I think society accepts them more these days, ive had tattoos for many years (god without trying to sound so fucking old) but anyhu, i used to get stared at alot and old ladies would think i was gunna steal their handbag, here in New Zealand we’re a heavily populated tattooed society, its just everywhere, but in saying that there’s still alot of folk that will look at you sideways now. And i can still get from the old dears, “You’re such a pretty girl what did you do that to yourself for ?” lol…. then another friend from Slovakia who views tattoos as a form of self harm LMAO:D

I think I would agree with you Azure. I do know a few amount of people who are into tattoos and have them. At a friends we all enjoy going through his magazines. BUT when advertising my website on facebook my brother thought I had a tattoo. He said thank good I didnt. erm prob best not not say I am thinking of getting one my family wouldnt like it. Do I give a rat’s arse??

I think it depends on where you live and the age group you are dealing with. I live in St. Louis, MO in the states which is a liberal bubble in a very conserviative state. Around here most people over 50 associate tattoos with trailer trash and bikers but under 50 well….. we all have them. I swim at my gym and I would say that at least 80% of the guys that are under 50 have them. And this is a very affluent neighborhood in the greater St. Louis area. Also we have a gazillion tattoo studios and they are always crowded with people of every age and type. Tattoo are definitely becoming much more accepted then they were just a few years ago, at least in my neck of the US.
