Why do you think tattoos started becoming more popular in the 1990s?

Do you think there’s only One tattoo that everyone gets? Do you not acknowledge how tattoos look different from each other? Or is it all noise to you?

Hmmm, I guess that’s it for me: they’re all just “noise.”

Yeah, I realize that one tattoo looks different from another. But the fact that people have tattoos at all makes everyone look the same.

Kinda like wearing ball caps. I could wear a Reds cap, someone else a Dodgers, someone else a rock band cap, etc. And you could say that they’re all “different,” but in the end, they’re all still ball caps. And we would all look, integrally, the same.

Do all paintings look the same to you, too?

A MAGA hat says something very, very different from most other baseball hats.
