Re: Sailors getting a tattoo when they travel to different ports.

Tattoos on sailors were a sign of pride of where they traveled but also to help identify their bodies.

I agree with you. Even worse are face piercings.

OK...... here goes.

What you like or disfavor doesn’t matter.

What’s in style is what matters and beards are apparently in style

For my generation of old men, shaving two or three times a week is enough

When I leave the gym, I have to hold the steering wheel firmly to be sure it doesn’t inadvertently take me to a tattoo parlor.

Yup...IMO weird piercings (meaning anything but piercings on a woman’s ear) make my skin crawl.And that includes piercing on men *and* women.

Tattoos are a hard stop for me on women. I hate seeing all these pretty young gals disfiguring themselves with tattoos.

“No Regerts?” We’ll see.

” the cultural changes in the U.S. over the generations.”

Seems like in earlier years people wanted to be seen as clean, well dressed, etc. Today, many ordinary people want to be seen as informal, cool, sloppy, outlaw-ish, even thuggish - the opposite of dignified.

Teenagers pay extra to get jeans with ripped knees.

Yankees have always allowed mustaches, just not beards or hair below the collar. Mattingly, Goose, Munson, Sparky Lyle, Reggie, all had mustaches. Mustaches fell out of favor the last several decades but were never banned by George.

Yup...of course you'll find tats on plug ugly lesbians. But,sadly,you also find them on women who otherwise would be gorgeous. IMO a gorgeous woman with a visible tattoo becomes ugly.

Several of us went out one Saturday night and one or two of the guys said "hey,let's get a tattoo". So we went to a parlor and two of them got one.They were telling me that I should get one.I didn't want to so I made the excuse that I didn't have any money. They almost convinced me...but I'm glad they didn't.

I have yet to see a really good reason for getting a tatoo other than peer pressure and a desire to go along with the crowd.
