPs opinion. He's special!

because getting a tattoo is cool and edgy and makes you stand out because not everyone does it........ um ooops

i guess they forgot being special and edgy means you are not doing what everyone else does so you are all the same covered in cartoon looking stupidity

As I get older I’ve made an observation - your own happiness is directly associated with your ability to mind your business. And the stricter your view of what is your business, the happier you can be. Try it.

Actually not at all. Cops and military are covered in them, and I understand some of them may fall into that category.

I’m in classes at the Y with mostly doctors or med students from LSUS and they are no exception.

My arms are completely covered in black and gray Gustave Doré inspired art.

Next will be my back and then chest and stomach. Them maybe my head covering where my hair lives.

Well according to a majority of the replies, you're a piece of trash.

Welcome to the trash club.

It’s sad, I’ve known too many girls who marred themselves with unfortunate tattoos. And these were smart girls.

One was especially sweet, but I knew I could never take her to family events because she would be treated cruelly by the women.

All the attractive young girls getting ink all over themselves.....They're all gonna look like 70s biker chick passarounds when they're 55....

But yeah- show the world how expressive you are. It'll be cool.

For the time being.

I see way too many good looking women with HIDEOUS ugly arse tattoos. I was in Destin this summer and it was nothing but a bunch of attractive women covered in ink. Not one tattoo was tasteful.



It's odd you are a huge pro wrestling fan but take such offense to trashy things like tattoos

Tattoos in general are just a permanent sign to the world that says “I make bad decisions”. There are exceptions but they are few and far between.

We were staying a resort in St Lucia, hanging out the pool having a drink .

we were celebrating our 20th, most were there on their honeymoon but not all

we met people from California in their 60's ...really nice Republicans too... no tats, just big drinkers and story tellers...

well, I thought it was a really nice resort in St. Lucia...

but it was all inclusive, so maybe that made it trashy...?

didn't feel that way, just couldn't believe the sea of tats

It is an interesting phenomenon. Regardless of which side of the needle you stand on the increasing trend in obvious. Certainly, there are a multitude of reasons for this by there should be some main identifiable patterns.

Rebellion?
Confused non conformists?
desire of inclusion?
Bandwagoning?
A cultural transition of self expression from deeds and spoken words to physical labeling?
some degree of physical enjoyment?
Simply Fashion?
