"I love bugs," Marciano, 23, says. "I think they're kind of overlooked." In about 20 minutes, with dots on its back and a bit of rusty orange, a small ladybug takes its place on her elbow.
Marciano is part of a trend; 38 percent of millennials have at least one tattoo,according to the Pew Research Center, and 23 percent have a piercing somewhere other than an earlobe. That compares to just 6 percent of boomers with tattoos, and 1 percent with other piercings.

Would you allow your teen to get a tattoo?
When they move out and they pay for it and I never have to see it. Sure.
ReplyDeleteThere use to be something exotic about Tattoos. You had been a Sailor or a biker maybe a stripper or a jail bird. Now every common slob has them. I see homeless young people all the time covered with then and wonder if they wish they had that money now or if they could pawn them.
ReplyDeleteNothing uglier than a woman with a tattoo that's grown fat. The image becomes totally out of proportion.

ReplyDeleteI find Tattoos for lack of a better word...disturbing. I personally would not deform my body intentionally, and waste that kind of $$ to do it..
ReplyDeleteSome people don't like clowns. I do not like seeing tattoos on people.
Tattoos and the lifestyle tattoos brought with them, broke up a relationship I had. Everything was great, until her daughter was around. She got her mother to get a tattoo like ones she had. Then back to going to bars, darts, pool rooms when I was not around.
I left. That's their lifestyle. Not mine. And spending that kind of $$ when they had little. I don't get it.
Instead of getting a gym membership big fat people get a tattoo.Seriously,400 lb women are walking around with tattoos on their legs thinking it takes everyone's attention off of their fat ass.

ReplyDeleteBuy your daughter some nice Jewelry. It's a better investment. Tattoos are worthless as soon as you walk out of the shop.
ReplyDeleteWhen I decide that wearing the same T-shirt every day for the rest of my life is a good idea, I'll get a tattoo for bathing purposes.
ReplyDeleteSo far, for 63 years, that hasn't happened yet!
Teens - no.
ReplyDeleteFor my kids, once an adult - if my advice wasn't heard while growing up, well tis your body not mine! You've got to live with it and I will NOT say a word about it! Little arguments break families up and I will not let that happen!
