Do you think you will ever get one?



https://georgiastatesignal.com/the-stigmas-around-getting-inked-are-beginning-to-shift/

Even in todays American society, the meaning of tattoos is ever-changing. While they still hold a certain stigma about them, they are gradually becoming more accepted and appreciated.

A survey published by the Statista Research Department in 2019 states that, in the U.S. alone, about 44% of the population has at least one tattoo.

Scott Rogers, a professional tattoo artist at Inksomnia Tattoo and Body Piercing, has noticed the change of culture over the last few years.

The industry grows every day, he said. The outlook on tattoos has moved into an artistic one, and away from one of judgment. People are beginning to understand that getting tattooed is an artistic expression of yourself.

The image of the tattooed American has changed over the past decade. As body art becomes more accepted into society, those who have professional and elite careers are beginning to feel comfortable showing off their ink.

Yes, you pay an hourly rate for most pieces aside from flash art, usually.

Why the fuck would I tip if I just paid you $100 per hour?

Waitresses get tips because they make like two dollars an hour at a restaurant.

Pretty much all my friends have tattoos but I don't.

I've got nothing against them, it's just not my thing.

I'd rather spend my money on records and books.

I'm 34 and made it through the Army without getting one. Only thing I would even consider at the time was my state on a shoulder. Or a family Crest on my shoulder. Unless I get to have more money to spend, I'm good.

The permanence is the appeal and most people with tattoos dont give a fuck what people without them think about them

No. I never liked the look of tattoos, especially on women. It makes them look unattractive.

No. Not a fan of them (though in the "I don't see the point" way, not the "they're evil" way, so IDGAF if other people have them).

Everyone with a tattoo wants to show it off so bad and i dont blame them. If i got a tattoo on my back id never wear a shirt again and be like "oh? You noticed my tat? That thing? I forget its there but let me tell you its origin story!"
