Common Tattoos

Tattoos are very normal these days.

But I see some tattoos a lot more than others.

Maybe being from the south and my friend pool being from there too impacts my opinion.

Also my age.

I’m 38.

The tattoos I see most frequently are Crosses (like the Jesus one), Bettie Page or pinup type woman, and, butterfly tramp stamp.

So,

What do you see the most in tattoos?

Tribal arm bands and coi fish. I also see lots of crosses and stars. The closer to the city I get the more ink coverage I see. Out here in the woods people may have some small ones. Usually they are veterans. But in the city like Atlanta you see full sleeves or whole legs done. The same goes for piercings, the closer to large population centers the larger and more numerous the piercings.

Excellent observation.

Tribal arm bands were wicked popular when I was younger too.

How old are you?

If you don’t mind me asking, if you do just ignore it.

I agree about the more populated the area, the more tattoos.

I don’t understand the phenomenon,

But it’s a thing for sure.

No tats for me - I’m not big on self-harm.

“Don’t forget to buy milk” type of tattoos.

Words or sentences that you can’t make out from a distance on people’s hands or arms.

I don’t have any tattoos. No idea what’s common these days to be honest.

I say we have a competition. First one to get “schizophrenia.com” tattooed on their forehead, gets $100 dollars paid through paypal . and go…

I went to school with a guy that had a tattoo of “Your Name” on his ass.

I believe Steve-O made that one popular.

This is starting to turn into a bad tattoo thread,

But,

I also know a guy that had “WELCOME ABOARD” above his genitals.

Don’t ask how I know.

I know a woman who got a tattoo of a circular rainbow around her belly button with dancing unicorns on it.

Took several sessions and was in pastel.

About a week after she got it finished she found out she was pregnant.

I won’t say what it looked like after she had her baby, but I’m sure you can all imagine.

Oh wow that would be so unfortunate lol. I have a tattoo that goes a bit on my belly and it’s ten years old now so it’s been stretched and shrunk several times and it isn’t the prettiest lol

I’m 46. I’ve traveled a bunch. And being a musician I’ve spent time in different types of places. I’m a people watcher. Lots of people go to see a band so the band gets to see lots of people.
