Will the tattoo fad fade out?

1) Is the current rise in tattoos just a trend or here to stay?
2) What is driving the tattoo fad?
Seems like in the past tattoos were just working class, bikers, and military. Now it is very common amongst middle class people (rich still don't seem to be partaking).
I am far to indecisive to get a tattoo.

I’m the same, too indecisive. I would have buyer’s remorse if I got a tattoo lol.
I feel like you see way more women these days with tattoos than guys. I’ve always said, when they are 80 years old, that ain’t gonna look good.

I wish it would go away before my daughter turns old enough to legally make bad decisions.

In high inflation times they can be a good investment. I got one in 2008 for $125, that same one now is over $450.

It really took off in the mid 90s.
That’s the first time I remember a “normal” person getting one that wasn’t a military person or a musician.
I never knew a single person with a tattoo growing up.

I agree. My 12 yo little girl is so beautiful. I cant imagine her defiling herself with a nasty tattoo.

For women they lose their appeal when she gets fat and she's over 30 generally. Then it just looks gross. Probably harsh to say that but it's just something I've noticed.
There's a lot of dirty arse looking people in the world.

The amount of kids in high school that have tattoos now is insane

Investment? You can sell it for a profit?

It's cultural primitivism. Literally. We are just mirroring primitive cultures that brand themselves and put holes in their noses and eye lids. It happens when a culture rejects its identity and seeks it elsewhere. In our case somewhere in the mid 90's that began to grow in funky white enclaves and spread from there throughout the middle class. Previous to that it had been strictly a subculture membership thing-the military, bikers etc.

I think the tat trend is here to stay.
I do wish the strange arse piercing trend would die a sudden death though...

Tats are part of the destruction of the middle class and it morphing into the poors.

I would recommend getting this as a minimum for insurance. Nobody will ever know you have a tattoo in day to day interactions, but if you ever do any time in prison this will give you more credibility and increase your quality of life.

Now it is very common amongst middle class people (rich still don't seem to be partaking).
Alternatively put, people who now can afford to have good taste do not always avail themselves of that opportunity.

Every fad fades out, then comes back, fades out again etc…

When will people stop attention-whoring?

It will always be popular for people with lack of impulse control and who can't think that far into the future.

No. The barbed wire is the "Mom Heart" of the 90's-2000's. It's already in the Tat HOF
