Are you taking into account the demographic shift in this county that has been happening and will probably continue to happen going forward? Census projections are that Hispanics will double as a percentage of the US population over the next 30 years.

However, I believe it is a sign of cultural decay that will eventually reverse when we go back to a more conservative culture.
That may happen after a serious collapse, but it will happen eventually, if history is any guide.
Remember the Roaring 20s, or the 60's for that matter? What happened after those phases in history?

Once people get successful, they usually become more conservative.jalanlong wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 10:00 amAre you taking into account the demographic shift in this county that has been happening and will probably continue to happen going forward?

And we already know that Hispanics in general are much more conservative socially (e.g., Christian) than white leftists.
Re: A Current Fad?
Also, the 30's and 40's had much of the population living in small towns and rural areas. Those folks were culturally conservation by nature. Look at the shift where today most of the populations live in the larger cities.jalanlong wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 10:00 amAre you taking into account the demographic shift in this county that has been happening and will probably continue to happen going forward?

Re: A Current Fad?
OK, I now see what you were attempting to say, and yes, I agree that cultural style and taste changed and became more conservative after the 20s. Where tattoos might be viewed one day, I can't really say. Anyone getting a tattoo must be comfortable with commitment.Libertarian666 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 12:44 pmRight.

Wouldn't you agree the Roaring 20's and the end of the Gilded Age came with the Great Depression, which in turn resulted in the progressive action of FDR?
The result was the creation of, among other things, Social Security, farm relief, unemployment benefits, Anti-trust legislation and other Great Deal provisions?
I'm not seeing how the US became more conservative at that time, other than perhaps in global isolationist policy but certainly not domestically.

Re: A Current Fad?
I would imagine that tattoo removal will be a growth industry for at least the next few decades. Business/investment opportunity?
Re: A Current Fad?
If I were a young dermatologist I would look in that direction. I don't see how reversal could be done on the people that have extensive artwork on their body, and I bet it will be costly and painful.

If YOU want a tattoo but do not want to make it a lifetime decision you can go here and get a temporary peel-and-stick tattoo for adults that last one to two weeks.

My anecdote
Walking with a Japanese friend behind a young lady. He couldn't stop chuckling about why she had the symbol for a "gate" tattooed on the back of her neck. Motto: check what the symbol means before hand.
PS: Look up what this 4wd model means in Spanish

Re: A Current Fad?
More on tattoo's...
Yesterday a read a book on a Navy SEAL who was severely injured in Iraq. Had something like 26 operations. some of which required skin grafts.
His available skin to be used for the skin grafts was severely limited because so much of his skin was covered by tattoo's.
Therefore a downside to having tattoo's which may never come in to play for most people. But could for some. Probably far more likely now due to the prevalence of tattoo's.

Why would a tattoo interfere with a skin graft?

Re: A Current Fad?
I did a search and could not find an answer. That was what the book author had stated in his book.

Re: A Current Fad?
guessing...... not every area is covered in the "best for grafting" type skin, tattoos reduce the graft ability of the skin they are on, a lot of leg, ass, full sleeve style tattoos limits options?

Re: A Current Fad?
Yeah, my question is really why would tattoos reduce the graft ability of the skin they are on? It’s just injected ink; it’s not toxic.
Like Vinny, I also did a quick interwebz search but couldn’t find any obvious assertions that tattooed skin is harder to graft.

Well it would mess up the picture. It would turn out like this:
