The Water Cooler – What’s Your Opinion On Tattoos?

What ever floats your boat. When I was a young Marine I got one on my
upper arm. Tattoos have been a part of human culture for thousands of
years, but I would say that the recent boom we’ve been seeing in the last
20 or so years is more of a craze, and will eventually die down. The only
opinion I have on tattoos is when they are on the neck and face. They look
preposterous, and in my opinion is an indication of a person who finds it
difficult to comprehend and weigh information when making choices, and
doesn’t understand the consequences it may have in the future, especially
when looking for employment
I also find the homemade tattoos concerning. When I was in health care,
many of my patients with homemade tattoos were infected with hepatitis C,
and a few were also infected with HIV. Tattoos should always be done by a
licensed professional in a sterile environment.

Way too many in too many areas of the body!! Looks STUPID! Especially on a woman !??! UGH !!!

I think tattoo removal services will be a booming business in the not too distant future.

They are totally classless and dirty looking.
When I was young only the swabis got them. Used to watch them in the window in downtown SanDiego and cringe!

Not a fan, they had their peak in 2002 with that dude from West Coast Choppers and Kat Von D……..and now she is blacking all of hers out!!
Also, I don’t remember in the 80s & 90s any geeks or nerds having tattoos…….but now I see those types with them, including the overweight individual riding around on a scooter at walmart with arm sleeve tattoos. Cringe.
