Before tattoos, it was pierced ears. I can't tell you how many heartbroken American pre-teens there were desperately trying to convince parents, usually fathers, that it was OK to let their daughters pierce their ears. Or cut their hair. I was one of them, and I had very liberal parents.<br /><br />I'm personally not a fan of tattoos, but am willing to admit and accept that it's a generational thing. Years from now, when our kids are our age and we've passed on, tattoos will be regarded differently, I'm sure of it.<br /> Sistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12392797355758635079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-35515891927089221982016-09-27T18:05:38.767-04:002016-09-27T18:05:38.767-04:00Susan: The issue of the safety of tattoo ink is co...Susan: The issue of the safety of tattoo ink is complicated because there are many different types. The FDA have not approved any ink for injection into the skin, and is studying the matter. <br /><br />I regard the "just consider what it will look like when your skin sags" an argument that has lost its power because tattoos have been around for many decades so anyone young has long had an opportunity to see what happens, and where. But behind that is an aversion toward aging, which is even more unattractive than a wobbly bluebird on the stomach.<br /><br />An answer might be the temporary ones? <br />Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-66161307068152696142016-09-27T17:51:37.868-04:002016-09-27T17:51:37.868-04:00LOL, mentioning fading tattoo ink made me smile. F...LOL, mentioning fading tattoo ink made me smile. For me, young people who want to get tats have a perfect right -- it's a personal choice. But I find myself wanting to say, "Just consider what it will look like when your skin sags." Depending on where you apply the tattoo, that could be a catastrophe or no biggie at all. (If, for instance, I had gotten a tattoo on my neck, I would now be wearing turtlenecks in July. Not a pleasant thought.)<br /><br />Susan's comment on the tattoo ink leaching into the body and causing trouble is frightening. Should be front page news for those considering body art.

I can get away with it out at our farm. <br /><br />I don't want to be a scold either---but have to mention this. We have a friend who is a nephrologist. He tells us that he is seeing damage from ingredients of tattoo ink leaching into the body. Since he deals with kidneys, I think he was referring to kidney damage. <br /><br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756033682201519150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-13885154937372660312016-09-27T09:08:58.749-04:002016-09-27T09:08:58.749-04:00Enjoyed your analysis of the generational differen...Enjoyed your analysis of the generational differences. What to wear can be confusing for me. At 62, I've still got that question running through my head when I shop or dress...is that (whatever) too young? Lately I've branched out into leggings + tunic for comfort and functionality. But still question the appropriateness.
