Men, I understand....Women, I don't get it!
?....who convinced them this was attractive?”
They started gaining popularity in the early-mid seventies. In about ‘72 when I was 14 we started noticing them at the beach. Little devil with a pitchfork, flower (rose), butterfly was about the entire range. Many were visible only in a bikini but most were covered even by a bikini. I heard our girlfriends discussing them once and the final consensus was: “Some are cute but you can’t get rid of them once you have one...?” A few years after that Cher got a few and went to her publicist and THAT is when the popularity explosion occurred.
Seems that most of the tattooed women are trying to distract you from seeing they are fat and ugly.
Sort of like the Hippy era nude beaches, the ones baring all were the ones who most needed to cover it up.
