A long time ago when I was in the Navy, I remember being one of a few without a tattoo. But I knew then and know now a lot of people of both sexes who have them, including my daughter. It's fairly common though probably not in Joe's circle:
"Age also matters when it comes to tattoo popularity. 40% of those under the age of 35 had at least one tattoo, according to the survey. This data proves that tattoos are much more trendy among younger Americans.
Though they don’t flaunt them as much, perhaps, the older generation also have tattoos. 36% of those between 35 and 54 had at least one piece of body art. However, over the age of 54, the numbers drop off. Only 16% of Americans over that age have a tattoo. " https://authoritytattoo.com/how-many-americans-have-tattoos/
@mott-the-hoople saidThat's interesting.
tattoos are like drugs…people do not like themselves as they are…trying to escape
If you are planning a life in the penal system they are a must have.
I see tattoo seekers as people that want the tattoo to speak for them because they have low self-esteem.
This notion is buttressed by the higher percentage of poor people, drug addled people etc that have tats.
It's like saying - "Hey, aren't my tats great!", because they can't strut their own stuff.
I think our opinions are congruent.
@shavixmir saidMaybe you're adopted.
Lots of people I know have tattoos.
It’s very common here in the Netherlands.
Funnily enough, my family and close friends… nobody has a tattoo. And not one of them smokes or uses marijuana either…
Really strange, coming to think of it.
@wajoma saidYou know she's Māori, right?

What you see here is not a WWF wrestler but a NZ politician, unfortunately there is trend for the scribble dribble chin tattoo occurring in NZ.
Sometimes a man has urges and if you're in outback australia lining up a gin but having trouble with the mechanics of satisfying that urge, whip out a pic ...[text shortened]... ahuta and think 'At least what's in front of me is not as bad as that thing." and you're good to go.
Your racial intolerance is disgusting.
@averagejoe1 saidAbout half the people I know have at least one. Among the people I deal with in a normal day, that number goes up dramatically.
Golly, Suzianne. Just a friendly enlightening conversation. Why be ugly to me? Maybe better to just say nothing if you have nothing to add?
What if I had asked 'does anyone know anyone who works at a post office'.
You are really loaded for bear, day in, day out. Even Sonhouse wrote a nice response.
Do you know anyone with a tattoo. You don't have to answer.
I have none, but I am thinking of getting a small one either above my ankle or on my shoulder blade. It's not one of my major goals in life, though, so who knows if I'll ever do it.
@earl-of-trumps saidMaybe you should espouse this theory to a locker room of MMA fighters or professional boxers and see how it goes.
That's interesting.
