I would also like to add that I was horrified when I first saw the tattoo trend on women and young women. Tattoos on girls in the before the late 90’s was a sign that they were trash. Now everyone, including my daughter (near heart attack on my part) has them.

I still think they are trashy. I will never change my mind about that.

Agree with you— tats on a woman and even gawdy ones on a man are trashy IMO. Bigtime turnoff.

My mom, bless her heart, talked me out of a “small, tasteful tattoo” when I was a moronic 21 year old by saying one sentence. “It doesn’t matter where you get it, eventually your skin will sag and so will the tattoo.”

I’ve had six children, so very grateful I didn’t get a tattoo near my hip like I wanted to. Thanks Mom!!

You and I have the same opinion on tatts, especially on women.
I was equally horrified to learn my daughter had 2 tatts. They are both on places that are covered by clothing.

Lucky for her that they are hidden Don't know what I would have done if they were visible.

I would generally agree with you. However, my daughter died several years ago. When her son (my grandson) turned 18 the first thing he did was go get a tat of a cross on his back bearing the name of his mom. He rarely goes shirtless and I know one of the reasons he did it was because his dad told him not to. Parents were divorced and he did it not only to honor his mom but in a show of defiance to his dad.

The question is this. What will those tattoos look like when the taut skin wrinkles and the tattoo is no longer identifiable.
