    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 don't object to tattoos in principle, but I know that I'm impulsive, so whenever I get an idea for a tattoo, I wait six months, and will only get it inked if I still want it then. So far, that has meant that I'm tattoo-free, though I still have a couple ideas that are in the 6-month incubation period. I think those might actually get realized. It helps that a cousin's son is an award-winning tattoo artist.

    I have three adult offspring, in their 20s and 30s. Only the youngest has tattoos, and not many.

    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.

    WTF, "the internet" isn't a monolith

    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.

    Shit, I'm ready to vote for a "Post Malone" if they run, and are not a fascist.

    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.

    Then let me tell you how to react - say, "who the fuck cares?" And then remind everyone that we have a pedo rapist president

    The internet does not have reactions. People do. Besides, if they like it why does someone else's opinion matter?
