Now i think of it, this body mutilation thing seems to have really taken of sometime during Gen-X and really going now with the useless millennials.

Tattoos used to be mostly hidden other than some arm stuff on old sailor types.

The fabric of America is woven with the threads of machismo for men and the dainty pedestal for women.

We've been the braggarts of the planet forever and about as closed minded to diversity as any one culture CAN be .... until the 60's.

THAT'S when the language was infiltrated, not with anything new, but with a new exposure.

I had the HAIR album almost memorized, like a Sunday school star pupil and believe me .... it was all about using the English language as outrageously as possible.

F and MF became household words back then and the public schools became populated with "those that can't. teach"

Ink was for convicts , mostly navy or marines and bikers.

Now skinny effete hipsters ink up or chubby millennials and Xers trying to butch up

I find it silly but it’s their business

I don’t like an abundance of them on women
