Well, at least that's one place that I won't be seeing it. I don't frequent places where people's butts are showing.
Today, I sat across from a woman in a waiting room. She had a condition that made her legs very large and fleshy, much larger than compared to the rest of her body. She was wearing shorts. She had a tattoo on her calf that I could not make out, even though we sat across from each other for about two hours. All I could think of is that a grandchild had sat at her feet and scribbled on her leg with a marker. I'm sure that whatever it was meant a lot to her, but whatever it was wasn't obvious.
I really think it's more uncommon now to NOT have tattoos if you're age 18-60. Or maybe I just hang around with too many hippies? That is possible. I also didn't know butt tattoos were a thing. Is it just women or men, too? For their Tinder and Instagram profiles, I assume.
Experiencing peer pressure at age 45+ is just funny. Like I haven't given it tons of thought for the past 20+ years, as tattoo popularity and social acceptance has soared. NYAD's above story being reason #1 on the mental 'con' list. I've watched Ink Master and I've seen a lot of aged tattoos in real life, and they just don't end up looking good, no matter how well they were done. Also on the con list: skin is important! And what's in that ink? And hepatitis! Nope.
Even my daughter has a large tattoo on her left upper arm. According to her, it's a cartoon character, one I've never heard of. To me it's just a big colored blob. I have seen many really artistic tattoos, but it's no sure thing!
My daughter is a walking comic book. She has the first line of the music to Nothing Else Matters on her thigh, she and her fiance are planning to do that one for their bridal waltz (it IS in 3/4 time).
Personally, I have never found a tattoo that I wanted to live with forever. Also, placement is key - what looks like good when you're young and firm has a tendency not to look so good when you get old and saggy.
