I hate them .
Some years ago my daughters mother in law decided to have a tattoo and wanted to get me to have one .
I said no politely,but she was disappointed.
A friend had one to celebrate her fiftieth birthday..Her husband wasn't happy .
I heard her telling him that Esmay is getting one at her age .
I wasn't.

Wow, awful lot of judgemental people on here!

Well if you have a thread entitled”Ugly fashions” it’s going to be judgemental by definition isn’t it?

I think it is entirely a matter of personal choice. If tattoos, piercings, designer stubble or shaved heads are your thing why not.

I dont like tatoos but one of my daughters has them as does her daughter its their choice but I don't approve honestly.

Beauty is on the eye of the beholder

I personally do not like 60s and 70s fashion at all, it is too overdone- but you do you and if it makes you happy, who am i to judge?

Here we go again...the anti tattoo army marches on. So many previous threads on tattoos and they all end up the same. They're like Marmite, love or hate em.

I have 2 full sleeves and have started a big tattoo on my shin. I have never been beautiful but now people stop me in the street to admire my arms. Lots of compliments.
Each to their own. hugs

Children not cherry. Don't know where test comes from.

I have a tattoo and I like it, neither of my adult cherry have one.
I love some if the edgy things people wear or have done. Previous generations always complain about what the younger generations wear or do.

One person's ugly is another's attractive. I seem to remember san swful lot of criticism of the clothes we wore in the 60s.

i just shut ,eyes faced with soem f the things \d\s and daughter wore in the 90s

DGS and DGD, always seem to dress very nicely. No tattoos, shaaved heads or designer stubble - on either of them.

I am thankful that neither of my children have tattoos or piercings. I must have brought them up right. lol.

My niece has a nose piercing which she things is really radical, but no one really cares- she's well over thirty and not a teenager!

When my daughter had a tattoo whilst at university, I was furious, I deducted £45 (the cost of the tattoo) from her next monthly allowance, she was very angry!

A row ensued, she accused me of being old fashioned.
She pointed at an old photo of me in an 80’s dress and laughed, I simply stated the dress had been donated to a charity shop and thankfully I didn’t have to wear it for every smart occasion in the future, you my darlng are stuck with the tattoo.

The penny dropped, she hates it now.

I wonder how much longer people will want their bodies covered with tattoos and full of metal piercings?
When will the men tire of stubble on their faces and shaved heads?
And will other, even uglier, fashions replace them?
