My next post was very much judgmental, but I think somewhat justified.
The older generations were not generally accepting of tattoos, so they were very much only embraced by fringe groups. Hence, my belief that old people having tattoos is scummy is fair -- as a kid the only old people I saw with tattoos were pretty shady.

Then as a kid, you sure didn't grow up around very many war veterans. Both of my grandfathers proudly served in WW2, and both have tattoos to show for it. Neither of them are shady. And my 50+ year old uncle has tattoos, and he is one of the nicest people I have ever known in my entire life.
And tattoos only turn into incomprehensible blobs if they are not properly cared for for decades - much like
skin becomes discolored and wrinkly if not cared for properly. In extreme cases, they can go after a few years. And they can always be touched up anyway.
Please quit spouting off your ignorance and hatred in this otherwise useful thread.
