Agreed 100 percent. By today’s standards, I am a rebel, with not one speck of ink on my middle-aged body. Not even from my military service.
My parents, my mother in particular, taught me that only low-class people get tattoos. I have never had any reason to question their wisdom.
Today, tattoos have become one of the worst symptoms of a herd-like popular culture.
My father was in the Navy in WWII, then worked his way up to an employment / HR director at a large industrial firm in the 60's and 70's
For him, tattoos were something only drunken sailors did while on leave in Manila. He always asked the workers with tattoos interviewing for jobs why they got the tattoo they did. He didn't hide the fact to them he thought it was a negative for their job application. Its a good thing he retired long ago (and passed away as well). His views would not be welcome in the present day and age.
