Tats used to be found only on military, bikers and criminals.
Now they are on teenagers...................
“Tats used to be found only on military, bikers and criminals.”
And the circus. I thought it was a neat trick of the elites to get people to burn and brand themselves as trash.
You repeat yourself.🤣
I remember teens in the 1950s and 1960s who, living in an area tattoos were illegal to make, would take a bottle of ink and do self tattooing. They always looked horrible.
The American Indian would do tattoos and also slash themselves with knives when a kinsman died.
Mountain man Andrew Garcia (Tough Trip Through Paradise) mentions his woman cut herself when a kinsman died. Some of the slashes were a half inch deep.
Dad who was in Europe in WW II, warned me about tattoos as he had seen or heard of soldiers with tattoos being taken prisoner and turned into lampshades.
When I was in, some of the enlistees went down and had tattoos done. I noticed the sharp detail but after a few weeks the tattoos began to lose their sharpness.
I never desired to be branded and had no desire for a tattoo.
The Marine Corps has a history of tattoos as long as they were Marine Corps tattoos. We had generals get tattoos in the late 19th century when they were young. I thought about getting a tattoo for seven years before I go mine. I got the standard “USMC,” pre-WWII, on my left shoulder. I have never regretted getting mine. After I got mine, I was surprised at how many field grade officers showed me their USMC tattoos.
