      Thanks. I deserve to be showered in praise /s.

      Seriously, this kind of stuff is the least offensive thing about these people. I don’t care.

    Um, Gen X here…{waves}

    At one point in time, tattoos were mostly confined to military or gangs or what have you.

    I don’t think tattoos have been considered “edgy” in any way since maybe sometime in the 80s? My generation and younger tends to have tons of ink and facial/body piercings…I last remember people clutching their pearls about tattoos/piercings in maybe the early 90s?

      Yup, and we started young. Most of my friends and I got our first ones at around 16-17.

        I didn’t get my first tattoo until my late 20s, but still… Now I think it’s weird if someone doesn’t have a tattoo

          I don’t have any tattoos, but that’s mostly because I can never justify the cost, always feel like I have better things to do with a couple hundred dollars.

            My dad was covered in tats. My mom has a few. It was a totally normal thing my entire life. My siblings have some. Aunts, uncles.

            I don’t have any tattoos because I can’t think of a single solitary thing that I want on my skin permanently.

            I feel this. I got one tattoo when I was young and thought I had disposable income. I’ve wanted plenty more, but I can never justify the expense.

      Personally I will judge your tattoos depending on context, looking at you folks with fucking Harry Potter tattoos and fugly ass attempts to do a face. Also piercings irk me on an instinctual level, my brain registers them as injuries and I want to correct them this also applies to earrings, my solution is to avoid looking at them.

    Any commentary on the appearance of a politician is just distraction. Unless one of those tattoos is something like a swastika, don’t engage in this BS.

    Who even gives a shit about tattoos anymore? I think it’s a prerequisite to become a cop. They all have sleeves and they all think it makes them look badass. It doesn’t. The mustache either. Fucking goofs.

    The internet does not know how to react to Nancy Mace’s arms being covered in tattoos

    I mean… are they cool?
