You are quite correct. Tattooes do not age well. Imagine an elderly woman with sagging boobs and a tattoo on that. I shudder to think of it. Tattooes fade on ageing skin. They do not hold up well. It is like looking at an older person with long hair and a pony tail. Simply ridiculous.
I don't find that ridiculous.
Then you want to avoid Vermont like the plague...nude beaches, naked bike races in the frickin' State Capitol, even a town or two where you can walk around in the altogether. Think Rosa DiLauro or Pelosi sans clothing.
Bring a vomit bag. Or two.
