Tattooed American Women

Posted on 10/06/2013 2:49:36 AM PDT by AlexW

While I have not been in America for almost ten years, I do watch American TV via my G-sat. My most popular channel is the History Channel. What shocks and amazes me is that most all of the women on all of the programs are slathered with Tattoos. Is this a new phenomena in America? Have women degraded themselves to such an extent? Some may think it cool. I think it is disgusting.

When grunge music started getting noticed outside of Seattle and then Allen Iverson joined the NBA, tattoos became popular again with young people and it’s continued. So it’s been a litle over 20 years that tattoos have come back in vogue with some people.

They seem to be going out of style here. Five years ago the young were all tatting.

Now the lower classes still tat but middles and uppers do not unless they are drama queens (male or female)

That’s a great idea. In fact, I’m kind of amazed such a thing doesn’t already exist. There could be 1, 5, and 10 year options. Or maybe they could be permanent until you took a pill which would completely erase them.

I see women with tats everywhere I go. Not just young women but women older than me. Tats on their legs, arms, back, chest, you name it. Some are like small butterflies but some are massive detailed things that I have no idea what they are.

Have no idea what this is about and why so many women are getting them but yes I think it looks trashy.

Thanks, FMJ.

Pretty interesting thread. Heh, some poster was upset we were discussing tats and piercings when there are so many far more important things to talk about...gotta be able to multitask nowadays...:)

Maybe it's the stopped clock thing, or maybe the blizzard that hit Wyoming a few days back is hitting Hell today, but I actually agree with Alex on this. I don't like tats or excessive piercings on women, and I think American men are looking more and more slovenly with each passing year (though admittedly, I can slob out with the best of them). I particularly dislike the pierced nose, eyebrow and lip look, and earlobe gauges -- those rings that kids are putting inside their ear lobes to give them a huge gaping hole -- really creep me out.

"Dog friends, he's still the same - Alex is a POS. That is my opinion, your mileage may vary."

Yes, ma'am...you're right, but again, I refer to the stopped clock being right twice a day.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Actually, since it is a prominent visual manifestation of our social decline, it is an “important” topic.
