 And you sound like you're incapable of reason. I and many others feel that tattoos are a faddish. Their recent surge in popularity has many potential explanations, but in my opinion, tattoos generally look ridiculous, and I feel there are many other ways to express ones individuality without resorting to permanent images placed on the skin. The fact is, about half of those who get a tattoo wind up wanting it removed. um... ok... your source for "half of those who get a tattoo wind up wanting it removed" is found where? --gm-- i....feel.... cold as a razorblade, tight as a tourniquet, dry as a funeral drum...... | |

Being a woman who got her first tattoo at 50 (not ankle art) my experience was wanting one since my college days (late 60's eerly 70's). At that time it DID seem like a fad because all my friends were doing it (often very unsafely) and although there were many designs I liked, none of them were intimate enough to become a permanent part of my body. As stated before, my tattoos have evolved and represent serious rites of passage for me. Each one is filled with symbolism ~ even in the colors chosen. Most people at my job don't know about them ~ I would probably be the last person they would suspect of having them. For me, the art is so personally significant and brings a focus and reminder of who I am at my core when the world gets more than a little crazy. | |

Oh, the trouble I go through to make a credible point...The statistic comes from the American Society for Dermatological Surgery. Here's one of many links: http://www.av1611.org/tat...egret.html As for the recent increase of tattoo popularity, the data are everywhere.

TheMax said: To understand the recent surge in tattoo popularity or trendiness, it may be necessary to be more than 20 years old. Ask the 50 year-old woman with the ankle art why she waited so long. It probably didn't occur to her until recently (perhaps the past 10 years).
When I was 20, tattoos were hard to come by among anyone outside of enlisted military types, bikers, prisoners, or serious drug addicts. Don't believe me, no problem, but we're talking about 1982. I think one of the sage orgers on this thread, Handsclap, was merely 2 years old. OOH! THAT GREAT WAY TO MAKE PEOPLE RESPECT YOUR OPINION IT VERY VERY EVIL!!! MOCK MORE PEOPLE!!! SPREAD EVIL ON ORG LIKE MONKEY!!! E v i |, E v i |_ | |

TheMax said: I am confident that most lawyers, even the youngsters like you, don't have tattoos. And as you acknowledge, a visible tattoo is hardly the right law firm "look," even on casual Fridays. Of course it may depend on what tpe of law you practice. For example, it may be the preferred look in an entertainment law firm.
Entertainment law is one of my practice areas, albeit a small one. I don't think my clients in that industry "prefer" that I have body art, but it doesn't seem to bother them either. 
Matt, we hide many things about ourselves that we don't want our work colleagues, neighbors, or other casual acquaintances to know about. Others can't react negatively to your nipple piercings if they don't know about them. But that doesn't mean that your credibility as a serious professional might not be questioned if the judge (or opposing counsel) finds out that you have a ten inch unicorn tattoo on your back. Who needs that disadvantage?
To clarify, I don't care whether people know about my piercings. I simply keep them hidden, except for my earlobes (and I take the rings out of those when I'm in a situation that calls for me to wear a suit). I focus on things like properly analyzing the law and making effective arguments, not worrying about the remote possibility that opposing counsel or the judge is going to Google me and discover that I have piercings, attend raves, or anything else about me that seems unusual for a lawyer. As for credibility, most of my advocacy is written--despite what TV shows might lead folks to believe, I'm not in a courtroom very often--and I think my work product says much more about my credibility than my jewelry does.

Have you read the rest of the stuff on that site? Take a look at this page: http://www.av1611.org/666.html The statistic might be accurate, but citing to a source like "Dial-the-Truth Ministries" isn't exactly good for your credibility.
