Really? My perception is that it's going the other way; the people who care whether someone else draws on their skin tend to be older generations on the way out

Could be a sampling bias, an old friend's sister is a tattoo artist in Pittsburgh and I know numerous people with tattoos, but I don't see them going anywhere. Quite the opposite, I think they'll become more common in more segments of the population.

- danieltillett 9y agoIf you were to consider what was acceptable sexual activity in the 1970s and 1980s and the direction of the change you would not have predicted the current thinking. The important thing is not if tattoos will become unacceptable in the future, but trying to think what might change. Porn is another one especially if the pseudo-anonymity aspect is removed. I could certain imagine a future where porn returns to the margins.
