1. You got that right! Before, when I was growing up, tattoos were mainly Navy guys, and now, they're everywhere!

It's unusual when you see someone w/o a tattoo! Kind of overdone, I think.

on women wearing very low-cut dresses. I can't help but react reflexively, but I realize my own negative opinion does not matter. -

I spoke too soon. No, it's not the tattoos that are going to "get to me" tonight- seeing the six-inch dagger fingernails on Cynthia Erivo... Ohhh. Even a zillion piercings don't get to me like those nails. Yuck.

Growing up my parents said low class people have tattoos. Luckily my husband grew up hearing the same thing! And he had no tattoos. I don’t get having them but don’t disparage anyone having them.

That said they don’t look good when you age and your skin sags.
