It seems tramp stamps whent out of fashion about ten years ago.

Don’t see them on women under 30.

Many 30-45 years old have had them removed by laser.

Don’t see them on women under 30.

Full disclosure: I am totally of the age when I qualify to join the demented second-childhood brigade. I still have my full faculties, although I don't feel the need to apologize for senior moments, since I see constant signs of the same affliction in people thirty years my juniors.

I don't think it's any of my business what other people do; I just know what my attitude is towards people of any age with visible tattoos. I just give them extra personal space when out in public, and hope none of my children pick a spouse with the juvenile affectation.

I would rather not have any such as friends, and at work or social settings I simply avoid them.

The Olympics have provided a rude awakening about the "coolness" of the decision to sport "tramp stamps" and the realization that, however much the participants exhibit the adult disciplines of dedication, effort and achievement that I could never achieve in sports, they remain emotional children. The behavior behind the scenes which has been showcased more than usual this Olympic year simply underscores the dark underside of this tiny cross-section of worldwide society.

I don't have to like it, but I don't feel the need to either defend my attitude, nor to express even the mildest form of "disapproval."

It is what it is. We have much more serious socially and politically fatal tendencies to deal with. And they become increasingly pressing with each passing day. The "tramp stamp" affliction drifting into old age is a just a mild surprise.
