I got tattoos back in 93, does this make me a slut? 

No, you're a dude.  Duh...

Yeah it makes him a sailor.

It's not that she has tats that's the problem here. It's that she has lots and lots of awful ones all over her.

Yep.  Those are some horrid tats.  But it is pretty obvious by looking at her she has terrible taste in general.

Tattoos on chicks are wrong, regardless of the generation, and are morally reserved for servicemen, bikers and convicts. 

Nobody else should get a pass, unless you're some goofy ass 3rd world tribal member, running around in a banana hammock with a spear, making clucking sounds to one another over whether the sun is mad at you or not.

Correct.

Not really.  I mean those tatoos are pretty sketchy but lots of perfectly prudish boring square women get tattoos these days.

Which is stupid.  Nothing worse than a 40something that tries to act like a 20something, like getting a tramp stamp or fucking up their leg with a butterfly, or Howard the Duck inside her pantie line.

What if said 40-something got said tattoos in her 20s and 30s?

Then the tats turn into a beluga whale from all the stretching and weight gain.

I've known a girl whose butt cheek scorpion had turned into a lobster before she turned 30.

A rock lobster!

Yeah not a fan.  I was just pointing out the horrible scourge of tattoo getting had spread throughout the female population.  Nobody is immune.

I also hate them on athletes.  What a bunch of posers.

Especially on black athletes. They are unreadable.

As Charles Emmerson Winchester said - Tattoos are the common man's way of sponsoring art.

Anyway, as much as I agree with CC's opinion about tattoos, I think they really got popular right around the early to mid-90s.  Meri's article states that the "craze" started in the 70s or 80s or whatever.  But that's sort of like saying the microbrewing movement started in the 70s.  It technically did get its start then, but it didn't really have a lot of momentum until the 90s.

The article is bs, there may have been people getting tattoes in the 90s but they were not the young professional women crying out for attention.  Back then those types into navel piercings.

There is nothing wrong with rain.

That may have been the case where you are, but I got my first tattoo in 1991, and I was one of the last in my crowd to get one. Belly button piercings were in, too, but not like tattoos, yet.

And I love how it's "crying out for attention".    Most of us kept our tattoos in places that were easily hidden. We were looking for professional work, after all. Only the idiots got them where they could easily be seen.

[CountDeMoney]

I think you should get your nipples pierced with rings the size of door knockers.  ZOUNDS! WHAT MOUNDS!

I agree.
