'I think to the 'older generation' it's like a taboo. But in todays culture it's much more accepted'- Female 18.
'It depends! its normally
· Say they’ve ruined their body
· Patronise them by calling them ‘Strong and Fierce’
Its becoming more popular with pop culture, but with meaningless tattoos simply for attention purposes'- Male 18
'I think more contemporary jobs are much more lenient on people - in this case, women - with tattoos. Places like hair salons, ‘hip’ clothing stores, or places where a lot of young people tend to hang out seem to be much more casual about that kind of thing. As for women in particular, I don’t think it differs all that greatly from their male counterparts who also have tattoos. If they’re getting a more professional job, they both would have to cover their tattoos somehow. Older generations definitely still have the mindset that tattoos are ugly or what have you, but it seems that it’s generally more acceptable for a man to have tattoos because it’s not a ‘feminine’ thing to do.'- Female 21
whta I've found with tattoos and the media is if a famous women gets a 'cute' little tattoo they cover it as a good thing but if they get something bigger and maybe more original then they are slated for ruining their body. where as men can get what they like and it recieves little attention. David Beckham's tattoos are considered fine but Jodie Marsh or Megan Fox' tattoos for example are not... I know this comment is quite late but just said I'd give an opinion..
