No tattoos on me.
In the era of my youth and as a former prosecutor the only people I saw with tattoos were ex-cons, fair/circus workers, bikers, strippers or military vets. I didn't want to be like the first four.
Perry It's been a while I guess. My wife has 2, got them at 50. My son has one on his left bicep. He also has a lip piercing and is in a hard rock band. One of the nicest people I know and everyone likes him. A really hard worker and is keeping them off his lower arms in consideration of the future when the music thing ends. I and my other two sons have no tats. Not our bag but you never know.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
Stupid always finds a way.

Met a guy some years back who picked up tattooing as a bartering skill while he was in prison.
He continued to freelance tattoo young folks he worked with for extra cash after he was released on parole. Several would usually crash at his house on the weekends and get drunk and/or get high, and wind up getting a new tattoo on the cheap. From the looks of the tatts he did on himself and a few I saw he did on others, he was a fair artist but not what I would call good.
He said other than ink he didn't have the money to buy professional equipment so he just whipped together another makeshift tattoo gun like he used in prison from a ball point pen case, cassette tape player motor and guitar string and ordinary rubbing alcohol to sterilize his gun between customers.
Had to wonder about the likelihood of blood-borne diseases being transmitted between his customers.

Anybody else wondering what sort of hardware and what kind of tattoos lie under that fabric? In any case, I'm sure it is very tasteful... John

Just about everyone, it seems, has tattoos today.
� Who here does not have at least one tattoo?
� Are tattoos a passing fad, or will they always be culturally ordinary? I have none. I would get one but I can't think of anything I really want to say that there's no chance I'd change my mind about. They already have always been culturally ordinary ... just not in our particular culture. They'll always be with us though the frequency will vary up and down over time. Tom

12 years in the Navy - there wasn't enough booze to make me want a tattoo.
40 years later I know I was right.

In fact its got to the point where I notice youngsters who don't have them!
None for me though..

None and don't care for them. Especially unappealing on women. I guess I can understand a small one to commemorate some special life event but large visible tats just scream out "I have a pitiful need for attention".

+1 regarding the pitiful need for attention, most are too dumb to figure out that attention comes with having done something worthwhile with their lives. Getting a tattoo and/or piercing isn't an accomplishment.
