    You're welcome. I'm sure your tatts have great personal meaning.

     

    I do know there are several topics to avoid in polite company*, but since this Forum isn't polite company, one can tread into taboo territory. If people are truly honest, I don't think most tatted up to reach the Maslow hierarchy of self-actualization, but because they thought it would make them look 'bad' and 'different' (albeit like everyone else). The fact that tatts always existed, but suddenly became mainstream, screams fad....and fads pass. To each his or her own, but as humans we cannot help but have an opinion. I cannot help but think they look silly. Just my opinion, of course. SImilarly, I cannot train my mind and convince myself the "old geezer" with the fresh tatts got them because they have special meaning. I suspect, and would even bet, that when sitting in the chair getting inked, the guy was telling himself 'the babes are going to get weak in the knees when they see me with this; their loins are going to quiver'.

     

    *politics, religion, smoking, circumcision, tatts

    What a brilliant analysis;

    papa stands in awe.

    & your ability to know what other people are thinking...

    a true talent.

    Yes. Canaries in the coal mine. Tatts began with the youth, and then "old geezers" decided Tatts are Babe Magnets. As youth are wont to rebel, perhaps this nascent lack of tatting is youth rebelling against their (great) grandparents.

     

    Watch this space. In 5 years long sleeve shirts and visible laser scars might be the norm, as folks will feel embarrassment they succumbed to the passing fad. Tatts will go back to being the purview of drunk sailors and members of motorcycle gangs.

     

    And Midlife Crisis will go back to a Porsche, not a Maori Warrior tatt on flabby, wrinkled skin on a guy who looks 8 months pregnant.

    Thank you for your comments.

    You are so wise.!
