People who impulsively get designs on their body have been proven to be most likely to impulsively get designs on their body. Water, still wet, etc.
Can confirm....
So many “poor me poor people” I know bitch about not making enough money in the same conversation show off their 500buck new ink....

Tattoo - The Who
[Verse 1]
Me and my brother were talking to each other
About what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn’t understand
[Bridge]
Our old man didn’t like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
[Verse 2]
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
[Pre-Chorus]
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I’m a man now, thanks to you
[Chorus]
I expect I’ll regret you
But the skin graft man won’t get you
You’ll be there when I die
Tattoo
[Verse 3]
My dad beat me because mine said “Mother”
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
[Pre-Chorus]
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We’ve a long time together, me and you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Now I’m older, I’m tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you
Good luck on getting a Top Secret Clearance in the 1960/70’s with tats.

I saw a middle age woman the other day with a full upper arm tat of a Care Bear riding a Unicorn.
What does that even mean?
My very handsome nephew came home from Winter semester college last year with a full sleeve. No previous tat’s.
My SIL was so upset she almost became nauseated and my brother is still shaking his head.
The only good thing is the other siblings after seeing it now have no interest in tats.
And they spent how much money to find this out?.....................
Most people I know who are covered with tattoos are democrats, bikers being the exception. Most of them are also really flakey. So, I’m not surprised that they would make reckless, impulsive and add irrational decisions.
Another study costing a bunch of money to tell us something everyone on the planet already knew.
Want really offend a young person who’s considering a tattoo? Tell them that it may cost a few more dollars but a really good artist can take or make most images as a temporary tattoo so they can “test drive” it. If they don’t like it then they have the option of letting it wash off rather than painful laser removal later. They acted like I was trying to talk them out of the whole idea which I wasn’t. I guess they were afraid that if they thought about it too much or had the option of turning back they wouldn’t go through with it.
Blue Collar Logic: The Case Against Tattoos-Part 1
Blue Collar Logic: The Case Against Tattoos-Part 2
I judge people on an individual basis when that is possible, and I withhold judgement on people until I have had a chance to interact with them, without judging them on their appearance whenever that is possible.
For me, it isn't possible when I see someone with tattoos on their face, neck, and head. I make immediate judgments there simply because it is a visceral type of thing to see them in those locations.
I don't judge people based on impressions of their height, weight, scars, or attractiveness, though I very much do judge people on things they have control of...their clothes, hair styles, cleanliness, or...tattoos. These are things that people make conscious choices in, and if someone is a dirtball, has their hair dyed green, wears inappropriate or damaged clothes in situations they shouldn't, or has tattoos on their head, face, or neck, I do make judgments on that.
I will keep an open mind until I know someone or interact with them, but I do have first impressions, and those things don't make a positive one with me.
Me: “Why did you decide to get a Tasmanian Devil tattoo?”
Friend’s little brother:”I don’t actually remember deciding to get any tattoo.”
cripes...I remember when women wearing “open toed” shoes were slutty...
Tattoo...a permanent reminder of a passing fad, gotten by those who want to express their individuality by doing the same thing as everyone else.
Well, yes. I suspect almost all of us have thought that all along. When I was young tattoos were usually applied to drunk men who got them on dares and just because they had some alcoholic fantasies in their heads. Sailors got them because that has been a seafaring tradition since the South Seas Islands were discovered and visited.
