(8,747 posts)Who dares to disagree with latest fad hipsters think is "cool". After all in this country, being "cool" is the ultimate goal in life.
And some people think Andre Serrano's Piss Christ is art but I'm not one of them. Just because someone labels something "art" does not make it so. I can call my hand a foot, but it doesn't make it one.
And yes, I'm am now an older person who finds tattoos unattractive. And it isn't about "outdated" tastes. My late uncle served in the Navy in WWII. He had tattoos covering both forearms. By the time I knew him, both forearms looked like someone had slopped blue-black ink on both of them. Not a single image was visible. So yes, I think about this young man who had tats done when we was 18, and 30 years later, he was still a handsome man, but his arms looked terrible. So that is what I think about when I think of people with lots of tats. Just wait until they get old.
