No, and my wife and I have both commented several times that it feels like we're the youngest remaining people for whom tattoos were stigmatized. (Not that they should have been stigmatized, just that they sort of were.)

Youngest son and I got one when he turned 18 after we went through 3 tough high school years after wife/mother left us. I got a baseball player swinging a bat w/ EKG lines extending from his feet with the names of both of my boys in script underneath it (who played/play baseball in HS and college) on the underside of my right wrist. Maybe 2"X2".
He got "Que Sera Sera" on the back of his left forearm (always the arm that you don't throw with for some reason).

wife has four small tatoos
- interwoven vines in the shape of a cross on right shoulder
- pink orchid on left ankle
- permanent eyeliner on both eyes
I just thought "I like that she doesn't wear much makeup...but man her eyeliner game is on point" lol

I wouldn’t think this is the demographic for tattoos. Maybe a poll of those with grown children. Do they have tatoos?

None here.
Surprised by the results thus far. Seems like everyone has one just looking around IRL.

Went to a small family gathering last night. Tattoos came up in discussion. Only 2 of the 10 adults had them.

i came home from college my freshman year with an ear ring....... Dad was NOT happy .... fem
When I lost my daughter, getting a tattoo of her beautiful face was one of the most healing moments for me. I know you also lost your boy. Did you ever think about getting a memorial of him tattooed?

No.
I have thought about it. Would want something of significance to me. pondered heritage or family.

Or in some cases a work of art on a Yugo.?Why would I ruin a Picasso by throwing more paint on it?

Nope. Unlike wine, tattoos don't get better with age

I was headed to a tattoo parlor back when I was 21 (had a Phoenix drawn up and ready) but chose to go somewhere else that day. A few months later I started dating a girl who hates tattoos. I ended up marrying her so still no. I’m not sure if I’d have gotten one if I didn’t marry her but i don’t really want one now anyway.

Never really thought about it. Not really my style, so probably wouldn't consider it.
Where is your tattoo?

This would be a situation I would look into getting something..

I have well over 100 hours worth. Most of mine are hyper detailed/photorealistic.
Just got one last week.

I’m the opposite. I wear long sleeves most of the time.
I would never consider getting a tattoo on my hand, neck or face.

A guy I went to school with got his head tattooed where he went bald on top so it looks like he has a young man’s hairline in the front and back. Looks like a buzz cut.

Good tattoos done by a pro don’t look like a blob after 20 or even 50 years. Unless you’re in direct sun for most of those years but so does the rest of you. Because I cover mine and use lotion, mine look damn close if not exactly the way they did 10-25 years ago.
Most tattoos look like crap because people just get random stuff and/a lot of people who get tattoos really don’t GAF.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that but it isn’t for me. I have a rule. If I think of an idea for a tattoo I wait at least a year. I write it down, take a picture, whatever. If I still want it a year or years later, I’ll consider it.

Here’s “one” I got for my Grandfather. That picture is pretty old and Imjur was having issues with the original so it might be grainy.

also surprised at the results. My wife and I often think we are the only 2 adults in our age range w/o them.
I've been thinking about getting one recently b/c WTF? I made it this far right? Plus there are some amazing artists out there now. I def feel like if I was to get one 20-30 years ago I would have regretted it now.
I'm just waiting for my kids to get theirs b/c I dont think I know anyone under 25 w/o one. I just stress that its not anything or anywhere stupid that they might regret.
As someone in the art field professionally, I place a lot of importance on the artwork and its meaning. Personally, I cringe looking at people who look like they rolled around in a stamp factory and just have random designs all over their bodies. On the flip side, a nicely done sleeve, where elements are working together and tell a story is amazing to look at.

I got this big tribal/celtic knot thingy on my back about 25-30 years ago. I'm neither proud of nor regret it. Most of the time I forget it is there. If I were to do it again, I'd probably put more thought into it. I literally walked into a tattoo shop with a buddy, looked at a bunch of designs, and found one I thought looked cool. I was in the chair ten minutes later.

No. Almost totally opposed and I think that people that randomly tattoo themselves with no rhyme or reason have committed an act of body desecration.
And I don't care how old or weird that makes me sound. I see people with desecrated bodies everywhere. Especially the ones with metal all over their face. You've puncturing sensitive areas that were the Lord's work, folks. It causes me pain to have to look at some of the people who have gone out of their way to draw attention to their own pain.
